well today you are correct.....

WE.......19 mins...2 pts in the paint, 2 FTs and 1 rb
SS........22 mins...zero pts and 4 rbs
AT........12 mins...2 pts in the paint, 2 FTs and 1 rb


That should be the combined stats for one center in this MVC...(4 pts in the paint, 4 FTs and 6 rbs)

I only saw the last 5 minutes of the game. Minutes logged would indicate that there were at least two bigs on the floor together for at least 13 minutes of the game. How did the team perform at those times?

I would have liked to see AT get more minutes. Hopefully, we'll see more of him and less of SS as the season progresses.

Today WSU's BIGS were just too big and physical for any of the Braves to handle.....I would like to get another BIG player to help handle the inside...next season we lose our heaviest big in SS @ 240-245.....WE=220 and AT=211 with TB=205 and JP=220....next season we will still get pushed around unless something changes!

Couldn't agree more. You can't win in college basketball unless you can hold your own inside. Our one year of having solid inside play was our NCAA year. After that year, we have always played an undersized 5 and 4. Even in a year when we shot lights out from the arc, we only made the NIT. In Bradley's case, as with the the other MVC teams, you are not going to get the ready-for-prime-time high school players. Therefore, for Bradley to win games in the NCAA tournament, which is the objective I have for the program, you have to have a coaching staff that is highly competent developing big men.

I agree....we are not avg 11 3's a game anymore, but still recruit that way....I also don't think we are a "run-n-gun" team anymore so lets get some beef, an aircraft carrier to clog up the middle! The Valley is getting bigger and I think we should too!
