We have a brutal schedule down the stretch but after tonight we still have an outside shot at a 20-win season with seven games to go and at least one game in St. Louis.

Huge win ! Biggest win since the UK game in 2019 ! We got the great start, came out ready to play and giving payback for the butt kicking we took in Peoria. When was the last time we beat Bradley anywhere? They have really had our number.
Hopefully the paybacks can continue with Drake coming in Tuesday night.
Lets enjoy this one. I am not sure how many fans were at the game but those who made the effort were really into the game and treated to the best game vs the best team to come into The Ford this season. Scott Schreffler was talking about it on the post game show about how important the crowd is in games like this. Tonight's game reminded me of those classic battles we had years ago at Roberts Stadium. Sure would be great to get back to those days. Tonight was a step in that direction.
Go Aces !

Nice to see this staff doing it in only their 2nd season, really first full season when you get down to it. Great things to come if we can keep getting guys that can play.

Any update on Tanner? I did see him in the distance in the Hard Body belt celebration (on page six of this thread). Presuming that he is ok but he took quite a shot to the head.

Surprised Haffner did not see the floor again after connecting on a couple 3's early on. His form was great on those shots -- let's hope he has found his groove.

Great win! Good job tonite from our guards who came through with clutch free throws and played hard defense all night long. Kenny continues to play tough defense and hit a clutch 3 down the stretch. I think Bobe, Thomas and Kenny see the finish line and want to go out with a winning season.

Bizarre that the ref stood there and watched Cuff hit the floor, let them play on and finally decided to stop the game and review it. Finally decided evidently it was too late to call a foul, so it's just a "basketball play."

Cuff had to show the ref his nose was bleeding to get an injury time out

Have not seen the replay -- but was unsure if Cuff was hit in the face by the their player or if the bleeding came from Cuff's head hitting the floor. Either way, the ref was right there and had to see Cuff being pushed from behind.

Either way, the ref was right there and had to see Cuff being pushed from behind. The Bradley’s player’s elbow hit Tanner in the head/face. It did not appear to be intentional. Since there was no foul called on the floor when it happened, the review could only evaluate if it was flagrant - they could not call a common foul (on review). Since it was not intentional, they ruled it a basketball play. The announcers even agreed that was the proper call given the above context but said that it was unfortunate (presumably that they could not call a common foul on the review).

Phenomenal game by the Aces tonight! That defense was outstanding! Incredible turnaround from the last Bradley/Evansville game ... Wow!
