Final score: Bradley 70 Wofford 62

[BUfan39]

It's going to be awfully tough to win games if we can't make a **** FT! It's so frustrating to watch miss after miss when the other team we plays continually knocks them down, no big deal. Agreed about Foster not getting minutes when other's aren't performing. Luke is really struggling. And where is Donte?? At one point a few minutes ago the Braves had 10 TO to 1 assist?! Ugly.

foot injury

but there are several areas where we can and should improve and can be a much better team..turnovers, missed FTs, poor shooting, lack of defending the lane

but we are still down 11 despite playing an extremely poor half - time for someone to step up and we'll have Darrell Brown back in the 2nd half

[LittleBrave]

Anyone know why Donte Thomas has not played yet?
Pittman has only played 5 minutes? Suggs only 3 minutes? Foster only 1 minute? Sorry, but some of the guys getting the minutes are not getting the job done, IMO.

ps, yes I know Foster has 2 fouls, but what exactly are we saving him for?

Yeah, I was thinking the same. We need Donte - he is more physical and the guy with the most experience.
Putting these guys on the line for freebees and they don't miss often.

[LittleBrave]

Pitt-bull playing solid.

Let's see if we can get closer in the 2nd half with DB back off the bench.
D-Lo playing poorly - seems he has a good game - then an off game so far this season.

To Wofford's credit, they have been a fundamentally sound squad for the past several years and a good team. I don't expect to win this one, but we need to play better and be more competitive.

Peoria/Bradley needs to host a tournament

I wonder how the hosts of the Gulf Coast Showcase make any money on this tournament. The attendance is terrible.
I would like to see Peoria or Bradley try to host a tournament in the future. The Renaissance Coliseum could easily handle a tournament like this and Bradley's fans would support the games.

usually these tourneys don't expect to make it at the gate but they draw enough people that the hotels and businesses do well...
Some that do lose money - like the Alaska ones - do occasionally cancel at the last minute due to impending losses.

[Da Coach]

Bradley with a far better 2nd half and trail 62-61 with 3:40 left.

Shooting percentage has risen to 39.6% (19-48 ), and FT % to 68% (17-25)

Would be great to see these young guys close this out!

[tornado]

someone finally woke up van Bree!

[Da Coach]

Bradley with possession and a 64-62 lead and 31.7 seconds left.

can they hold on?

[Da Coach]

Bradley wins 70-62! What a huge win for the young Bradley team!
Bradley goes to 3-2

Nice finish and THANK YOU referees for not falling for that phony flop by the Wofford guy twice trying to draw a foul!

Nice job defensively by Jojo and some nice FTs by Darrell
We improved on everything we needed to improve on in the 2nd half to come back & win - GREAT JOB BRAVES!!


BRADLEY 70 - Wofford 62
McGlaston 14 pts, 6 reb
Brown 11 pts, 2 asst
Pittman 11 pts
Bar 9 pts, 10 rebs, and a couple blocks
van Bree 8 pts and a couple clutch 3's
DLO 8 pts
Kennell 4 pts
Barker 3 pts and some great minutes when we had foul trouble
Hodgson 2 pts
Suggs, Hodgson and Foster all had off games

But this is sooooo much better - we are in every game now and we're winning away from home...
our true road record over the last 5 years is 8-55 and in four of the last five years we won only ONE road game!!

[Da Coach]

Bradley will play for 5th place tomorrow at 12:30 PM CST against the winner of the game that is about to start between Kent State and George Mason.


Only 3 turnovers in the 2nd half, and much better shooting and defense.
Bradley shot 50% in the 2nd half (15-30), 4-11 on threes (36.4% after 1-9 in 1st half) in the 2nd half, and they were 11-12 on FTs in the 2nd half (91.7%)

WOW! I didnt know our road record recently was so pitiful!!! So glad to have the program ascending from the pit!! I really enjoyed the 2nd half of this game. Somehow I knew it would end differently than it would have ended last year. The sophs have so much good experience now and the talent Coach Wardle brought in after a full year of recruiting is really showing. Yes, a ways to go for sure, but sooo much better than the previous hopeless crap.

[LittleBrave]

Enjoy these Pre-Thanksgiving tournaments for Bradley.

About time we had another good memory to add.
About 4 years ago we beat the Illini and 7 years ago, we pulled out an upset win I believe in Estero.
