Redbirds v Bradley 1/20 8:00 PM Marquee (ESPN3)
- Thread starter ISU86
- Start date
Incredible win made even more thrilling by showing some grit and digging out of that 12 point hole they fell into. They played well on D and made some tough shots. This should help with confidence going forward. 10 turnovers and 9 fouls and 10-14 on FTs. Improvements all around. Here’s looking for more of this kind of consistency Moving forward.

Great game and even better effort. Didn’t see this coming but they looked great minus thst first 5 ish minutes. Reeves played great along with Horne being on fire. Love seeing Reeves get better and better at getting to the rim, we need more guards who can score in the paint.
Stealth MVP Kotov. He made it much more difficult to make the inside pass. 6.10 is 6.10!! He looked much more comfortable in the middle. NO prolonged scoring droughts in second half. Especially pleased with the way we STARTED the second half. Just simply amazing. ESP when we got off to our 4 points in the first 7 plus

What?
I watched it on TV as it looked worse from that angle. He pulled Dusan's arm down. Then after Kotov's arm was down, Dan yelled at Kotov and gave him a nice shove (pretty sure to his neck).

I felt like Muller was celebrating with them more than telling them to stop. If they were talking trash to those bums from Peoria, good for them. I hate Bradley more than my second ex wife. As bad as the last few years have been it always feels good to beat Bradley.
I remember Donewald’s first win over them in Horton. This is nothing compared to the end of that game.

This was the first game I've seen this season. The guys look really good. I'm sure all of you have been
giving them a lot of love.
Are we nationally ranked?

Beating Bradley at Horton was always fun. As far as Dan, I wish he was celebrating. After he shoved Kotov, you can hear him say "Don't do that again".

Bradley's guards really struggled especially in the second half. Tahvanainen couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I thought Henry has always been a thorn in our side so it was nice that the game he is missing is against us. He seems to bring a lot of energy to them.

Not sure I have anything new, kinda repeating what others have said. But I admit I sure didn’t see that coming especially after the start. It would really be great to build on it this weekend against a very beatable Valpo. But if it’s a rare win, sure is nice it’s Bradley! Enjoyed going over and reading the meltdown on their board

This team hasn't been good but they've never quit grinding. Hoping last night was a sign the hard work is starting to pay off and not just an anomaly.

im convinced one of the problems is dan can only be decent when playing from behind because when they get a 10 point lead they lose it EVERYTIME. The only reason I can think of is he uses 10 points leads as practice for areas they need to work on and let the teams back in the game instead of stepping on their throat.
