Braves Fall to Quincy 86-80

Even without Sammy and TB I thought BU should have won this game. Looks like the Braves have alot of work to do.

H-LL yes we should win without SM and TB. WE had 9 D1(???) players on the floor and Quincy is a nice program but in reality THEY are a D11 team. NO EXCUSES. That was a sorry example of a D1 team. 2:30 Friday is starting to look good now.

[real fan]

Once again we lose to a d-2 school, different asst. coaches but same bad principles on defense, leave the 3 point shooters wide open on defense, Egolf committing stupid fouls away from the basket, Sticks really not any better, should I go on as this was another huge embarassment to the Bradley program, until Les lets his asst. coaches change some things we will never reach our potential as he just does not seem to get it as far as having his team prepared to play real defense and quit scrambling around.

Your Braley Braves!!!

(We sure do not have any 'D')

Listened to it on the radio. Sounded SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO familiar. Thought we'd lose this game with about 36 minutes left. Too bad I was right.

INEXCUSABLE!

No TEAM concepts on the floor at all! Is it asking too much to go down the court and pass the ball and get movement on our sets and NOT PLAY STREETBALL!

Jake Eastman's defense tonight was abysmal!

AT is what I was afraid he is and that is a fill in player at best!

Note to Walter Lemon-- you are a slasher---no three balls until you completely rework your shot! WL has the potential to be a very good player for us!

After the red/white scrimmage I stated that Jordan Prosser should be in the starting lineup and tonight is further proof that JP is a starter!

Note to BU---please do not ask these ref's back for future events. I am not blaming the ref's for tonight's loss, but that has to be one of the worst officiating crews that I have ever seen.

Good night!

They get to the line 41 times. 31 times in the second half.

BU gets there 26 times but only 9 times in the second half.

86 points. The attention to defense apparently isnt so important. Anything can happen on a basketball court, but come on it is not hard to see the program is not addressing what is the biggest issue team defense.

But for me what is even worse is that the outboarded us on the offensive boards and we were even for the night overall. If you are making rebounding and defense a prioriety then you do not give up 86 points and you do not split on the boards.

One team was the aggressor and one wasnt. Its been this way for quite awhile not just this evening.

I posted this on the other thread...

non givens whats up and what I am looking at:

1. WE...hearing he is vastly improved and despite this ankle issue..should be solid

Will looked ok, and he and JP looked for each other well...fouls killed him...

2. JP...if you pay attention to anything i have written about him..he is a special player for me..and I think he will be a TON...but again this is not a given

Agree with Ben JP looks like a starter..

3. AT....heard he is playing bigger and touger...it was difficult vs JP so lets see what he has vs Quincy

Not good

4. TB...the biggest concern I have...can he focus and play to his potential...
