That Ervin is a beast with the three!

Bradley 68 WVWC 60 with 1:31 left

BU 1-10 from three, WVWC 12-34

[battlebasset]

We don't have anyone that can hit the three. That is going to cost us against stronger teams.

It's too bad Walt doesn't have any help.

If WL gets injured this season, we are in trouble. Glad to see he is getting some bench. The rest of this team needs to score.

Told my dad the same thing on the drive home.....XT shows some promise though!

I saw what everyone else did, an unstoppable Walt, with a bunch of guys that are pretty much all the same. They will get better.

If what Geno said on the radio is true, both AB and OG are good 3 point shooters in practice. They struggled today, but if people leave them open, trying to guard Walt, they could shine. Now, I'm taking this with a grain of salt, as Eastman was apparently a good 3 point shooter in practice, and that never really translated on the court. I do like what I've seen out of some of the new guys (AB, OG, and XT spefically). I just can't wait until we start playing some better teams. Exhibitions can be fun, but I'd like to see what we do against better talent.

They are consistently the 2 best 3-point shooters in practices, even though they did not show it in the Bahamas (Barnes 25%, Grier 16%). In the 2 exhibitions, Barnes is 1-5 and Grier 4-11.
But they are not the strongest defensive players, which could hurt the team if they play big minutes.
As I predicted earlier, I do not think this team will be much different from three than Geno's first 2 teams (30.0% & 31.9%). We need to keep taking care of the ball, avoid turnovers, rebound better, and shoot a high percentage on our 2-point shots.

I wouldn't mind TP moving in from the three and hitting some jumpers, his shot was off today for sure!

Sorry to intrude. I was unable to listen to the game. (My wife and I had errands to run and the game starts at 11:00 AM on the west coast.)

In the past Bradley has retained game archives even of the audio games. I have always been able to find it but either it was not saved or it has been moved.

Can someone help me find it? When I go the subscription site and request the game archives for the men's team, it only lists games from last season.

Audio archives usually takes a day or so for the audio file to appear in the archives. However, I don't see the audio to the UIU game listed either. So I am not sure what happened with them. I might suggest you email Bobby Parker and ask where the audio file might be found, or maybe he'll come on here with an answer.

With the amount of new players we have..it will take some time...I like the team and think they will get better and better as we move on...

thinking there will some bumps early, but should be a fun season and entertaining to watch....
