Duke/UNC? Those teams wear blue....ISU/BU wear red. Nice try.

Redbirds 75
Braves 59

Bradley hasn't had an answer for Jackie Carmichael for the past three years, so why stop now.

This is a big game for Bradley and the program. Bradley goes as Walt Lemon goes.

Huge game tonight for both teams. A BU win and there is still hope to get out of Thursday in St. Louis (I don't see us getting out of Thursday with a loss tonight). A win tonight for the deadbirds and they are well on their way to playing themselves out of Thursday night, but a loss puts them still 2 games back of BU.

I'm sick and tired of losing to ISU (only current BU player to be on the team for a win against ISU is 6th year senior Will Egolf, and that was his Freshman year).

Time to break the streak, BU wins 66-62.

This loss would make Braves fans suffer even longer, as the game in Normal will probably go to the Birds again.

This is our toughest "winnable" home game of the season. The trend in these games is we get out to a good start and then let the Redbirds take control and go on a streak in the 2nd half.

I don't feel good about this game as a Braves fan based on recent history of the rivalry.

This game is like Bradley's Superbowl. You lose and it hurts for a long time and not much on the line after that.

More important than giving a chance to stay out of Thursday is the fact we gotta turn the tide on this series and make it fun again. It hasn't been fun at all for BU fans.

Pretty good game. Would be much closer if Bradley were making their open shots.

Why the hell are Bradley students storming the court?

Because they've never seen a BU victory over ISU.

Yeap, it's been 3 long years, but we finally got a win against the redbirds again!

Despite ISU shooting the lights out from 3 and hitting 13 of them, Bradley is able to overcome it all and pull out a huge win.

Back to reality on Saturday when we play at CU, but for tonight, I don't think we've had a more satisfying BU win in probably 4+ years.
