Hershey also provided a memorable game when Drake hit a bucket with less than 2 seconds left to go up one. We allowed Hershey to go Christian Laetner (sp?) on us before Christian ever did it.

Yeah, I remember that one. I think it was Glenn Martin who scored to put DU up with 2 seconds to go. Bradley called a timeout, and for whatever reason, Gary Garner decided not to put a defender on the guy throwing the inbounds pass. The pass was thrown about 70 feet to Hawkins who turned and shot in one motion.....nothing but net.

I think Jim Les was the guy who threw the inbounds pass.

The ranked Bradley Braves however couldn't stop the onslaught of Shocker layup drills that day. That was fun basketball.

I don't remember the final score, but something in the 105-87 range I think. Hawkins was inflippincredible. He hit more off balance, guarded, man in your face hanging on your nutsack fade away 30 footers in 1 half than college basketball in the 2000s.

That was #18 Bradley losing 116-92. Hawkins was awesome the first half then Fogler and the boys threw a blanket on him like I've never seen before or since. He ended up with 36, but the Shox executed some flawless offense as a team for a big win.

Do any Drake or Bradley fans remember this game?

It was in the 80's and was a first round game when the MVC tournament was at the schools. This game was at Vet's Auditorioum.

The teams had been introduced and initial jump ball had not occured and there was an altercation in getting ready for the jump ball between Terry Youngbauer and a guard from Bradley. Both were ejected before the game started. The guard from Bradley (I don't recall his name), was very agressive and gave the Bulldogs trouble at every meeting. I remember Versace was furious. It really set a competitive tone for the rest of the game, as if it wasn't already.

2006 mvc title game vs bradley...kept siu's streak alive, was also my first arch madness game, game the siu cheerleader fell then cheered as she was carted off. Was friends with an siu player and took alot of notes for him when he was gone for games, he gave me a portion of the net to thank me.

2005 vs sms- ejections, and a banked in 3 pointer from josh warren what more could you ask for

espn game day vs cu- great day from drinking in the parking lot before gameday, the gameday show, erin andrews, oh and a great game. Probably the last great moment for siu for now hasn't really been anything like it since. we need to get back to this.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06FDlOWT_ig

I think it was one of the Ruffin brothers for Bradley. I vaguely remember the fight, but didn't remember that it was before tipoff.

Any game featuring Voicy Winters, Slab Jones and/or Jamie Pena.

To all:

Great thread! This is my first post here. I happen to collect old Bradley games on VHS/DVD, and if there are any other crazy people here like me that have old games, specifically ones including Bradley. I would love to make contact. PM me. Thanks!
