Bradley is slowly improving each game out.

CMU did have a weak schedule for sure. CMU is a bad defensive team and a pretty good offensive one.

Bradley dominated on the glass. That is what BU has to do to win games. That and really defend.

Warren Jones scored 33 points and was on fire all night. He takes questionable shots but he does like to and looks to score. Freshman Josh Cunningham is really going to be a stud in this league. Fellow freshman Donte Thomas was a trainwreck offensively but did get 8 rebounds.

BU goes to Memphis and K State now.

That doesn't look well for the top of the Valley.

Not really an upset we were underdogs. Played hard whole game against vcu turnovers are a given they probably cause the most in the nation or right up there. Missed free throws the last couple minutes and a few unforced turnovers hurt as well as not being able to grab an def rebound their possession with a minute left. Overall I'm very optimistic after our performance even tho it sucks to lose a game we had a shot at winning.

10 days ago I thought Bradley might be one of the 30 worst teams in CBB. Now I think they will probably beat Memphis next week. Still not sure if that means they aren't a bottom 50 team. Memphis...woof.

Cdizzle...Bradley got quite a bit better once Auston Barnes came back.

I'm not saying he is Isiah Thomas but I want to see Bradley with JUCO PG Tramique Sutherland on the floor. If he can settle things, run the show and get the ball to the right people Bradley should improve again.

Again, not saying it's an MVC championship contender but BU is getting better each time out.

I think the ongoing improvement is very important to the Braves. Tons of new talent trying to create some chemistry.

How can you not like an announcer who says stuff like, "There's a lot of fight in Daishon Knight." Uh, we knew that.

He was being facetious. Tough loss though. We should've won that one. We handled the pressure so well for the majority of the first half. For some reason guys got nervous in the second half and couldn't handle it. I loved our defense for the most part. We held them to something around 30% and shot 50%. That's a game you have to win. I think this team is about to hit their stride. They don't quit, and if we can consistently shoot anywhere near how we did tonight with our tough defense, we'll be hard to beat.

Congrats to the Redbirds on a very strong showing. A heartbeat away from the Valleys biggest win of the new season. Was a fun game to watch!

Sounds like Bradley is getting it going. Congrats also.

I think its going to be an exciting and unpredictable year.

Be fun to watch Wichita tonight, first big test, right? Why have the Shockers only played 4 games?
