Cooooop! Needed that one...

Sigh...what a shitty way to lose.

Hats off to Bradley. They played great defense...

Easy to play good defense with 8 players on the court.

As clarification, the way the refs called the game was atrocious. They completely altered the way we play our game. It's on Porter for not adjusting. Regardless, that was a trash game to watch

Let's not do this. Our execution wasn't there. Townes couldn't hit the shots he has been hitting all year. Frank missed a few wide open layups. Just wasn't meant to be.

It was no doubt a physical game, but good teams find a way to win those. Wish we could have sent Custer/Townes out with another NCAA appearance.

I did an edit a bit too late.

We needed to adjust and we didn't. Period. But let's not pretend that the officiating didn't take us out of our game. Marques and Krut bring it inside and attack the basket. When the refs blatantly ignore fouls, that gives the other team the advantage.

Look great one game, look bad the next. Story of the season. About the only positive was Kaifes showing he’s not afraid of the big stage. Great years ahead for that kid.

Agree with this. Refs definitely let a lot go. Bradley is no doubt the more physical team. Once you could tell early in the game that the refs were going to let a lot go, you knew it'd be a tough one to win.

Kaifes was awesome. He was wide open on that last possession too....

He absolutely was. I can understand the senior wanting to take the shot to tie it. But, yeah.

I think Porter wanted the ball in Custer's hands. Custer is a winner...I'm ok with him taking that last shot. It just wasn't meant to be. We never really got it together in this game, and even when we had the lead, we didn't seem to be confident with our possessions.

Just cuz I now have nothing better to do, here's a list of Bradley fouls called this season going backward from today till beginning of conference.
Plus three for sure were intentional today to kill clock.
8 so 5)-16-20-13-14-21-16-10(LUC)-20-11-17-18-14-18-16-29-10. WOW. Even so, LUC did not play its best basketball today.
