Wardle & BU (Cancun Challenge Champs)

It's early, but you get the sense the last couple years that Wardle has something special brewing here. Probably won't get the real payoff til next season and the season after that, but this is great to see:

Good for BU, and even better for The Valley.

Horrible from the free throw line. Got out rebounded. Played great D again.

We are one shot from being 6 and 0 , still 5 and 1 with wins over SMU and Penn St. #NITatworst #Thearrival.

Would’ve been a undefeated day for the MVC , dag nab it Porter. Go Bu , Go MVC.

I was more worried about the boards before reading about the game (wasn't able to watch). Sounds like BU packed the paint and forced PSU to take a lot of contested threes that clanked for long rebounds back to PSU. Still not a good number, but it made more sense why it didn't impact the outcome more when I realized those were largely long rebounds that went back up for more contested 3-point misses--not a hustle and effort deficit.

You are spot on. I do think some of it was being worn out and not running them down. Free throws hopefully from being warn out to and coming home and rolling Chicago State will help. Go BU

Careful there....I hear Chicago State is pretty good.

Well they had the Undisputed Favorites on the ropes so I'm just hoping we can keep it close!

Well with this being Bradley's toughest OOC opponent on the schedule, I think they'll be up for it.

Tougher than the NIT champs? Ok.

I said I was disappointed by this year's schedule when it came out and I still am. Granted IUPUI won at Boston College. Georgia Southern's undefeated and #2 in RPI. SELA is looking worse than expected. Next year we need to step up the scheduling big time, and the Ft Myers Tipoff is a good start.
