a video of Bradley basketball practicing

https://vimeo.com/155910507?ref=tw-share

good news - this was posted today (Thurs 2/18 ) and shows Luuk van Bree practicing!

I see why we foul so much. After watching that video ,there was only two possessions where there wasn't a foul. What's the old saying,"how you practice is how you play."

[Da Coach]

Those were amateur officials..

Good to see us practicing at CA . Anyone know what % of our practices are at CA?

[Da Coach]

Don't know now. Under Coach Les, they were lucky to get one practice a week at the Carver Arena.

What about Ford?

Are there any open to the public practices coming up?

[Da Coach]

I think it was the same under Ford. I know both coaches would have preferred more practices at Carver.
Practices are not open except by prior arrangement.

It depends largely on other scheduled events & when they don't need the ice and can get the floor down ...
if there's no other events and the hockey team is out of town and not using the arena for practice or games - then BU can sometimes get a practice in there
This happens to be a long stretch (Feb 14-26) when the Rivermen do NOT have a game

Drake fans talking up Agatucci's & Avanti's as places to stop while coming over for the game tonight!

[Da Coach]

Bradley keeps getting chances to pull back even, but poor shooting and turnovers keep them from coming back. It's 58-52 with 7 minutes left.

[Da Coach]

Big three by Donte Thomas to put BU ahead in the final seconds, then 2 huge FTs by Ronnie Suggs to go up 73-70, and Bradley wins!

[ihatetea]

If we win one of our next two games or drake loses one of its last two games the last two spots are locked in with us at 9 and them at ten. The 6-7-8 spots are up for grabs between loyola, mo state and Indiana state. I like our chances to win in stl with how we are playing since 1/30.

great crowd - not a lot of empties, well over 7,000, very loud...
Gotta do better on FTs, Joel Okafor & Scottie James made the difference for us tonight, and Antoine Pittman had a great game

some of our guys helped their scoring averages tonight...

DLO is now 9.35 ppg
Luuk is now 9.11 ppg
Pittman is now 8.07 ppg
