We better get better point guard play or it will be a long year.

We lose a game because we were outmanned and the negative comments begin, I knew the 3rd game in a row was probably going to be a loss just because you cannot have 5 players play so many minutes, this is going to be a good team and it will be a great one if we can stay healthy. -
I thought the consensus was that between Sam M., Eddren, Dodie, and Dyricus, we were pretty well set at PG?
I don't know how Eddren's injury will affect him, but he has 3 months to recover now.Comment

I'm not worried about our guards at all. The 5 spot yes... but not the guardsBradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™Comment

The 3, 4 & 5 spots all worry me. Also, the 1 & 2 worry me because of defense (other teams shooting over their shortness). The 3 worries me because it will probably be played by a 1 or a 2. The 4 worries me because it will probably be played by a 2. The 5 worries me the least because I know Les is at least smart enough to play at least one big guy...Originally posted by Beninator View PostComment

I'm not worried about a loss to a Brazil pro team, considering almost half of our minutes are coming from walk ons LOL. This is some great game experience and video to bring back for the freshmen to look at and identify ways they can help eliminate team flaws.
Hopefully we hear 1 more good report for Thompson today and then he can hopefully play 5-10 minutes a game this season.

Not worried about any spot....
"What me worry?"
Guards are deep so we can go 3 guard lineup....
the 4 is TB and will be backed up fine by our youngsters...
The 5 is the only spot that has any ?????? in my humble opinion.......
Sam and Will need to be healthy...otherwise we play very young at the 5 with JP...
3 guards with TB and JP is a pretty good lineup..or
..maybe AT can contribute.....Peoria Toyota ScionComment

Just my opinion, and nothing personal, but the three guard lineup is what scares me. We get killed on the boards and defense with 3 guards. We may be ok if you are counting a healthy Warren as one of the guards because he has size, but if not, we will be awfully small... My freshman college intramural team was bigger (not as talented obviously, but we were pretty good as 2 guys walked on the next 3 years and I would have had it not been for a torn ACL) with the exception of the 5 spot.Originally posted by mrcoachdude View Post
The three guard line-up has gotten us nowhere. I am waiting for next year when we have more bigs and our current ones are more experienced. Then BU will break out of the pack. Sorry, but this year just seems like a warmup for next year... Which is ok, as I will go to the games, support the team by yelling, etc., this year just as I have for what it seems like decades and hoepfully they will surprise me.Comment

I do NOT like the 3 guard lineup either.....but if we need it....we have depth that can handle it......Peoria Toyota ScionComment

I've had these exact thoughts. If they surprise me then they surprise me but I'm expecting a 5th place finish and wouldn't really be too terribly upset by it. I see potential to be better, but Bradley for some reason or another in recent years hasn't exactly overachieved; usually due to key injuries.Originally posted by georgethedog View PostComment

we are NOT shallow at any spot relative to the other Valley teams.
I point to this post from a week ago....
showing Bradley has NINE players returning with experience, MORE THAN any other Valley team!
Plus our newcomers might be as ready as anyone else's as well!

When A.Warren starts playing again it should move Maniscalco back to the point guard position along with McCain plus Dunson could play it if needed, Prosser will see minutes at the center position and hopefully Egolf will get healthy and contribute , the way T.Brown and C.Roberts are playing I would think that they will be starting and seeing a lot of minutes, Edwards, Milos and Eastman will have a harder time getting on the floor because of the experience in front of them. Hopefully A.Thompson has become more determined to play and can also contribute this season. This team has size, quickness , some very good defensive players , like I said previously we only need to stay healthy in order to have a very good year.Comment

some time during Friday's game, and nothing was said as to how, but I suspect contact similar to how Andrew Warren hurt his hand and Trevor Trimpe's injury.Comment
