In the second game of the night Friday at the South Point Arena, Pacific (8-2) is getting clobbered by Princeton (9-1). It is 48-31 with 17 1/2 mintes left in the game.

[Da Coach]

Princeton has a whole team of great shooters, and they keep bombing away from three point distance.
Princeton now lead Pacific 73-45 in the battle of the Tigers, and they have made 15 out of 31 three pointers.

the three area we have been the most desperately in need of filling - and the same three areas we have talked about right here in this board since 2011 are

-point guard play
-outside shooting
-low post play
..and we saw tonight what happens when don't have any of that ...
we have not addressed our three biggest needs yet since Sam M., and Andrew Warren left
Even David Collins would help right now

New season starts tonight

It will be a completely worthless trip if we don't at least put up a fight.

I expect a much better effort tonight.
How about we try a press or something similar? I have been saying this all year. We have athleticism and enough bodies, and neither Portland nor Pacific has quick guards. It might be the one advantage we have.

It looks like this same link should work for the video stream for tonight's Bradley-Pacific game-

I wonder why the Bradley website, the game notes, and every release failed to mention that there would be a free video stream available for every one of the games in the South Point tournament? It is not as if it was a secret.
Every other one of the schools in the South Point Invitational (Pacific, Portland, Princeton, and even the Division II teams) have this information available to their fans on their websites with links to the free video streams.

[Da Coach]

Note the game at the South Point Invitational that was scheduled to start at 5:00 pm (CST) just started at 5:18 PM, so the Bradley game may start a few minutes later than 7:30 PM.

We will go to the game again tonight and then back to southern CA tomorrow. I did see the Bradley team yesterday morning and it looked like they were leaving the hotel dressed in uniforms. I assume they were headed for a practice site.

One good thing about the trip. We did not lose any money gambling but managed to leave some money in a couple of malls.

Looking forward to a better game tonight.

We always get more info here than on the Bradley website. Oh, for the good old days on the Hilltop.

Again I repeat it is the little things that make a good basketball program and conversley lack of the little things that run a program into the ground
