Whelp its senior night for Darius. From all accounts he seems like the nicest guy and an ultimate team player. Don't know if he will consider playing in a B league in Germany or something like that, but he could carve out a career in Europe, make a little income.
We would all love to see a win tonight, but that will be a stretch. Bradley overall has been pretty resilient all year and usually finds ways to fight/scrape stay in games. Their St. Louis seeding is pretty much wrapped up. I have a feeling they will give good effort, but will prolly think they can sleep walk through the game tonight. If they sleep walk enough and we shoot unconscious then their is a chance, but Our same weaknesses will still persist on defense. Can't have cold offensive stretches for half the game or it's a 15 point plus loss. Scoring will have to shared from Monegro, Shaw, Cooper, Darius, McNair. Got to believe Bradley will be focused on stopping Wright. Powell could use this as a signature win and momentum heading into the off season. I think the momentum caries over from Carbondale.
I'm insane enough to go with an upset tonight. 81-77 Valpo
Interesting that, pending tie breakers, its possible Valpo plays UIC twice in a row and with a win Valpo would play Bradley again next.
Last time wright had 3 points obviously he is different now. Sepp had a double double. Curious to see who comes through. Agree with Burnee77 maybe a little complacency slips in for Bradley.
In that game Sepp had 15 rebounds and 11 points in 45 minutes. That was his best game of the season and everything that bounced off the rim or the glass he grabbed or tipped to a teammate. Our team out rebounded them 47-40 and 16 of them were on offense.Last time wright had 3 points obviously he is different now. Sepp had a double double. Curious to see who comes through.

Will we see Carson tonight? Monegro played well in Peoria except for the missed free throw that cost us the game. I hope both he and Wright show up tonight ready to win.
