Drake blows out Bradley at home 69-57

How many of those guys have been MVC 1st team All Conference and averaged 20 points per game? I have been on record saying I like the kids MUller has recruited, but I don't think losing any of those guys is close to comparable to the affect losing Marshall is.

He wasn't playing like a first team all conf guy this mvc season.

He was only averaging 13ppg, while shooting 34% from the field and 21% from trey. He was also only averaging 1.8 assists.

And those 4 games he played against drake, siu, indy state and Illinois state

Donte Thomas is not in uniform tonight. I have not heard a reason. He was walking around on the court and rebounding for the other players during warmups, so it didn't appear he was injured.

TV guy said he was suspended for a violation of team rules

Please hurry up and fire Cross and Geno I can't watch this garbage anymore!! Down ten to Drake at half are you kidding me!!! Bye bye Geno....

It seems like somebody flipped a switch on Wessler. Not very kind on Twitter.

Drake 41 Bradley 31 at halftime


Maybe the worst defense I've seen a Bradley team play in many years. Drake almost scored their season average per game in the first half alone.

What's up with Omari......turning into the invisible man?

Geez, This was disappointing again--we made Drake look like a powerhouse tonight. How many times do we let the shot clock drop to 2 seconds before we foul. The other mistakes and lack of defense is really surprising. Wonder what the root cause is? Is this all coaching?

[Da Coach]

Nothing much to say. This trainwreck just went off a cliff. Drake leads wire to wire, dominates Bradley on their home court.
Final score Drake 69 Bradley 57

We have the worst coaching staff in the NCAA.

Living in Chicago Area, I figured I would watch this game on comcast chicago. I knew it would not be good but I certainly figured we SHOULD probably beat the one team in the MVC worse than us. Nope sure was wrong.

We never led, and they were lighting up three pointers early on. I've probably said this a few times past couple years, but this program has tonight AGAIN suffered a new low!!

BOO
BOO
BOO

Was this game the worst game yet by Southerland......what an off night!

Remember - Dave Reynolds wrote this about our goal...
"Whether the Braves are able to ...avoid the Thursday play-in round of the MVC tournament for the first time in five years is the biggest question..
.. Starting the tournament on Friday could help the Braves begin to return to relevance in the conference again."....

when you aim low you end up low...and here we are...
I guess this puts to rest any further debate which era of all time is the very worst Bradley basketball imaginable.

if even one person - ever again - claims we played this bad in the 90's or in the Mo era or JL era - they will need a psych eval. - nope - this is rock bottom - this is housecleaning material.
Cross needs to be shown the door and Geno & his staff as well before it swings shut.
Please clean house and appoint Jeremy Crouch or AJ Guyton to coach the team for the rest of the season.



btw - ran into Dyricus - he got some better offers and is working on a deal to play in Europe - done in Mexico - didn't have a lot to say about the game.
Can't imagine there people right there on this board who said we'd be MUCH better once we got rid of the JL players and let Geno run the show with his own recruits. Can't imagine there was anyone with such unimaginably bad perception but there were - many of them, although most are now hiding on a different board.

What's up with Omari......turning into the invisible man?

I totally forgot about Omari, but I did mention to my son late in the game that Sutherland had been totally invisible tonight.
