Thanks Chico. Someone pointed out to me that this video is also free on he BradleyBraves.com website. I just didn't scroll down far enough to initially find it.

Bradley seemed to score at will inside against a very porous CMU defense, and wins 82-65-

Stats-

Pickett 17
Prosser 17
DSE 14
Lemon 14
Eastman 12
Egolf 6
Crawford 2

Egolf with 10 rebounds, Pickett with 8
Jake was 2-4 from three- nobody else made one - BU overall just 2-13
Points in the paint- BU 66 CMU 24 !

That may be the most points in the paint I have seen a BU team in many years.

Bradley looked very good tonight. We had a lot of great passes to open men down low and our guys moved well without the ball to get open. This was the best we've probably looked in the Geno Ford era. Now, I'm not sure if that was of our making or the fact that the opponent was not that good. Either way, we still made several foolish mistakes and had some bad judgement plays. This just gives Geno more to work on in practice before the MVC season starts... That is, after all, why we play these kind of games.

[AZ BU Fan]

Well done BU... Winning the games you should win! And convincingly...home or away!

Go get some serious experience vs Michigan, and, play your game...team work, hard play, aggressive play, DEFENSE for 40 minutes and you'll have a victory with your fanbase here at BF.com, no matter what the final score.

This just gives Geno more to work on in practice before the MVC season starts... That is, after all, why we play these kind of games.

But it's still a convincing road win, and we have now officially surpassed our entire output of 1 road victory that we had all of last season. This gives me confidence that we should be able to at least steal a couple of wins on the road during the conference season. We probably should be able to get at least 4 or 5 home wins as well.

I don't know how good or bad we will look against Michigan this weekend, but regardless of the outcome, we need to continue beating the teams we should. And that in and of itself will show our fans that the team made an important step up this year.

Very fun game to watch! Loved the up-tempo play early in the game and we spaced out well in the half court. Nice ball movement and unselfish basketball.
Seems we have come ready to play in our road games this year, and we are being the aggressor and battlin for 40 minutes. I see a hunger on this team I haven't seen in a long time!
Biggest win in the GF era, and like B4L said, the best we've looked in the GF era.

[Gary the Gargoyle]

I didn't see that one coming. Great win boys!

[LittleBrave]

17 point win on the road, well done.

Glad we found, and are finding ways to score other than from behind the arc!
Can't believe we won by this much and shot that poorly fron the perimeter.
Great game plan by Geno and co.

It was funny listening to the CMU announcers on the video stream I watched. They were very good, but they kept pointing out that Bradley's "big men" were just too big and too physical, and that the CMU big men were just physically unable to defend them!

That is the first time in a long time I have heard anyone say our bigs were "too big" and "too physical" to defend. So kudos to Jordan and Tyshon! I don't know what got into them and the other guys to put up 66 points in the paint, but it came at a good time. Let's keep it up!
