Way to go Ramblers!

That was our 40th conference win in the last three seasons. We’ve had stretches where we didn’t win 40 conference games for an entire coaching tenure. Love this program that’s been built.

Certainty in life:

1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Bradley fans complaining about officiating.

I’m just going to assume they’re complaining about no foul being called when Lucas with clearly hacked on the way up to shoot a three. In which case, I agree.

Re Bradley's seeding. I read on their board they will be a 3 if SIU beats Missouri State. Otherwise 4th behind Indiana State.
Is that right? I would prefer Bradley being on the opposite side of the bracket.

Surprisingly, one dude actually said it should have been a foul...

Nope. They are locked as the 4

They tied with Indiana State (who won today), and I believe ISblue will have the better NET ranking, so Bradley will be the 4 seed

Nice that DB got it one last flop at Carver. For the fans.

Bradley and their fans have zero class. Glad they sunk to 4. We won't see them again this year unless we meet them in the Arch Madness Final, which is very unlikely and also improves our chances of getting out of the tournament without injury from their cheap shots.

Bradley fans were the worst visiting fans at Gentile this year, and they were the worst (as far as I can tell) host fans. At Gentile, they left about 75 empty beer cans in the aisle where they were sitting. You know the new canvas awning that covers the player entrance? That's probably because of them... I didn't see any spit or projectiles, but it became apparent that was a possibility when they showed up this year.

Somebody said we probably didn't deserve to win the game... I beg to differ. Cheap shots, home cooking from refs, and boorish behavior in the stands and on the sidelines doesn't deserve to win.
