Bradley breaks a 14 game home winning streak by George Mason, the 4th longest in the nation.
For those that didn't watch the game, it was a typical Bradley game for the year. First 12 minutes of the game Bradley doesn't play that well, but is hanging in there only down 2 points. Then they get hot from deep and make 3 three pointers in a row over a 4 minute stretch and they are then up 10 in a flash. They get hot early in the 2nd half making more 3's and push the lead to 18 with 15 minutes to go.
They then go cold and get the turnover bug, and blow the big lead. It got all the way down to 3 points with about 4 minutes to go, but then Mr. Clutch Duke Dean hits a 3 as the shot clock expires to push the lead back up to 6. 2 missed George Mason lay-ups and a couple of clutch baskets by Corey Thomas, and Bradley cruises to an 8 point win.
Christian Davis was great early, as he finished with 21 points. Corey Thomas was forced into major minutes because Ahmet Jonovic picked up 2 fouls in the first 2 minutes of the game, and was SPECTACULAR today. He finished with a career high 21 points and 11 boards.
Bradley will host Chattanooga at Carver in Peoria on Tuesday with a trip to Hinkle Field House on the line.
