-HOME ATTENDANCE that kept Bradley ranked in the TOP 40-50's in ALL of Division I - considerably better than many BIG STATE schools and BCS schools. (now we're falling out of the top 100!)
-MOST post-season wins in a 4-year span
-multiple NBA & top pro (European) players produced
-League leaders, multiple All Conference, and even NATIONAL statistical leaders in that era...
-All this and MORE - in the preceding five seasons - then the JG/MC/GF era kicked in and it went poof.
