Sneak Attack Thread (As Commanded) Bradley Game

Bradley at Valpo MBB Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023 6:00 pm Athletics Recreation Center

Yes, it's a sneak attack!

Just how it feels to the Bradley MBB team when they suddenly get surprised by a 2 man very talented duo that gets help from not one but two other players to actually glide to a win by outscoring the Braves in the 1st half by 14 and then making the same mistakes they always do but winning by 1 in an exciting finish.

Why not?

Since it is never too soon to start a sneak attack should I try to tune in NBCSports Chicago Plus right now? Because it is senior night I will stay for the complete game even if we are down 50 at half time. I promise.

I could barely peel myself away to comment. Riveting viewing with Scottish Quadrathalon, followed by all my fishing show favorites. Valpo basketball could be a step down in quality for the hard core viewer!

Honestly, Valpo Basketball could be a step down from Lindner's Angling Edge (an outdoor fishing religion program that fishes for fish and fishes for people-drawing them to salvation)

Looks like about 39 temp and 100% chance of raining when Bradley steps off the bus so coach Wardle should be safe from physicaly falling on the ice outside the ARC. Hopefully inside may be a different story.

If historyman wants this to be THE Bradley game thread then he should add Bradley to this title after the "Sneak Attack" so that somebody else doesn't inadvertently start a competing thread.

If the players, coaches and refs have to suit up in gas masks I would consider that as an addition to our regular home court advantage!

And we need all the help we can get!

Did I read somewhere that we will have both anthems? Did we do that senior night for Tevonn and Max? Can't remember. Somebody should post the words for O Canada so we can refresh our memories. I've never before sang either anthem in a gas mask but there is a first time for everything.

Darius should know the words but can he sing?

Valpo by 12. Bradley sits 4 starters. Load management.

Our seeding at 9,10 or 11 means little or nothing. With Bradley and Drake tied at the top at 14-4 and meeting head to head in Peoria for the final game this should be much more important for them. Not sure how all the tie breakers play out but they could still guarantee the #1 seed by winning out and could guarantee a tie for 1st by losing tonight then beating Drake. Even ISUb has a slight chance of joining them in a 3 way tie. SIU and Belmont could also catch them. Long story short this is an important game for them. Wouldn't be shocked to see a nice Bradley crowd. I'm hoping so!

I do know the words to the Canadian National anthem by heart.

When I first read this I read it as the players and coaches showed up early.

historyman · February 22, 2023, 04:45:03 PM

The game is still on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ARC has been deemed safe and has been reopened. Tonight's basketball game will take place as-scheduled. A big thank you to VUPD, facilities management, Valpo Fire, Porter County Fire, and Porter County Hazmat for rapidly responding to and resolving this issue.

Bayou in for Greene please...

How many offensive rebounds is Bradley going to come down with?

tjjvalpo · February 22, 2023, 06:33:16 PM

At this rate, they will have 20 offensive rebounds.

tiny707 · February 22, 2023, 06:47:34 PM

Ben and Kobe are exhausted. Too many minutes. Bayou can get the boards.

AB · February 22, 2023, 07:41:42 PM

This reminds me of Valpo dissecting the Penguins on the road the last few years in the HL

Dr. T · February 22, 2023, 08:15:48 PM

As predicted, another lackluster performance by the Beacons. Oh well. Kudos to a strong Bradley team. Thankful to see Ben's parents could attend the last (2) games. Despite the losses, at least they can enjoy seeing their son give it his all —34 pts v. UIC on Sunday and another solid performance tonight against a much better-quality opponent.

From my seat it certainly didn't look like a safe place for the Beacons.

Not really. To play the best team in the Valley to 10 points is about as good as we can do with our team. We just don't have the players to do any better. Kudos to the guys for fighting till the end.

If Valpo wins the NCAA tournament, they are guaranteed not to have a 20 loss season.

That would be a truly Lutheran/proportionally catholic miracle!

A greater upset than even Leicester City winning the Premier League.
