More on the isu newcomers....
I just want to know what exactly a "closed public scrimmage" is.

It is the exact opposite of an "open private scrimmage".

One line from that story was interesting...
"The 6-7, 240-pound Lewis showed an ability to get inside and move opponents around in the scrimmage"
hmm..."move opponents around"??
--so pushing Blake Mishler around was pretty impressive, huh???
.......there was once a time when pushing and shoving was actually called as a foul...
Also...a review of the stats shows that in the 28 minutes of scrimmaging, the players took a total of 95 shots...that's a 136 shot-per-40 minute pace...
or roughly a shot by someone every 17 seconds for the entire 28 minutes!
so it looks like they're going to try to shoot and put up some numbers....but I wonder if that's what Coach Jank really wants....just gunning and launching within 17 seconds every offensive possession? (gotta recall that in an intrasquad scrimmage, 2/3 of the defenders are non-starters and 1/3 are such deep bench players and walk ons that it won't be the least bit representative of what they'll see when they actually face a D-I opponent - which of course doesn't actually happen until like late December!)
Of their returning guys, only Phillips, OE, and Dinma seemed to be playing well... and of course just about everyone agrees those guys are the likely starters unless someone gets a DUI.
But Rubin, the guy with the most returning experience among the rest was 0-6 in 24 minutes with one assist. (speaking of assists, King O managed to get one).
Of the rest of the experienced and returning players, Jeremy Robinson was 2-8 but Kellen Thornton did OK with 5-8 (10 pts)..
So who's gonna be Dinma's backup?? I'm going out on a limb and say the job is going to be split between Lewis, Thornton, Carmichael, and JRob (with two bigs in the game a lot of the time)...and whoever is most consistent will get the bigger minutes.
Austin Hill will probably get good minutes, especially given their shortage at PG.
I didn't see the scrimmage, but I can only surmise that Jon Ekey is the most likely R-S candidate...
he played 14 minutes and was 0-2, 1 pt, and his aforestated forte of blocking shots was not seen as he had 2 reb, no assists, and no blocks.
Overall, their minutes in the open/closed/public scrimmage went like this...
(per the box score)
Upshaw 28
A. Hill 25
Rubin 24
Lewis 24
Thornton 22
Phillips 21
Odiakosa 20
Eldridge 19
Terry Johnson 16
Ekey 14
Carmichael 13
Coates 11
Robinson 10+
Mishler 8
Trey Blue 27 minutes & 1 pt. (so why does a guy who isn't even going to play get so many scrimmage minutes?)Comment

Obsess much? That's a lot of analysis and effort to make the Birds look bad based off of an early season practice. I'm sure they are headed for a last place finish after skimming your report. Hope it was worth your time.

It was just an opinion so you can take it for what its worth and disregard it if you want.Originally posted by Heymoodwah View PostObsess much?

I don't understand why you people and yes i said YOU PEOPLE continue to care enough to come on this board just to make a statement like that.
If you're gonna come on here, as Jim Rome would say, have a take and don't suck! Obviously you don't have that part down yet...
At least give an explanation why he is wrong or what you determined from it...
Not just oh you're wrong, you're spending too much time assessing another team's value based on your opinion...blah blah blah...
Come strong or don't come at all

I'm sure Bradleys intrasquads probably look similar. Don't worry. We will settle this issue on the court soon enough.Comment

i think everyone is jonesing for some hoops at this point. i think both fans of both teams see potentially a good season for both. It's been too long since both teams were good at the same time. seems we finally have that nowDinma Odiakosa 6'8 255......The Nigerian Nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 37 points and 27 boards in 2 wins over Bradley.

I'm predicting another home split for the birds and braves this season. They'll be good ones.Comment

[QUOTE=Heymoodwah;144113 Plus, as Cooksey mentioned, well thought out posts with an opposing view don't last long on here, so it's not worth the time. I'll be surprised if you even get to read this.[/QUOTE]
That statement is absolutely not true. I rarely see an opposing teams point of view deleted. There is no hiding the fact if you decide to disparage anything to do with BU, then yes it will be deleted. It is not a mystery that this board is PRO BU. Often an opponents point of view is welcomed and often that person is welcomed to the board and asked questions.
But I will tell you if I went on to the ISU board and made a statement regarding a critique of a BU scrimage I am certain I would not be given the same courtesy you are given.. IE you were not cussed or told you were a fool etc. Go to the SIU board and say something anything about their program and see how you are treated.
This board is much more fair and allowing towards other teams then any other board run by individuals who support one program.Comment

Pretty certain you will never see a thread on RBF dedicated to a bradley intersquad scrimmage.Originally posted by houstontxbrave View PostDinma Odiakosa 6'8 255......The Nigerian Nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 37 points and 27 boards in 2 wins over Bradley.

If you are having trouble keeping your posts up on THIS site...a BRADLEY site...you might want to READ THE RULES FOR POSTING.
Here is a link: http://bradleyfans.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=11
I know its hard to understand...but rules are rules. Break 'em and pay the penalty (ie. deletion of your post).Comment

Fine then any critique of anything to do with ISU v BU or anything positive about Bradley or just negative about ISU..Originally posted by DannyCooksey View PostComment

Thats why this board has a TON more traffic than RBF...Interesting, timely conversation about MVC and, in particular, BRADLEY basketball.Originally posted by DannyCooksey View PostComment

Looks like some of the fans at isu disagree......since some of them have been saying for a couple weeks now that this is the year they sweep us. I can't wait to see if their team impresses me more than they did last year, when they were the mighty undefeated redbirds.Originally posted by Bradleyguy10 View Post???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again.
