Bu 71 pc 58

[jasonpeoria911]

The box score doesn't say anything about this game. Bradley could of ran up the score if they wanted to. I counted at least 10-15 open shots a player could of taken but no point in blowing these guys out. BU was playing pretty soft on both ends, I think if this was a decent opponent, they would of showed double the intensity. It's tough to really stay focused when you know you have the win in the bag.

NO MOVING SCREENS FOR LAST 2 GAMES!!!!!

Milos displaying his long range tonight. I was kind of iffy with him playing much after how he played the first couple games but he looked great tonight. He's getting more confident with each passing game. This team is loaded with players that can nail down the outside shot.

Brown, well not much to say. Seems like every shot he throws up will go in. Offense, Defense, it's all their. I would say he's slightly better than Theron right now.

Biggest thing that needs working on right now is the perimeter D. Giving up to many open shots, that will kill us against OK State and maybe IL.

Jason I agree...but the outside "D" wasn't all that bad..they made some crazy shots with a hand in their face....

Also like how MK got called for the push on "D" I applauded the foul...GET TOUGHER!

[SFP]

Oh, and nice picture SFP. Maybe they would like a ride in my Viper?

Sorry George, they'd be in my Limo. BTW those girls are going soon so enjoy them now. They were posted for StLouis! He said 99% of the guys do not really look at girls at games. I guess I'm that 1%!

Oh on the game, It's in which JL can teach the guys. Plenty of material there. We lost our energy in the 2nd 1/2 and basketball is a sport that is hard to be on and off. I also would like to see JL set up plays for AW early. He needs to touch the ball early and get into from the beginning of the game. Also he should be shooting those open shots regardless of clock used. I'd rather have him shoot the 3 out of any starter even if covered. Think Curry!

Did anyone notice the incessant flash bulb going off throughout the entire game. I literally have a huge headache now because every three seconds the flash bulbs up in the light truss would go off.

Clunky 2nd half, but it's a win.

Didn't see any flash bulbs going off, but that couldn't be more irritating than the constant chatter by the PA announcer during timeouts.

Yes they made some tough shots tonight, but i'm talking against Wofford also. When BU was getting slaughtered by the back door passes, they changed up the D but then the perimeter D went to the dumpsters. That is when I noticed a lot more open perimeter shots developing. I guess you could say that the odds are less but you could also get blown out very fast.

What are those flash bulb things anyways? I see them go off occasionally during the game.

Ahhhh, c'mon Chico. Tune it out. Thicken the skin and blow it off.

Other than taking the air out of the ball and being a bit sloppy in the 2nd half, we did what we needed to do. The outcome was never in jeopardy and we got our guys rest. 4 games in 7 days guys...big picture here. The bench is going to shorten up quite a bit Friday and Saturday. 3-1 is all that matters. Bring on the Cowboys!

Gladly. Just sticking up for the band.

I think JL said it himself after the game. The early part of the season is to find out which combinations work, having the right subsitution pattern, and feed the newcomers to the fire to see what they are made of. What we have found out so far after 4 games:

1. TB has got game.
2. AW and WE are getting back into the swing of things.
3. EM and SM struggling with their shot but doing everything else well. I did find it interesting the SM started over EM. As long as EM sturggles continue with his shot he'll be coming off the bench.
4. We have a bad pattern of doubling down, leaving guys open for a wide open 3. So far no one had taken advantage of that.
5. The freshmen have got game. Milos showed what kind of shooter he is and DSE is a tough hard nosed ball player. Both need to improve their defense if JL is going to give them more minutes.

We're definately a work in progress that will get a severe test against OK ST on Friday and whoever we play on Saturday. We will certainly need a more complete game to have a chance to win.

Maybe those points were hidden in the quick change illusion?

Those are strobe flash lights place in locations high above the floor. Many stadiums have them. All photographers covering the game must wire into the strobes at the stadium and are not allowed to use their own. So when they flash, it's because some photographer is taking a picture. They do it that way so that there aren't flashes coming from the floor level, and from multiple directions at once that would bother the players.

BTW- did anyone else notice the officials much?
That's my point, no I didn't notice them last night, nor Sunday night much at all. That's the way it should be. I thought they did a very good job both games. When you don't notice officials much, it usually means they called the game fairly, evenly, and weren't callling too many fouls/violations.
The officials last night were: Jeff Nichols, Jeff Wagner, Alvin Cox. On Sunday they were: Steve Coleman, Dan Stryffeler, Louie Andrakakos.
Don't recognize the names? It's because they were assigned by the tournament people, and are not officials who usually do Bradley or MVC games. What a refreshing change to get officials who don't feel they need to become the main attraction and dominate a game with their whistles like the usual MVC ref.

Yeah...kinda like the "local rag". Thicken the skin and blow it off.
