ST. LOUIS — At the tensest moment of Saturday’s Missouri Valley Conference semifinal for Bradley, the BU bench was anything but tense.
With 11:32 left in the game, Drake had just engineered a 10-point run and slashed the Braves’ 13-point lead to three.
“That’s when we were the calmest probably of the game,” said BU coach Brian Wardle. “We knew we had to come out and execute that next possession and buckle down defensively. We knew they were going to fight.”
As it turned out, it was the last gasp for the eighth-seeded Bulldogs, who were playing their third game in three days.
