Is Rutter gaining traction to be retained as the replacement hire?

Unexpected Road win by the Redbirds, especially with the halftime deficit. Impressive.

So Northern Iowa is the worst team in the league this year I guess :huh:

Braves win 72-61.

Bradley fans gotta be pretty stoked with what Wardle is doing with this young roster so far.

I hope so, he has done an excellent job. Heck of a teacher and guys playing with a lot of confidence.

I think he is. It's amazing how much better this team is under Rutter than under Giacoletti (WSU game was far different than any other game since Rutter took over). Right now, I have far more faith in Rutter than I would in letting our AD pick another coach.

Bulldogs beat Indiana State by 17, and it really wasn't that close.....Bulldogs were up by as many as 26 with about 7-8 minutes left. And, I think Drake can still play quite a bit better than they did tonight.

Five guys in double figures, led by Arogundade with 15. CJ Rivers had 9 assists off the bench in 17 minutes.

I'm pulling for him to finish strong and get the job. From what few clips I've been able to watch, he seems like a quality guy and his players clearly love him. It would have been so easy for them to fold up the tent once Giacoletti left.

Could be a great story if he can find some success.

How Rutter isn't the leader for the job is beyond me. Drake is a different team with the same players. Maybe the two decommits will reconsider.

Ive always liked Arogundade as a player. Glad he is playing well. Happy for Drake fans.

Sycamores have to find another scorer.

Yes, UNI is without two starters but good win for Bradley. Other than the last four sloppy minutes the Bradley offense was good.

It helps that Luuk van Bree turned into a UNI player. 20 points and four threes. Best game hes ever played. Double double for Donte Thomas.

I know he had 15 points tonight but UNI fans I think Klint Carlson is doing opposing teams a favor by floating around the three point line every possession. Am I wrong?

I really, really hope Rutter can recruit.

Because he's the pure coach Sandy's getting.
