Think Sutherland will play? I do not see us winning this game.

Geno said no Sutherland during the post game interview. He said he would be surprised if Sutherland comes back before the Central Michigan game.

Here are the updated stats after three games for Texas A&M CC-

http://www.goislanders.com/sports/mbkb/2014-15/files/Overall.pdf

The notable stats that jump out are:
>They are not a good three point shooting team- just 26.3% as a team
>Their top scorer, John Jordan, a 5'10" senior point guard, averages 15.0 ppg, but he's taken just two 3-pointers in their 3 games and is 0-2
>Their 2nd and 3rd ranked scorers are a couple very big beefy forwards- 6'7", 230 lb. Bryce Douvier (14.7 ppg), and 6'7", 240 lb. Rashawn Thomas (11.0 ppg)
>Douvier (7.3 rpg) and Thomas (5.0 rpg) are their top 2 rebounders
>They also start another big forward- Dale Francis, a 6'8", 250 pounder, but he's only scored 1 basket all season- a three pointer (avg 1.0 ppg)
>Nobody on the team has made more than 3 three pointers, and they have made a total of just 10 in 3 games
>They have 30 steals in three games.. An average of 10 steals per game
>But they have turned the ball over a lot- 44 times in 3 games (14.7 per game)

When the injury was first mentioned it was believed to have just been a dislocated finger which occurred Oct. 23 - http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=24432
..good thing they didn't just tape it up and have him continue practicing because....

...Tramique then went the following Monday to a hand specialist and was diagnosed with a fracture and placed in a cast - http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread...ted#post298845

At that time it was said he'd be "off the floor 5-6 weeks" - so that would be December 1st-8th - so does it make sense to rush him back early?

“They are significantly the best team we’ve played so far,”

“They’re a great offensive team and will be hard to guard,”...
"I’m highly concerned about defending them.”

Bradley freshman forward Josh Cunningham won’t start because he missed Monday’s practice while attending his cousin’s funeral in Chicago
Ford listed Tramique Sutherland as doubtful

Looks pretty even.

I think were gonna make just enough 3's to get a W tonight!

Can the D continue to improve?

Rebounding? Will we show the potential I think we have?

[Da Coach]

Sutherland is not in uniform tonight, so he will not be playing.

[Da Coach]

Very small crowd.
