Re: Game Thread - Bradley University Braves

What an interesting comparison of best/worst losses between these 2 teams.

Re: Game Thread - Bradley University Braves

Bradley's Connor Hickman (ankle) is OUT for tonight's game against Duquesne, per Brian Wardle.

Averages 13.5 PPG.

phil95, Nebraska jumped 20 spots to #42 with their convincing win over K-State. Princeton at 46.

Thanks for the update, CLK. Hickman had missed the previous 2 Bradley games, both losses. He’s a good player, and his absense limits Bradley’s 3 point shooting and ball movement. And they don’t have a lot of depth so they can be worn down as the game goes on.

No TV? That is a shame!

What radio station can we pick up the game on?

Sounds like we're getting pounded on the boards.

Re: Game Thread - Bradley University Braves

I expected a slow start after being idle for 10-days.  Bradley is a good team, so they better wake up before it’s too late.

Re: Game Thread - Bradley University Braves

This is not going the way I like it with 15 minutes left in the second half.  This too is a game that DU should and must win.  This scheduling with all the time off hasn't helped, what the hell Dave?

Nice radio coverage, checking out of live action for a stream of commercials.

Re: Game Thread - Bradley University Braves

I know these games have been televised in the past. I don’t know why they aren’t anymore. Hopefully we’ll get to see highlights somehow because it sounds like it was a pretty exciting finish.

What a pleasure it is to be on the fun side of these kinds of games after being the loser of so many such contests!

That's the truth, those commercials just ran anytime they wanted, regardless of the game.

Switched to Bradley's network, so much better.
