I hope they get in, but it doesn’t look good. Right now Joe Lunardi has them as 2nd team out after New Mexico. They can’t afford any more conference auto bid surprises

I was always under the impression that for the NIT, CBI or CIT you had to have at least a .500 record. The NCAA you can technically win your conference tournament and get in with a losing record. This year that is not the case with Evansville 16-17. So I am assuming they successfully “bought”...

Man, good for Evansville. God knows the have been through enough losing this past few years. That is a big plus for their program, extended practices, experience and recruiting. Good for them! What sucks is that should have been us! We have two chances vs. a 3 win Valpo team and an Evansville...

NOW we get a team in Evansville that finished the season with SEVEN Consecutive losses. I know Evansville is tough with Humrichous in the lineup, but we NEED to win a Thursday game and take another step forward this season! Burford coming back, even for a burst or two should help with energy...

Up to this Valpo game I liked the way we were finishing the season. Then we inexplicably lose to a THREE win Valpo team Again!!! I don’t care to see either Lieb or Pence even sniff the floor in St. Louis. NOW we get a team in Evansville that finished the season with SEVEN Consecutive losses. I...

I mean certain teams have traditionally given us fits every year (UNI - Drake), but I’ve never been sure why we skid vs. the lesser Valpo teams. They are 2-17 so we have to continue to play hard and come out with that win on the road. I watched that “absolute three overtime war” last night...

Was EXACTLY what I was thinking. When the out .5 back on the clock I didn’t want to see another ridiculous baseball pass tip to beat us either. Whew!

Holy smokes!!!!!!!!!! Johnny K saves the day!

Very frustrating to let a game like that slip through the cracks. It was there for the taking. We win that game and I believe we have served notice throughout the MVC that we are rolling into St. Lou. On the positive side - the defense was great, to shut down Bradley on the road while playing...

Birds Trending Up: Braves Trending Down: This game is there for the taking - No Hersey Hawkins and no Rienk Mast 😂😂 Keep the +80 point scoring train going. First to 80 points wins the game. Birds 80 Fradley 79 Go Birds!

Amazingly hard fought game. Honestly, at 11-14 coming off the losses to UIC and SIU I did not think this was possible. We are really hitting our stride and with a 2-1 finish we could actually finish the regular season with a winning record. Whether Coach Pedon, Buster Douglas or a players only...

Big game in the standings against a typically well coached team by Jacobson. They have given us fits over the years and we have been out-coached and outplayed. This is a good barometer game for us going into the Lou. Like to see Mal, Luke and Johnny stay hot. Also, Chase getting valuable minutes...

Certainly the win over Indy State on the road was spectacular. Realistically it was caused by a lot of factors - horrid three point shooting by the home team, but good defense on our end and a game of the year performance by Johnny. Pedon’s signature win so far. Now, can we actually win at home...

Just smile and savor the win everyone…..It’s OK……😁

Holy smokes!!!!!!!! Congrats Birds! Biggest win in years in The House of Horrors nonetheless! What a game boys, what a game Johnny! So proud right now. Finally! Go Birds!

Gobirds85 you said it all! We all invest time and energy (and $$) into the school and this program, because we want to see it succeed. Hell, on the odd occasion that we actually win something it even makes us feel great. What are we getting in return? What is our ROI? Frustration, lack of...

I wonder is Coach Pedon ever reads this board? I think he should. As a head coach of a D-1 program, you should have your finger on the pulse of the fan base. Most especially when you are trying to build or change a culture. That has not happened, and unfortunately he has not done a good job at...

Really looks like “we got our swagger back.” Right coach? Absolute embarrassment to lose to a 1-11 team at home. I don’t care who wasn’t playing (Burford) tonight. That last minute of the game pretty much sums up the season and the current state of this program - Keystone Cops that can’t get...

Agree! Our losses at home are: Norfolk State SIU Valpo Drake Bradley We should absolutely not have lost to NSU (in Horton), SIU or Valpo. Drake and Bradley are cream of the crop in the Valley along with Indy St. so there is no shame in that. There are only four teams in the MVC with overall...

Game was pretty much what I thought. Begrudgingly, Bradley is just light years ahead of us in roster talent and quite honestly better coached. Our staff seemed woefully unprepared and looked like they never even had a scouting report on the Braves. “The definition of insanity.” That being said...
