    Braves get defensive in win

      The flow of the game was awful. Nit picky officiating negated any chance at an offensive flow which hurt both teams.

      Bigs looked a lot better. There is hope.

        I thought this was by far our best game of the season so far. We had a lot better movement on both the defensive and offensive end. This was KDB's best game as a Bradley Brave and the light bulb must have went off in Morgan's head on offense as he took advantage of what the defense gave him. Still need to improve our rebounding by leaps and bounds. Need to go after the rebounds instead of reaching for them. TCU will kill us on the offensive boards if we don't get better in a hurry. Looking forward to spending 5 days in some sunny warm weather in Corpus Christie and see where we rank against better competition. Hope to see a few of you there.

          TCU is a good rebounding team . They have outrebounded their opponents so far by an average of 43.8 to 33.2- an enormous difference.
          They are also shooting 51.5% overall and 44.6% from three, and scoring an average of 86.0 ppg compared to Bradley's 61.5 ppg.

          Here is the stat comparison, and if Geno thought Texas A&M-CC was a "great offensive team", he may not have enough superlatives for TCU :
          ..........................TCU........Bradley
          Points per game.... 86.0....... 61.5
          FG %.................. .515....... .372
          Opponent FG%..... .344....... .395
          3-point %............ .446....... .357
          Opponent 3pt%..... .408....... .415
          Rebounds/game..... 43.8...... 33.2
          Opponent reb/gm... 29.3...... 38.2
          Assists/game......... 19.5...... 12.3
          Turnovers/game..... 11.5...... 12.8

          Hope you have great weather!

            our entire starting front court had just 7 rebounds (Morgan 2, Barnes, 3, Thomas 2) plus Shaw with 2 and Taylor with 1.
            How does their 5-10 guy outrebound all of them?

            but it's better to be 2-2 than 0-2...

              There were 8 fouls called in the first 4 and a half minutes.

                It was a ugly flow game but it was a win.

                  I was at the game and saw improvement in most areas I think Barnes adds leadership and the youngs are showing more confidence
                  Interesting what the other coach said as this being as physical as the Georgetown game which was about the same scroring differential as this one was
                  If Sutherland can add more flow from a true PG maybe this team will not be as disastrous as many feel
                  I try to look for positives rather than negatives and saw many last night. Granted just a start

                    Last night at the game, I thought we were watching a Coach Mo team with our defense. The Journal Star made that comparison. It was not pretty, but it was a win. I think Geno has realized that our team cannot win with an up tempo offense. We do not shoot the ball well. We actually improved our free throw percentage to 68% last night. There is some hope for the season, but we will struggle to stay out of Thursday in St Louis

                      As Chad Kleine said last night right after they won, "Coach Mo would have loved it!"

                        I was there. A win is a win! Geno must still be figuring out a rotation because no one stays in very long. It was kinda frustrating. You really can't tell who's impressive or not. I loved the defense though! Mo would be proud!!! Poorly officiated game. Didn't seem like the play was sloppy, just a lot of bad calls which turned into make up calls on the other end. Kinda strange!

                          but we have three players who are among the top nine in the MVC in minutes played - so much for depth and spreading the minutes around

                            probably because we were 2 starters short for over 50% of the season so far and
                            Add 2 freshmen to the mix which makes sense to me
