Another blood bath pending...

[Da Coach]

Looks like Bradley did not return to Peoria after the late Saturday game in Memphis. They traveled directly to Manhattan, Kansas, and they practiced in the K-State campus arena tonight.

not likely to have Tramique..

His injury happened Oct. 24, and at first was diagnosed as a dislocation, and it was said that he was expected to be 100% in a few weeks.

Then four days later it was diagnosed as a fracture and then he was said to be out until early December, or 4-6 weeks...then 5-6 weeks, possibly back for the games in Corpus Christi (Nov. 28 & 29).

Now we are well into the 7th week since the injury and it looks now like he will not play until at least the Eureka game (Dec. 18 ), eight full weeks from the injury.

Gotta be frustrating for Tramique.


BTW - if it's fair to look past this game to the next one, we will be playing Eureka and ought to pick up a solid win,
as Eureka isn't even a very strong DIII team,
They are 2-3 with a 30-pt loss to EIU. But - gotta wonder - save for the location (we're actually playing them at Carver Arena)
is this game a look into the not-so-distant future of Bradley basketball thanks to the decisions of the past 4-5 years by our admin?

Sounds like this team has much better pressure on the ball handler than Memphis... So we had better figure out something quick, or we will be more than humiliated. I wonder how X will do against them... I am sure they will be able to draw fouls off of him easily.

The Vegas opening lines were Kansas State favored by either 18 or 19 points.
As of this post, the line had moved slightly lower (17-18 points depending on which book)-

I hope for a nice effort. Which they have been giving, and no matter what, the Memphis beating will make us better, same with tonight, if we happen to get knocked around again.

BU takes the lead 16-13... In other news the WatchESPN feed I'm 'chromecasting' to my TV is excellent, very close to TV quality. The MVC should do every thing it can to get as many games as possible on ESPN3/WatchESPN App.
