UWM 86 Bradley 74- stats

[BlackPantherUWM]

One last thing, and I don't want to be a pain in anyone's side, but this is something we've been trying to get out for years.

The athletic program is simply named the Milwaukee Panthers; so, if you would be so kind as to refer to us as Milwaukee from now on instead of UW-Milwaukee or Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Thanks Braves

The numbers that stand out from the stat sheet are; 1) our 3 point shooting is not good and 2) our big men only played at total of 65 minutes. DC had 14 minutes, AT had 7 minutes, TB had 13 minutes and TW had 31 minutes.

65 of 200 minutes went to our bigs. On and conventional team 120 minutes would go to bigs. If our outside shooters don't hit the 3 then we need to drive to the bucket. We did drive to the bucket in the second half but it sure would have helped to have some bigger guys in to draw defenders and clean up the misses.

The average height of our team had to be pretty short last night. Wish we would shoot better and go bigger when we dont shoot well.

We are fine w/ DC at 10 min a game, but Taylor and Anthony obviously need more minutes...I am fully convinced if both Taylor and Theron played around 25-27 min a game and Anthony played 15-17 and Sam Singh played 12-14 we'd play much better as a team...I also still feel Sam M.'s minutes need to be limited a bit more as his shots get flatter at the end of games and he tends to lose a step...

Either way, yes I do agree w/ the assessment on driving the ball more...Not only will we get more high % looks inside the arc, but by penetrating and moving the ball quicker we will get better and more open looks from the perimeter as well.

Just wanted to say to all you BU fans:

Thanks for coming up. It was amazing to see 200+ Bradley fans brave the storm to come see the Braves. I maintain that if I could model my fan base after a mid-major, your school would be at the top of my list.

I wasn't certain we'd win until Maniscalco fouled out. Say what you want about his numbers, but the guy always makes the smart, intuitive play. I use a play from late in the second half as an example: when the ball careened away from the rim on an odd bounce and was definitely going out of bounds, Maniscalco slapped it back to a teammate for a heads up play. He draws fouls when he needs to draw fouls, he hits the open man, and he rarely makes a bad pass.

Granted, I've only seen 3 of your games this year, so you'll know better than me, but I think any school in the country would be pleased to have a Sam Maniscalco on their team. Hell, he might be the kind of player UNC is missing this year.

Once again, your fans were excellent; I'm glad you guys came out to Goolsby's after the game, and I talked to a couple of board members here.

We shot the lights out in the first half, and down 21 is hard to come back from no matter who you are. And they almost did.

Take care, I'll be checking back every now and again to see how the season's going; don't be afraid to come by our board at www.gouwm.com

Good luck in the MVC. Go Braves!

I'm glad opposing fans can see what I've been trying to get across to people for a year and a half now...

I agree on all counts although I would give SS and DC more minutes than that.
Also driving to the basket gets fouls called. This gets the other team in foul trouble which has many benefits and more importantly gets us shooting free throws. Free throws are the most efficient way to add points. Even for a team with a 68% average at the line.

And we went 19 out of 40 minutes without anyone over 6'6" in the game.

We had a 6'10" kid who was a 3-star recruit not take off his warm-up in the 2nd half. That's just basketball stupid.
