Bradley vs. Portland game thread

[tornado]

I am listening to the pregame show and they just made about the 25th reference to Portland's frontcourt size -
they have just said even Wichita State would not match up and that Portland's size would dominate...

but...only one of their top six scorers is over 6-7 and only two over 6-5 - hey, they were outrebounded by UC-Davis...
They have one guy billed at 6-11 and two at 6-10 but it doesn't appear they play them together that much based on their minutes.
and 3 of their 4 tallest players don't spend any more time on the floor than our 6-11 guy Anthony Thompson did a couple years ago nor do any of them score any more than Thompson did
or even JP..... so I'd hardly fear that they are dominating.
I guess we are about to see.......

Dave Reynolds tweeted about the smell lingering from a previous equestrian show/rodeo - and Dave Snell also hinted at it..
but hey - we got guys from Texas - that shouldn't bother them....

[tornado]

early 4-0 lead for Braves!

[tornado]

failure to get the rebound leads to a 4-pt run for them so now 4-4

does anyone know the game is being streamed right here - free

this video stream is about 20 seconds ahead of Dave Snell's play-by-play so you can see it before you hear it on WMBD

BU down now 13-4 giving up the last 13 point - we have only 4 pts in the first 6.5 minutes

[Da Coach]

Bradley scored the first 4 points, but they are now down 13-4 as Portland has scored 13 straight.

[Da Coach]

The video stream is pretty closely synched to the WMBD broadcast for me.

bad passes, turnovers, poor shooting...what's new...
lucky we're not down >20 but it's presently 15-6 with 11.19 left 1st half

LOL ball just rolled off end of court and out the arena exit and took a minute or so to chase it down

[tornado]

Bell - nice end to end drive

[tornado]

BU back to within 17-13 with 7:59
wonder if anyone will hit 20 this half

[tornado]

3-pointer for Grier - now 19-18

[tornado]

just that fast it's 24-18 as we turn it over sloppily

Walt Lemon started but only played 4 minutes and then was benched after some sloppy play and has not returned

[tornado]

Yessssssssssss - finally - Darion Harris is playing point guard - betcha we score 1st trip

[tornado]

bingo - pass down low and we go to the FT line & score within 10 seconds after Darion Harris enters as PG!
