We knew they would make a big run on a comeback. No just get a big lead again and the start of the 2nd half. And Toumi learn to hold onto the ball

Bradley really stepped up the defense. We could be ahead by more but if you told me before the game that we would be up 5 at half, I’d take it.

I guess we should keep the same starting five for the second half.

I'd rather have the 17 point lead but I'll settle for a 5 point lead. Last game we were down about 20 at the half.

Hickman has zero points. Hope that shuts up the Bobe haters. Good job on the defense

Alright, great half! Aces up at halftime against one of the best teams in the Valley... if you told me this a month ago, I would have laughed. Let's finish this thing! Pretty sure Scott S. (play by play guy that I couldn't spell his last name  ) picked Bradley to win the MVC postseason tournament. |

Bradley has 8 offensive rebounds and 0 2nd chance points. I'd say are defense is pretty good.

Great first half for sure. Areas we could improve in: - Getting outrebounded 22-14;
- Have given up eight offensive rebounds (We have only two.)
Overall, a super half. Points are going to be tough to come by in the second half as Bradley has really upped the defensive intensity. Like how the guys are playing tonight for sure.

For us to have a chance of winning we definitely have to keep Bradley under 60 and possibly lower. I don't think we get to 60 with the way Bradley is playing D at the moment (but I hope I'm wrong).

Best play of the second half for us. Steal by Kenny ignites the fast break layup by Antonio:

Seems like it is going to be a back and forth game coming down the stretch. We need to make sure they don't go on any runs like they did to end the 1H

There are a lot of people who think Bradley is the best team in the MVC when they are at full strength like they are now. And we are going toe to toe with them. Down 54-51 with 7:53 to go.

Ben at 22 minutes now with 7:53 to go. I hope he is ok for several more minutes as we need him as much as he can go.
