Wofford 70-BU 66- postgame

[Dubl R 1]

The press in the last 2 minutes was very effective. Wofford had trouble inbounding the ball several times, and turned it over several times due to the press. But I agree that we would have trouble keeping it up for long stretches. But I would have liked to see a little more of it during the game to keep Wofford from setting up all those shots they drained.

That's what I mean DC, we needed to speed them up a little, and make them face our athleticism for the full 94 feet, plus Im sure this would wear them down a little too, plus we are at home, I like them wearing down b4 us.

Can't play any worse defense than the majority of his teammates and is capable of making a 3 once in awhile.

Sorry but he cannot guard anyone, his shooting at Carver is also not very good, I wish he could give us some minutes but he does not seem to be D-1 material which has hurt us as far as depth , hoping our coaching staff can develop a couple more players by January or we could be in for a long season as some of are guys are playing too many minutes.

Maybe he can't, maybe he can, but who else played great defense tonight? Who else has been good at shooting the 3s on this team?

Some of the concerns with this year's team were obvious tonight- poor perimeter shooting (4-17, 23.5%), and lack of inside depth (JP no baskets, SS no points, and -9 rebounding). Bradley made a valiant comeback to have a couple of chances to tie the game in the final minute, but couldn't get the shots to fall. Overall a very entertaining game. We really need to get a little more out of one or two of the freshmen and a little more from our bench players.

I read all the posts up to this point and the first one was the best! Spot on and I'll even will say with a little more depth we win because TB had no legs when he went up for that final shot. I'm not sure how we develop a bench and a shooter but if we do not it will be a very very long season.

BTW..I love the fight they put in and will continue supporting them as long as they play hard.

Go Braves!

I believe that there are going to be a lot of woulda, coulda, shoulda games this year. When you can't shoot from the perimeter, miss too many free throws, don't rebound consistently, and have occasional lapses on defense, you're going to get beat a lot. However, I feel like the effort from this team will keep them in games enough to perpetuate debate over which aspect of the game cost them victory. I don't have any confidence that the shooting will get better this year, because simply, there aren't any pure shooters on the roster. I also don't expect rebounding to be our forte very many nights. You can have 5 guys crash the boards, but when only one of them is ever over 6' 6", it's going to be a battle.

I agree with most of the posts.

Not sure why DS didn't see the floor at all

I hope SS doesn't get too down...he's looked really bad at times...like he's pressing for success and trying to do much....same as Walt at times

AT brought some spark tonight...if he could do that 4-5 minute spurt each half it help tremendously

We can't press for much of the game but 4-5 possessions each had might be nice when we have the quickness advantage...but only then

Hopefully that's JP's worse game of year....my goodness

Ft's were a problem....but they were for them as well....for a decent 3 pt shooting team they didn't shoot ft's well

Milos can only shoot when nobody is guarding him...so if we can play them in a game of horse I think you would see Milos

We looked tired....too many games in a short amount of time is going to be really tough for us this year.

Sorry I can't wait up any more, so here are the stats from the Rivals site-

Very good games by DSE, TB, and WL. SS had his 3rd game out of 4 that he does not score a basket. And JP's 0-8 night really hurt. We still are going to need to get more production out of some of the freshmen and other bench players.

Attendance 7,114

I think I would AT to your list...his spark there for 4-5 minutes really helped

Apologies to BP and the BU staff, but it has been well over 2 hours since the game ended, and the BU website still has not posted any statistics for the game. The Rivals/Yahoo stats were posted almost 2 hours ago. Why is there such a long delay in getting the stats posted, when they are available minutes after the game ends?

It has been well over 12 hours now and I'm still not seeing the boxscore on the Bradley website. I may be overlooking it, but the link isn't included in the postgame article as it usually is.

The stats and play-by-play can be accessed here, though it's not as user friendly as the standard box score-

To see the play-by-play, change the setting under the Wofford score.

Woods smothered Giltner ..

I'm not so sure Woods spent as much time guarding Giltner - as he was mainly hawking the ball handler Loesing -

I'm not comfortable using that because the play by play wasn't correct a couple games ago.

Was hoping the traditional box score would be posted somewhere on the Bradley site.

Thank you for typing exactly what I was thinking....agree with you on all points...

The final stats are now posted. There was a slight glitch -

Lefty, as made wide open 3's Wofford took, I thought we were playing a game of horse at times.
