Well, call me a prophet, call me a fortune teller, call me Doctor Singh if you want, haha... but whatever you call me, call me RIGHT, because I called it:  BRADLEY beats the Bluejays of Creighton, 81-62, earlier this afternoon.  After two disappointing losses during the regular conference season, my teammates and I emerged victorious in front of a huge sea of Bradley red at the Scottrade Center.  Thanks in large part to some suffocating defense, some toughness, and imposing our will to win, we finally got some payback when it counted the most. 

After a nice night of sleep, in one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in all season, I woke up recharged and ready to stick it to Kenny Lawson, Jr. A quick meal at breakfast and some last minutes clips of Creighton, as well as a review of our opening play and then it was upstairs to pack and head over to the arena.  My parents, as well as my younger brother, Josh, and my childhood best friend were a few of many the Bradley fans in attendance. 

Just a quick shout out to all the fans who made the trip down here and to the many back home who are watching us on TV:  THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT THIS SEASON! 

A stellar performance from Sammy Maniscalco, some inspiring play off the bench from Jake "The Snake" Eastman, and just an all-around great defensive performance allowed us to now face the #1 seed Panthers of Northern Iowa.  Game time will be tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 pm and the game will be televised again on Fox Sports Midwest. 

Just got back from dinner downstairs at the hotel...it seems like all we do when we're in St. Louis is eat, lol.  I'm stuffed. We talked a little UNI and watched some film on the Panthers, but at this point of the season, each team knows the other quite well and it just comes down to hustle plays, 50/50 balls, execution, and who wants it more (Hint: that would be the Bradley Braves).

Time to get some sleep, because its gonna be another hard fought one tomorrow afternoon.  So from St. Louis ... goodnight, and GOOOOO BRAVVVVES!!!!!
