Lewis Game

..they said the same stuff about Collins and Thompson.....

I don't think I have ever heard anyone say Collins & Thompson are the best, most intense, or effective players in practice....in fact, quite the opposite..they were kinda laid back..
but AT wasn't getting minutes anyway and Collins played but who'd have taken his minutes and done any better...
you just have to go with who's the best and I have to figure some of that's based on what's seen in practice

I know this was our 1st exb. in front of a crowd but not guarding the 3 point shooters has consistently hurt this team the last several years,

Our inside players need to score more or we will not get open looks for our 3 point shooters.

No reason why we cannot get 16 points a game out of the center position and 16 out of the 4 position.

Some of the wide open 3's are due to our out front guards getting beat off the dribble and the defense having to rotate, or, when BU defense tries to double team when ball goes inside and other teams move the ball back out to open shooters.

Hopefully AT, JP, WE can progress to the point where double teams inside aren't needed.

Was the lack of scoring inside due to poor shooting %, turnovers, poor rebounding/lack of putbacks, or lack of shot opportunities due to the offense not being set up to run through the low post enough?

I think BU settled for baseline jumpers and three-pointers (I'd have to see a shot chart to verify that). Bradley didn't attack the hoop very often and they don't have a guy that they can confidently dump the ball into the post regularly with good results right now.

I'm hoping that Bradley has some defenses that they didn't want to show. I don't remember seeing any zone until the freshman quartet played.

The only times I remember BU really attacking the hoop, were two SamM drives where he dumped out to AW for threes, one went in, and the other AW was fouled.

I didn't go but I will wait until the season gets started to get too excited or upset regarding games.....see you all there next Sunday.....that's when the season starts.

I honestly think EM will be better than some people and not as good as other people. LOL

How about before the game even started.....was that Intro video boring or what? I didnt mind the history video before it, but man, that second video about put me to sleep.

Did the Civic Center replace the video scoreboard this season? The one from last year had pretty poor video resolution..

That was the plan... Though I wasn't in attendance to confirm...

[Fyrebyrd]

No it hasn't...due to the economy it has been scheduled to be replaced next summer.

and the pregame video intro was nice, shorter, and to the point..I like it
