I think we can all agree that that was not a good game. But after losing like that to your biggest rival at home, how do you find the motivation to fight for the rest of the season?

Conference perfection is now within reach. Yeah, I have no idea. I thought that Bradley had a good shot at 3 wins in the MVC. If they win another game this year, I'll be surprised.

You have to feel really bad for the players at the end of the bench that just watch loss after loss without playing. How much worse could they be?

You go 0-18 and get ready to win the play-in game in STL like Drake did back in the late 90s...

At this point, why not give the walk-ons a little time. Maybe you spark something. I mean I know I am biased because I know one of the walk-ons but he is a dynamite 3 point shooter and he has never seen the floor. He may know going into it that he probably won't, but really how much worse can it get?
 
We've been talking about "rock bottom". I think this is it. The way our players walked off the floor you could see just how demoralized they felt. I really felt bad for them.

I honestly believe that when their "leader" got that technical (his second at the end of a game that cost them a potential win) it took all of the life out of them. Those boys felt let down by the man they blindly follow. It will be interesting to see how they respond next game. Can the "leader" get them back on board or will we see a team that has been lost?
 
Looks like the white out at the PCC tonight, isn't the only "white out"....Threads are being eliminated from here faster than they can be started! :lol:

Nothing like it since the end of the MO era...

All I gotta do is just suck it up, and hope that they win in convincing fashion against the Jays.

Not a good game? I was actually enthralled in a game that BU played until the last second. First time I've been able to do that in about a month and a half.

How do you have a 14 point lead turn into a 5 point lead in the first half and then have a 12 point lead in the 2nd half disappear and actually be losing at the end of it needing two FT's from WE because Carmichael missed his 2nd FT that would've made it a 3 point game and call it a good game?
 
Think I set a new P.R. in how much time it took to get one of my posts axed!

A proud moment! :lol:

I'll just stick to my MVC Pick Em Contest work!

That is good work AZ, the Pick Em is fun. Only good thing about tonight was that I was right in predicting we'd lose. I think I am going 4 for 5 this matchup which means I should be right up there at the top of the standings (for the 2nd half :cool: )

It was a good game by score only...not a well played game...

Gotta be the first time ever that people left a BU-ISU game going into overtime....alot of them left too not just a few

Not a well played game. BU just lacks to much talent to compete, but I did enjoy actually being in a game until the final buzzer. Little steps my friend little steps. :rolleyes:

I think you need to stay away from the Locker Room before the game :rolleyes:

Or did you find some place else to go before the game? lol

Please don't try and call this a 'good game'.
Two absolutely terrible college basketball teams throwing up bricks and missing free throws for 45 minutes...that's what it was...
Embarrassing...dismal...embarrassing basketball. Both Les and Jankovic should be ashamed of what they just masterminded between them...yuck.

they scored 13 points in OT

I think they played with good effort.

I take sports for what they are a hobby. Two teams fighting it out until the last seconds of the game in a great rivalry. So what both teams are bad it was still an exciting game, and I think the 8500 people yelling their heads off at the end of the game would have to agree. When was the last time we were able to do that this season. Was I upset we lost, yeah for 2 min. then I got on with life. I follow sports for enjoyment so no point in letting it ruin your day.

What BU basketball isn't your whole life? I agree too many folks make this their idol. Am I disappointed that we stink? Sure, but in the scheme of things it ranks pretty low.

Wow!


You must either have very little invested in the program or you must be a very rich man...


I take it a bit harder than just " oh well we lost ho hum, let's go grab a Coke "

Sorry but for me as a 40 year old man who has followed Bradley Basketball for all my life it is much more then just a hobby. I personally take all this losing pretty poorly and losing last night in the way it all unfolded was sickening.

I went to bed POd and woke up this morning the sameway. But today Im more upset about not just with losing and how it happened but with the real possibilty that this Bradley team could lose every single conference game. And after watching us struggle to do anything against another bad team its even worse because it is also a real possiblity that Bradley could be pretty bad for quite awhile.

I think its great you can follow for enjoyment only. I guess I am different and follow because it is my passion. That passion is bigtime bruised this season.

Man, we think alike B4L.
I wonder which BU player will get a T next game and not get reprimanded because Coach has no grounds for saying, "Your behavior is costing us the game!"
How would stomping your feet get a player's attention any more than yelling at them to get up??? I guess that's just Jimmy's style, but his style ain't workin' none too well these days.
