A couple years ago a poster responded to a post of mine that was critical of the overall lack of success in Bradley sports programs.
I pointed out that losing was the norm for every Bradley sports program except soccer, and that no other program other than soccer has won a conference championship of any kind except the one softball tournament championship 5 years ago, though they finished low in the regular season standings that year, had a losing record, and were eliminated in the NCAA tournament their first game. The other poster ripped my post and claimed that all the sports were on the rise and doing well. Among those he claimed were doing well were the tennis teams.
Here we are, a couple years later, and we are still no closer to seeing any other championships, other than soccer, and the tennis teams are worse than ever.
I noticed this bleak report about the men's tennis team, who fell to 3-16 after another sweep this past weekend. They have lost 9 matches in a row, and 15 losses in their last 16 matches!-
The women's tennis team is not doing much better. They were beaten this past weekend by Omaha, and are now 4-12 on the season.
Both teams are winless in MVC conference play, and both have, by far, the worst records in the MVC.
Looks like all the new higher-paid coaches, and promises of competing for championships were more empty promises from this administration. Just like basketball.
