I also thought the uni coach was very calm for his 1st Valley game!

Did Jacobsen play for UNI just last year? how is he a head coach already??

imo Braves had too many panic and frantic shots down the stretch. got to give credit to the panthers for stepping up when needed.

we had no answer for the center, Coleman. is this how we are going to stack up vs the big men in the valley??

IMO.........38 minutes for DR and JC is just way too-much! Did anyone hear why Aw did not play ........I don't see why he couldn't have guarded Travis Brown for some rest to the starter's? I think maybe SS injury is not fully ready for prime time...because last night would have been a good match-up for him on coleman...he would have done no -worse!

[Da Coach]

Matchup concerns were the reason Andrew Warren didn't play. Coach Les was upset most of the game with Zach. Apparently they had prepared some defensive and offensive schemes for the UNI game that he just didn't get done, so he sat a lot.

If you are going to play a 4 guard style, there will be some games like last night when the other team feasts on inside stuff. Give it to UNI, with the boost they got from their crowd, the tremendous volume generated in their small arena, good shooting and rebounding, it was a miracle Bradley wasn't blown out from start to finish. One more inside player (such as POB, Sikes, etc) could have made a huge diference.

The kids made an amazing comeback under tough circumstances. Jim said he was proud of them, and so am I.

Yeah, I watched the first few minutes and saw Bradley was losing by 10 pts early. Then I went to the airport to pick-up a friend. When I got back, I saw Bradley had narrowed the gap to 5. I was really impressed Bradley hung in there and almost came back. Just need to fine tune some things in my opinion.

ZA head is going to come and go in games, but I think the kid is going to be fine.
