This was pointed out 8 days ago on the WSU game thread...
"By the way, SIU won tonight 68-66 over UNI, which leaves Bradley all alone in 10th place. "
Haven't seen any recent updates. Can someone fill me in where we stand now, and how that compares with where we were picked to finish? I'll hang up now and wait for the answers...
-the refs seemed to "protect" Seth Tuttle and game him a foul call just about every time he touched the ball, sent him to the FT line a bunch and nobody on BU even got anything close to similar. As many times as Walt was bumped and hammered driving to the hoop he got only a couple FT attempts
-I am sorry but I think the stat guys missed a few of Walt's nice passes and assists. they have him for 3 assists - and I am certain he had 3 in the first couple minutes of the game - and a few more after that.
-Wes Washpun trash talked a little to Walt - probably a little carryover from the 40 pt win they had at UNI - but by the end of the game Walt was giving it back to Washpun pretty good - personally I am not a fan of trash talking but this time Washpun had it coming.
-Att. 6585 but a lot of those seats were empty - they missed a good game...
The 4th call on X was unreal. I really thought he was playing great Def
yeah??¦..X picked a couple of dumb fouls too??¦..when he starts anticipating better and learning what he can and cannot do??¦.he will really be a force in the lane
That was fun. Walt heated up on a cold night. I thought my ears were going to fall of on the way out to my truck. Fun win. Hilight was jacobsons T and 3 ensuing possessions.
PEORIA, Ill. -- Walt Lemon, Jr. scored a game-high 28 points, including the go ahead hoop with 31 seconds left, lifting Bradley to a 69-65 win against Northern Iowa Wednesday night at Carver Arena.
2 wins in a row! So glad I was wrong. Not sure what game the refs were watching tonight as both teams got hosed a few times. The 12 fouls called against our centers were just a joke. Tuttle would be a 1st team All American if he had this crew every night. For the 2nd straight game we played much better in the 2nd half and in the guts of the game we made the key plays. Walt, when he plays like this, gives us a chance to win. Had some really good sequences on defense but we also had some "what was that?' sequences too. Overall another good effort from the guys. Need to be able to take it on the road Sunday as we play Evansville. Games at Evansville, Loyola, Drake, and SIU are winnable games and as long as we can go 2-2 in these games and win against all 4 of them at home, 2-0 so far, I think we can avoid playing on Thursday in St. Louis. Whether this team can do it or not remains to be seen.
Bradley wins - teams played about even - but the big difference - a bad call that led to a foot stomp by Ben Jacobson then a technical that turned out to be a 5-6 point swing in Bradley's favor...
the call in question was a bad call and Jacobson was maybe right to be ticked that refs missed a kicked ball but it goes our way and I am not too bothered by it as many calls as have gone against us this season.
As all long suffering BU fans can attest, foot stomping on the floor of Carver Arena will get MVC Head Coaches a T all the time!
It's about time the stomping was on the other foot, and BU fans finally get payback for all the vitriol MVC Officials gave JL while he was stomping the sidelines at Carver!
