Final score: Mississippi 66 Bradley 49

[Vent]

What are we trying to do in our half-court offense? If we don't have a one-on-one isolation drive, our half-court offense is nothing. Driving to the basket out of control, stopping and then passing back outside, it looks like nobody wants the ball. We never pass and cut to the basket for a return pass. We set screens on the perimeter and then roll the wrong direction. We have no organization. We don't have very good shooters so at least we could run an offense to generate good shots.

The 1-3-1 is killing Bradley......10 t/o 19-38 ole miss half time

The 1-3-1 is killing Bradley......10 t/o 19-38 ole miss half time

We need to start taking what they are giving us- the outside shot. Our constant attempts to penetrate their zone is resulting in turnovers (9 for the half), and horrendous shot selection (4-19, 21% on 2-point shots). We are 3-8 on three pointers (37.5%)

Bradley down big 38-19 at half.

Definite foul not block against Barker down low!

[Vent]

If we start shooting the 3-ball, which we probably should, they will extend their defense and take that away. We just look like we are shell-shocked. There is a clear difference between the level of talent, and Ole Miss is really just a middle of the road team in the SEC. Kentucky, Florida, Auburn, LSU, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, South Carolina, and Tennessee are better programs year in year out.

[Big Mike]

So far really poor decision making with he ball....careless passes to no-one....picking up the dribble or driving into double teams with no outlet!

Ole miss is much larger and stronger. With these refs not calling many blocking fouls and other body contact as fouls, bradley doesn't have a chance as they are currently playing. We seem to get contact, then throw up a shot expecting two free throws and they just aren't happening tonight.

[Big Mike]

Nice play by Brown.....taking ball away from the big man and lay-up! Kids usually play good in front of parents and friends.

I'd like to see if foster could inject some interior toughness. Need a spark to come from somewhere, the current rotation isn't cutting it.

[Big Mike]

That's the 4th time tonight Barker has missed a bunny by getting blocked! What would Foster hurt....he hustles and has the best hands of the bigs IMO!

[Big Mike]

Foster sighting........

[Big Mike]

Back/back 3's

[ihatetea]

So far foster isn't playing much different from the other bigs. He's fouling at higher pace tho lol

[Big Mike]

He did set a screen at half court that leveled a guy!

[Big Mike]

You have to admit......that sure is a beautiful blue jacket....
