Bears @ Braves (Sat. 1:00 p.m.)

Big game for both squads in the battle for a tie for 4th in the league!
Both teams still will have a good chance at playing on Thursday in St. Louis, but this game could be a momentum builder for the winner.

Hopefully Egolf will give us just enough like the last game vs. SIU.
Our three-point shooting in league play has been very shocking!...but I actually see it staying steady in the top half of the league throughout the year, as Eastman and Egolf have gained so much confidence in that shot, while DSE gets streaky with the long ball from time to time.

Saw Bradley play on the tube a couple of weeks ago and was impressed with how quick the team was. Bears are young but Lusk has them working hard, believing in themselves.

I think all the Bears are finally healthy again so that should help us. Last game Gavin really played well and showed his offensive versatility. Hpoing that continues.

I am going with the Red team.

Braves looking pretty solid, leading 25-13 w/5 minutes to go in the 1st half.

Geno Ford continues to impress. I am glad to see quality basketball returning to Peoria.

Braves off to a strong start...5 for 8 on 3's has pushed them to a double-digit lead.
27-16 BU with about 4 to go.

BU 35
MSU 20
Halftime

BU 6-10 from downtown, as Egolf goes 3-4 and even Shayok gets into the fun with a 3-ball late in the half!

Braves couldn't have played much better, and other than a couple highly contested 3's that went in for the Bears, they couldn't have played much worse. I believe they have 9 TOs so far, and DSE without a steal.

2 pt game with 14 seconds left. MSU has the ball and is down 2. Looking like even if they don't win the Bears will cover which didn't look promising at half. Thank you MSU!
