I haven't read a single post in this thread, so I am speaking purely out of what I hear and see at the games. People can b-tch and moan about bad shooting, 'the weave', Collins, or whatever. But it doesn't mean anything if the team doesn't play even grade-school level defense. I am tired of hearing 'Defense is our calling card', 'We hang our hat on defense'...blah blah blah shut up. No you don't. Stop giving it lip service. I have no doubt that this team can play defense when it wants to, and when it's taught to. They showed that the first half against MSU. They then showed in the subsequent 3 halves that their fundamentals on defense are awful and that their effort is sporadic at best. I can accept bad possessions, I can accept bad shooting, and I can accept freshman mistakes. I can't accept bad fundamentals and poor effort. We've got a heavy dose of both lately from our Braves.
Amen to that brother
There is no team in the the MVC that can match up to us the whole game, if our bigs come to play! BU will win the the MVC this year!
Coupe quick things....we MUST start Singh this Sunday!
Also, does anyone know who the two recruits were sitting behind the Bradley bench. They were shown on the scoreboard at one point and I thought one of them looked a lot like Donivine Stewart.
I have spotted Donivine at every home game (including the exhibitions) except ETSU but I wouldn't doubt he was there too.
ZONE AGAINST BUTLER?????????? They have always been a very solid 3 point shooting team, unfortunately Jimmy boy is to stubborn to just stick to man they killed us on 3s every time we went zone whether it 2-3 or 1-3-1.
The weave, we need to cut it to get to the basket (more explanation in "the weave" thread)
We NEVER attack the basket ever. Dodie gets a layup in the first 5 seconds of the 2nd half and Butler calls a timeout because it was such a rarity in the first half and it became a rarity the rest of the game after that time out.
They out hustled to everything besides Therons little and 1 he had.
Dont get me started on Free-Throws (why even get put into the bonus with 10 minutes left?)
Sam Maniscalco please get more aggresive and shoot the ball. How many times do you have to make the extra pass and get a tally in the TO column of your stats before you just shoot the freakin thing.
When TW shoots a 3 we have 1 rebounder and if DC is in the game then we have 0 rebounders, so TW please dont shoot the 3 cause i think 1-5 (4-15 or 27% on the year) doesnt qualify you to launch when you get it out there.
Something needs to happen with this team, I think they believe they are alot better then they really are, I dont get where they think this when they lost to a DIII team in the pre-season.
Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Maybe it's because they play Bradley everyday in practice?

Just got back from the game.
Butler 87
Bradley 75
Not much to say about it- Butler shot the three better than I have ever seen a visiting team shoot it at Carver. They were 13-27 from three, and 29-54 overall. Any time a team can score 87 points on 54 shots on the road, they are going to win.
And they didn't just have 1 or 2 three point threats. They had 3 or 4 guys on the floor at any time that could drill the three.
Bradley had some struggles scoring at times, but there were some good things tonight, too. I didn't think the defense was that bad, but Butler would make the shots when they needed to.
We really miss Andrew Warren and Will Egolf. I hope we can learn from this game. Butler will win the Horizon easily, and if they can shoot like they did tonight, they can go a lot farther.
You musta missed the Tim Parker/Chattanooga game several years ago. Only this time we let an absolute pipsqueak make essentially the difference in the result.
Oh how some miss Slow-Mo and falling asleep at Church while the Rev gave his sermon.
I didn't like him at all either, but I feel some deja vu from the comments I heard tonight from our current coach as well as all of the things that have been going on since year 1 to now.
Bygones are bygones. Now it's merely entertainment.
What if Mo beats UMKC?
That's schadenfreude. You, my friend, are a schadenfreude. It's ok - I am too. Just I get my kicks on other things - you get yours on Bradley-under-Les-Failures.

We agree. (I'm right)
