Bukky is playing HORRIBLY. It’s like he doesn’t want to be out there. ---

You’d think the conference would have told them the tourney implications… I’m joking ---

One of them is Tony Padilla, who has been around forever. Folks have strong opinions about him in both directions. ---

I just googled him. You’re being kind. ---

Don’t think I’ve ever been so relieved for a Bronco win. Not happy, excited…..just relieved. Now take it to the Gaels. Defensive rebounding is going to need to be better. ---

Saved some points the last ten minutes for tomorrow. ---

Got it done. Proud of the guys. I am not suggesting changing the starting 5 but I have Graves ready to go at the 19:30 mark if we get down 2-0 and don’t score on the first possession. Cannot dig a hole against SMC. ---

Feels like pressure is off this team for tomorrow and they can play a bit more relaxed. Tomorrow’s game is no longer the biggest in 30 years. Could tell they knew the moment was big and they just needed to weathered the storm tonight. AND THEY DID. I’m sure there have been bigger snubs in years past…but I’m going to be pissed if we don’t make it (regardless of a loss tomorrow). But let’s go fuck up the Gaels… Go Broncos! ---

Totally agree with BroncoBob. My buddy and I had an in game watch going to see if Bukky would have 2 fouls by the 17:00 mark. Fortunately, he did not, but this was clearly one of his least productive games. Things got a little dicey until the flurry of 3’s opened things up. On to the Gaels. Talked to some Zag fans, and they are tired of playing SMC. If they get off their hands, we might have a crowd on our side, except they will leave by halftime. Go Broncos!
