FU BU. It sucks to BU. Go Birds. Wished the wildcard boadcast picked us, but it doesn't look like they did.

I took two courses at Bradley. Hated the campus and switched my graduate work to the Florida Institute of Technology. Anyone remember when we knocked them off at Robertson Fiedhouse in 1982 in the Valley semifinal when they had Thirdkill, , Reese and Anderson? What a huge win!

 

[ILLST25]

I’m ready for Johnny Stockton to put 30 on their head and get this legacy rolling

 

[ISUalum19]

Lets keep this momentum going. As long as we keep playing how we've been playing the last few games, I see no reason why we cant go sneak out a win. Statement game.

ISU - 80

FRADLEY - 75.

And as always, BUCK FRADLEY.

I remember that game. I had just started working at Cat in January and one of the guys in my training class was a big BU fan. He was quiet after. I will say, Bradley got screwed by NCAA that year and steamrolled in the NIT. Would have made second weekend or final 8 in my opinion.

Can't let Hannah run free for dunk after dunk...find a way to get and keep a body on him.

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

I will be there and I hope a bunch of other Redbird fans will be as well. Need find a way to contend their length

 

[ISU86]

I feel this game will come down to officiating style. If it is a loose game, we will not have to count on heavy minutes from the bench; if it is tightly called, guys may be seeing playing time that have not recently.

I just do not see us getting out of Carver Arena and having our starting five all log thirty-plus minutes.

Redbirds 66
Braves 76

I was at the game in 1982 at Robertson. They beat us both times in the regular season and we were not given much of a chance in Peoria. That was supposed to be the last game ever at the airplane hanger. BU was not selected for the NCAA and wound up playing additional games at home. I can say I saw ISU gave them their last loss at Robertson. If we beat them on Saturday, it will be a similar sized upset.

 

[Dmills]

Since our last meeting:
Bradley 2-3
Wins over UIC and Missouri State
Losses against Evansville, Drake, and Northern Iowa

Illinois State 3-2
Wins over Indiana State, Evansville, and Northern Iowa
Losses against UIC and SIU

We had 3 common opponents - all with opposite results.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

If we're wearing the red jerseys, we win.

That’s pretty interesting

They're beatable, but also dangerous. One thing is for sure: we simply cannot come out like we did in our last matchup. That's a surefire way to surf a dinghy up Shit's Creek in the dark. Beyond that, no clue for this one.

One of their big men shot the long ball really well against the birds last time out. He answered back with some big threes to end any attempt to make a comeback it seemed like every time in the second half. If the birds continue to play as well as the have the last three games they have a good shot at getting the streak to 4. They’re a much better team this go around compared to last time playing them.

I’m a little bit Alexis..

If we're wearing the red jerseys, we win.

What if that is Bradley's takeaway from watching the last three games and the first item on their scouting report is to wear their Road Reds at home, which would force us to go white, black or grey?

Then it’s white uniforms 100x out of 100.

I hope Bradley is truly game planning around the Redbird uniform colors. I’d say they’d have em right where they want them then.

Big chance to put up or shut up against Bradley. Hope the Birds come out ready.

Any good spots to eat before the game walking distance to Carver?
