Now all the stat feeds, including ESPN's, are frozen.

Lots of teams besides us are experiencing attendance woes--looks like more empty seats than occupied seats lower bowl mid court at Memphis (on a Sat night)--and upper bowl has lots of vacancy

disgrace

This is a disgrace! This coach should be fired now!!!

sad

I'm sorry!! I can't watch this anymore.......

This is the 1st game I have seen this year and wow, they are bad. I graduated in 1999 and saw some good basketball when I was there. This is not even close to good basketball. I have seen better offensive sets down at the local YMCA. What happened to getting the Zobrist and like players those that can shoot and actually know how to play the game.

Funny story I was at our off campus fraternity house before Bradley played Villanova back in 1996? and asked a couple of the players who was going to guard Kerry Kittles and Deion jackson said he was. I looked at him and said "good luck with that" I was a little drunk at the time. They ended up playing them tough.

It isn't pretty. We are being outplayed in every aspect.

[tornado]

as expected - they watched the tape - so they put just a little defense on Warren Jones and he hasn't hit a thing- has 1 pt

Memphis 34 - BU 20 - we're shooting just 26% and have a ton of turnovers
We should be much better than this is year-four, I know it's Memphis but remember they are a 230+ RPI team

Southerland

IMO Southerland will make zero difference..

[bstall]

Memphis is not that good, but Bradley really is that bad to make Memphis look good.

[tornado]

Memphis up 53-40 with under 7 min to go

[tornado]

now 58-40 - we gotta get better shooters we're gonna be in the 30's if we play a good defensive team

edit down 60-40 - under 5 min to go BU will go to 3-5 - and this extends the streak of losses south of the Ohio River

[tornado]

our guys have thrown in the white flag - quit...
getting murdered now...70-42

can't believe Dave Snell is still making excuses about Tramique being injured - that he'd have made a difference....
please....there's absolutely no excuse to get caught without a viable option at point guard IN YEAR FOUR!!
Four years he's had to get a PG and failed- guys like Remy Abell, Donivine Stewart ...already signed and in the fold, we waste scholarships on single digit scorer juco big men and transfer PG's who the coach feels do not even deserve to play in this turnover fiasco...

[bula-bloom]

Shooters won't help. ..a honest to goodness college level coaching staff with some offensive schemes will be a start. ..right now we have a decent high school coach.

[Da Coach]

Not much to say that we haven't said many times before- poor offense, poor defense, poor coaching, bad shooting, too many turnovers, poorly prepared for the Memphis pressure....and another embarrassing blowout loss for the country to witness.

Final score-
Memphis 73 Bradley 45

This is the 15th time in barely more than 3 seasons that Bradley has been blown out by 20 or more points. Recall that in year 4 of the last coach, we played a far better Memphis team in the Sweet 16, and played them a whole lot tougher than we played this mediocre Memphis team tonight. What does that say about the progress of this current program in year 4?
