Bradley's results this year:
In game 1 at Bradley on 1/11, SIU led 29-26 at halftime before getting outscored 41-19 in the 2nd half.
In game 2 at home on 2/15, SIU went down 43-25 at halftime before rallying back to take the lead only to fall 69-67.

...an observation: virtually all of Bradley's losses (save their last game v Loyola) were not close games.
I'm not sure what that means...probably nothing.
In both SIU-Bradley games, Bradley had 41 rebounds...while SIU had 33 and 30.
For the entire season, Bradley outrebounded its opponents by 5 per game...while SIU was outrebounded by its opponents by that same number (5 per game).
Such a season-long disparity likely reflects reality as far as certain differences between the two teams are concerned.
And the rebounding differential demands that SIU make shots, and (especially, in my view) make 3 point shots--in order to advance.
I look forward to watching.
(1) US COVID-19 statistics (February 29, 2020-June 16, 2020): 2,124,000 reported cases and 115,052 deaths
(2) Donald Trump (June 15, 2020) told a group of senior citizens that there would be very few cases of COVID-19 if the US stopped its testing and contact tracing: "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, actually."
(3) Donald Trump [(Jan 20, 2020), when asked if he's worried about a pandemic]: “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s — going to be just fine.”
I especially want to win this game for Ronnie Suggs- hope he has a career game. Bradley posters go out of their way to bash him.

Agreed...Bradley fans can be insufferable sometimes. Get a win for all the seniors!
Get a win because we can win this tournament. Need some breaks to go our way and stay out of foul trouble but I head into STL thinking we have a fighting chance. LETS GO SALUKIS!!!!!!
game 1:
Good Guys - 67
Bad Guys - 64
BU by 7.
Let's Go Dawgs! Get your legs back and let's leave it all on the floor for 40 minutes.
something tells me we come out ticked off and beat the braves today. go dawgs.
Better get a hand in Kennell’s face all day and hope Benson stays out of foul trouble. And Domask is probably going to have to outscore Childs to keep Southern competitive.
Should be a fun atmosphere.
It’s game day!!! Looking forward to seeing a packed and rowdy SIU section! Let’s get some!!
Bradley favored by 5.5 which is lower than I thought it would be. Was expecting 7.5.
Hey, just found out Dish won't be carrying game today and ESPN+ is blocking all of Illinois. Does anyone know if game is on Mediacom and if so what channel?
