Bradley Predictions?

[ihateISU]

This is going to be a tough challenge for the Panthers since they haven't won many games there before. I think the guys; mostly the seniors want this game to prove they can win in Peoria. They want to start off conference play the right way so.....

UNI 67
Bradley 61

[panther2317]

UNI needs to:

Limit second chance scoring opportunities for Bradley (win the battle of the boards)
Take away transition points (turn and sprint to the defensive end of the floor)
Shoot the basketball well (40% or better from 3-point line)
Get to the FT line more than the Braves (limit fouls and make our FT's)

The real season starts tonight...and we've got a great big target on our backs...the Panthers will get every teams' best shot and I hope we're ready for it. I'm sure the coaches and players will be ready and they've been preparing like that all week. GO PANTHERS!!!

[Panthers to the Bone]

They will be and are VERY focused on the task at hand. Will be a great game.

Hey ihateISU... way to start posting again, haven't heard from you in awhile!

My friend and I will be at this game tonight, I'm very excited to see the guys turn around the 14-1 (?) win advantage that Bradley has on us there.

There was talk before, but is anyone else gonna make it there tonight? I'll be there in my brand new bball jersey and purple & gold shoes I got for Christmas! I'd make a score prediction, but I'm not good at that kind of thing, so I'll just say I think the Panthers will come out on top in this one.

Panthers 68
Braves 66

Yeah I probably shouldnt be doing this at work, oh well...Too bad I couldn't make it down there with you. Have fun and cheer loud...Bring home a victory!

[ejacobson]

UNI= 60
BU= 54

I think low scoring defensive affair. Its gonna be a tough one, but the boys have had some good tough road games to prep them this year. GO PANTHERS!!!!!

UNI 63 - BU 59 Defense will "Get R Done"

We went in to LSU and won, I believe we can take that with us to Peoria.
I agree-should be low scoring. Just make our free throws or it will be the death of us.

[The Coletrain]

All I can think about when I hear about the Bradley Braves is Hersey Hawkins!! No Hawk tonight though, so UNI will come out on top 72-67. Should be a tough one though as Sommerville and O'Bryant will be no joke.
