Final: Bradley 66 Southern Illinois 60

[Da Coach]

Just to clarify my point Da Coach let me be clear that I was not calling you out. Rather, I used your post to illustrate my point that many did not expect Bradley to be 2-0 in the MVC standings at this point. I think you illustrated your view exceptionally well; I hope, however, that we can pick up another road win before the season's over. I think there are several places - Drake, MSU, EU - where this might happen.

I am starting to think we can. We have played better team ball, and with the exception of the VA Tech game, haven't turned it over much. Our weak points are pretty much what we all thought they would be- outside shooting, and interior depth.
I was just trying to put things into perspective with my posts- we have had a good season so far, but the real measure of improvement and success is not in beating lowly opponents we are supposed to beat, but in beating teams we aren't supposed to beat. The real test, and opportunity starts Sunday.

I have also said since way last spring that we would have the talent, experience, and the real possibility to finish above half the Valley this season...
That is in part because we have three guys in the low post (our weakest area) who were not available last season, and the softness of the bottom half of the Valley.
