With Ruffin in apparent trouble with the law and his future with the Braves in doubt, what will Bradley do to finish out the season?

	Fold up like a lawn chair
	Win MVC tourney
	NCAA at-large
	NIT here we come

	Hopefully, like the past 2 games, JC can step up and play an all around great game (instead of just the perimeter). If this happens, BU has a chance to do well for the last 2 games of the season, and in the Tourney. During the Bracket-Buster game, Maniscalco and Cole-Scott also stepped up big. Ruffin is the teams leader and it is hard to rally a good game when all season you have been trained with him at the helm. They did get some practice with that early on....and failed to come up with a good system to win. Hopefully now that the team is more experienced, and players stepping up....we should be pretty good....I am thinking another NIT bid this year assuming we can win the first game of the tourney and win the last 2 reg season games

	the human in me says that i hope that he really didn't do anything and this won't hurt him or his team in the long run. The basketball fan in me says that BU plays CU on Saturday and then more than likely in the 4-5 game in St Louis so i hope the investigation goes long enough for those two games to be over and him not to play

	We saw tonight that this is definitely not the same team without Ruffin. If he comes back for the MVC tourney they can win it, especially since I don't think SIU can beat Bradley at full strength a 3rd time in a season since they did not have to face Ruffin in both games. The problem is that as a 5 seed they will have to play Creighton in the 1st round so that means 3 tough games so the loss tonight hurt. They can do it with Ruffin. Without him they have no chance & we're heading to the NIT.

	Without Ruffin, the Braves cannot compete well enough to get into the NCAA tourney. I think the Braves will be lucky if they can get into the NIT. They need to get Warren back and play really good with him and they may have a chance to win the MVC tourney. That is the only chance now that the Braves have of getting into the NCAA tourney.

	Ruffin is back! This makes the MVC Tournament much more interesting now. Look forward to the game on Saturday Vs. Creighton, then the trip to St. Louis for the Tourney!!

	With Ruffin, I think this is the best team in the MVC. But they will have a tough road through St. Louis as a 4 or 5 seed. Hope they play drake in the semi's. Think they could knock them off again.
