FINAL: Bradley 82 Central Michigan 65

[ph]

Nothing would lead me to believe that this team will magically begin to shoot better. They aren't in a slump, they just can't shoot. It's why I figured them for 12 wins this year.

while DSE is very inconsistent as a shooter (below average half of his games) Historically, DSE does get very hot for 5 games or so (25-35 point type games). Last year, it didn't matter because Walt and TB cooled off before DSE got hot. But if this years team can keep going with the base of 5 other guys about 10, getting hot might give us a few extra W's on a balanced team...although I can't really argue with the win total, yet.

But we CAN shoot better than what we've displayed so far. Walt, DSE, and JC have shot much worse than last year. We should expect them to raise their 3-point % from 20% to 35%-ish.
And Jake's 38% is a pleasant surprise. WE hopefully will continue to be around 40%, hitting 1 or 2 per game.

We NEED to start shooting at least 30% for the game to have a chance to win Valley games. I think this is more mental right now, and we will come out of it...not that we will begin to shoot lights out, but significantly better stats-wise.
