VERY difficult to watch this. Embarrassing. Shaw is totally dismissing Geno as a coach. His minutes will dwindle when Morgan returns.

21 points in the 1st half (with 41 sec to go)
how do we get to year four with Geno and he's apparently not interested in recruiting anyone who can score...
There were a few guys on Augustana who would have killed for a scholarship offer - who were better scorers than what we have
Jimmy Gavin & Donivine are better offensive players than anything we offer!
Then all the hype and all the minutes Xzavier Taylor gets - he's got 2 pts, 1 reb, 3 fouls, 2 turnovers
I am ready for Jackson Kane and Nate Wells...
edit - halftime score 37-23Comment

Bradley down 37-23 at halftime...Bradley is having a big problem with Loyola's zone defense, and only 1-9 from three, and not getting to the free throw line (0-0). Bradley also with 9 turnovers to Loyola's 4.
Cunningham has 6 points & 7 rebounds, but again, the other big men are virtually invisible-
Xzavier Taylor- 2 points, 1 rebound, 3 fouls
Mike Shaw- 0 points, 2 rebounds
Donte Thomas- 0 points, 0 reboundsComment

How poor of a showing do we need to have in the MVC for the funding to come available to buy Geno out? When Glasser wanted JL out four years ago, the financial buy-out didn't seem to be an issue. I thought that it was fiscally irresponsible back then to release JL with three years remaining on his contract - Glasser would have you believe that our finances would improve without him - but that certainly didn't happen. I can't believe that the long-standing financial supporters of Bradley athletics will tolerate this much longer. This is REALLY bad basketball. The game Sunday against UIC was painful to watch ( and we won). The Ford experiment did not work, and will not work. It's time to make a change. I don't think we will do much better than 4-14 in the league this year.Comment

what Da Coach said about the hypes and touted BU defense being so good....certain was true & on display..
we have only looked good on defense cuz we've been playing miserable teams that do NO GOOD getting us ready for Valley play...
Loyola is shooting 50% overall - better than their season average
They are shooting 60% from the arc - way better than they have been doing
and they are getting wide open shots again and again -
even the most uninformed observer can clearly see we do NOT play good defense...Donte Thomas, Omari Grier, Anthony Fields, Xzavier Taylor, and Tramique all play poor defense & have a long way to go defensivelyComment

The majority already have withdrawn their support or plan not to renew when their current commitment ends. That is a big part of why Bradley is losing so much money on athletics. Most schools would have recognized this problem long before now and made changes. But Bradley has people running it who have their reputations on the line and they aren't about to admit failure, even when it is obvious to everyone. Thus we get people like the Board Chairman sending out replies to letters with delusional claims that we have unprecedented success.Originally posted by BU FAMILY View PostComment

we are not out of this game - there's over 18 minutes left!!!
Why are we (Cunningham) jacking up a three early in the shot clock??
Got to get stops!!! Feed the post, get some whistles, go to the FT line...
Please bench Omari
PS- we have ZERO bench pointsComment
-
good high screen that freed up Tramique for a drive - now nail the FT
btw - their Gentile Center is largely empty, hollow sounding, and looks bad on TV with so many empty seats....
Memo to Dr. Cross & Geno - this is exactly what we're in for if you move the games to our similar sized arena on campus...Comment

Josh is shooting barely over 20% from three. Don't our coaches have these stats?Originally posted by tornado View Post

in the words of Dennis Green
they (Bradley) are who we thought they are....
bad shooters, weak defense, turnovers, poor decisions, and unable to hang with the teams picked at the bottom of the ValleyComment

that last possesion was classic...dribble & juke for 30 seconds then jack up a wild airball that almost gave someone a concussion!!Comment
-
kudos to Josh Cunningham - he is working to become one of our better offensive options......and we do NOT have a go-to guy....Comment

But according to Kirk and Dave, Jones, Sutherland, and Barnes are all "go-to guys".Originally posted by tornado View Post
The score now is 63-45...officially another in the long list of blowouts we have had under Geno. This staff simply has no clue how to compete, even with the team picked 10th in the Valley.Comment

Coach Ford needs to go! He has had 4 years to get his players in here and his system. Losing by 18 to Loyola?? Losing to Augustana?? Come on man! Please bring pride and excitement back to Bradley.Comment

Final:
Loyola 64 Bradley 49
Another embarrassing loss, and another game where I could not see any trace of preparation or coaching from our staff. We continue to be the most predictable and worst road team I have ever seen. We make no adjustments, and play right into the strength of any other team. Our passing is abysmal, even with Sutherland. We were clueless against Loyola's zone, even though we had to know it was coming, it appeared we were not prepared in the least for it.
So Bradley falls to 5-9, Loyola goes to 11-2.
Maybe we should hire Porter Moser, who I believe is a terrible coach. Anyone would be an improvement over what we see every game with Bradley.
Final stats, and as usual, they are terrible-
Loyola is one of the worst teams we will face the rest of the year, and they handled us like we were Eureka.
Just as I predicted, the MVC teams will scout us and will be ready for anything we try, and since we are 100% predictable, and the coaches never prepare the team to actually try something different, we will have trouble winning any games the rest of the year.
Basically Bradley has become North Carolina A&T or Florida A&M- we are about the worst that Division I has to offer.Comment
