Cunningham back to Carver

[wily coyote]

Josh and Morgan Park just beat Pipkins and Chi. Bogan to earn a return trip back to Peoria. Everyone that comes to Carver this weekend needs to wear their Bradley clothes.

[Da Coach]

In Class 3A tonight-
Morgan Park will return to defend their Class 3A title last year with their 68-67 win over Bogan. Cunningham had 16 points and 14 rebounds for Morgan Park, and Lamont Walker (uncommitted) had 14 points. Pipkins had 24 for Bogan.

Another former BU recruit, Tyquon Greer, who was shot in the leg just 9 days ago, returned to playing tonight and hit the game winning 3-pointer with 3 seconds left in the game to help Chicago Orr win their supersectional over North Chicago and advance to Peoria for the Class 3A semifinals. Uncommitted big man Marlon Jones had 31 points for Orr.

Rockford Lutheran beat Peoria Notre Dame 71-60 in Class 3A. Shea Feehan, one of the best shooters in the state had 24 points for PND.

And Lincoln beat Cahokia 40-37 in the other 3A Supersectional.

So the 3A semifinals will feature Rockford Lutheran vs. Lincoln at 12:15 PM Friday, and Chicago Morgan Park vs. Chicago Orr at 2:00 PM Friday.

[Da Coach]

In Class 4A tonight-
Chicago Whitney Young beat Wilmette Loyola Academy 58-32.

Lisle Benet Academy beat Carol Stream Glenbard North 62-59.

Edwardsville HS beat Chicago heights Marian Catholic 65-60 in OT.

And Lincolnshire Stevenson beat Rockford Auburn 63-49.

So the Class 4A semifinal games in Peoria will feature Chicago Whitney Young vs. Lincolnshire Stevenson at 6:30 PM, and Edwardsville HS vs. Lisle Benet Academy at 8:15 PM.

DC, you mentioned former recruit when talking about Greer. I gather you think Bradley has stopped recruiting him?

[Da Coach]

For some reason, yes. I don't know the reason. He seems like he has the potential to be a good player,and is similar to Josh Cunningham, but it doesn't seem there is much recruiting activity being reported toward Greer from anyone recently.

Reports that Tom Crean making a big push to land Josh Cunningham
It was said that Morgan Park's Lamont Walker played great defense and that was the difference.

Cunningham ends up at BU and that would change my view of Bradley's future. I don't expect it to happen but if it did it could be the start of a turn around for BU basketball.

I agree 100% with this.

1st game of the day at Carver Arena...

Class 3A semi's
Lincoln defeats Rockford Lutheran 45-42 -
Lincoln will play for the State Championship TOMORROW night


Morgan Park leads Orr at half 24-15 - Orr flustered by the defensive pressure

[Da Coach]

Lincoln shot poorly and was outrebounded by Rockford Lutheran, but turnovers cost Lutheran the game.
Box score-

In the second game, both Morgan Park and Orr shot poorly and both teams tuned it over a lot. But Morgan Park held on for the 52-46 win.

http://ihsa.org/data/bkb/3box2.htm

I am not sure what Orr Head Coach Louis Adams meant, but his quote after the game was "It was nothing they did that made us lose. We got the shots we wanted, we got the spots we needed to get to. We just kept fighting each other. It's hard to fight each other and fight the other team."

turnovers & poor shot selection
