Quick scouting report on the Braves (that takes a very optimistic tone)

Valpo 72
Bradley 60

Who knows what to expect on the court at this point. We could dominate and ever "Centier Bank 3-pointer" early and often. Maybe we play defense. Maybe we work in the back door cuts. Maybe we undergo yet another long scoring drought. Maybe Bradley does. I really don't know with this team.

Here's my question: it's a Saturday night game. No snow in the forecast.

+/- 2,500?

No reason why it should be (-) .... right?

[Just Sayin]

Valpo favored but Bradley is at full strength and are playing well and are on a four-game winning streak. Bradley steals one from us tomorrow.

Wardle goes down.  On a patch of ice and in the game.

[M]

LOL, just like old times. 

[GoldenCrusader87]

Buy one get one tickets for Saturday's and Tuesday's games.

Nice for season ticket holders who paid FULL price ....

A clear sign things are going well and headed in the right direction.

[M]

I said the same thing to the gas station attendant when I got gas for $2.49 the other day and then saw it for $2.29.  Can't believe they wouldn't refund me.

[NativeCheesehead]

As stated above, will be really curious to see attendance tonight with good weather and cheap tickets, but I'm prepared to be disappointed.

Good news is, I watched our two game win streak from various hotel rooms and watched our last loss from home. I'm back on the road today so we're getting that W tonight.

[GoldenCrusader87]

Gas station comparison is really ... ummm ... lol no comment.

[GoldenCrusader87]

Beautiful day ... Saturday night ... but one get one tickets ... hall of fame night ...

I'm taking the over on 2500 in attendance.

Hoping for ... 3,000

[valpotx]

Guessing 3,200

Guessing 3,200

Just came here to say the same, looks like a decent little crowd!

[oklahomamick]

Bradley thinks it's all good, just wait until they start leading by 17 then they in trouble.

[nkvu]

Off to our usual start. Maybe if we get down 15 or 20 we'll start to play a bit.

[GoVU]

Krikke needs to slam it down like that every time! A thing of beauty!

[oklahomamick]

Krikke Can dunk!

[VALPO LI]

That's what I'm talking about Krikke take it to the hoop and dunk it

[valpotx]

Mileek doesn't seem to understand that you can't dribble into your guy, without expecting that the help-side defender will try to sag off his guy, for an easy steal.  He does that over and over, and it is extremely annoying.

[nkvu]

Another four or five points down and we'll have them right where we want them.

[FieldGoodie05]

I don't care how many three-pointers Mileek can make I would still ride him on the pine to start games because Krikke is just better than him.

[VUSWIM08-12]

Can we check to see if ML actually got a degree from Stanford...LOL. ughh same thing over and over , Lottichs fault, no one else's...He is supposed to lead young men and has no clue how to, that offensive foul on JFL wasn't there. Lottich sat on the bench. Weak

[VUSL98]

Just keep JFL, Krikke and Clay for next year, and I'll be happy.

[oklahomamick]

Gordon has been really good this game so far.

[nkvu]

Do we ever defend the back cut?  Seems like every team in the league runs that successfully on us.

Then again, we haven't defended much of anything so far.
