Final score: Bradley 74 Evansville 63

[tornado]

now the FT discrepancy is 17 to 2


and memo to DLO - PLEASE! Stop the no-look over the shoulder passes!!!!

up to double digit turnovers when I thought we were going be a little different this game...
plus the refs are killing us with bad calls


so much room to improve if we cut the turnovers and don't put them on the FT line

[tornado]

geez....the guy slips and falls and they still nail Hodgson with the foul!

they have HALF their frikkin points from the free throw line

21-2 in ft's attempted....that's crazy

[tornado]

DLO!!!! With 2 seconds left just shoot the ball !!!!!!!!
....amazing....we just give away possessions like they are worthless.........we have to value the ball & value possessions better!!!!

[lefty]

DLO!!!! With 2 seconds left just shoot the ball !!!!!!!!

that's one of the reasons we only shot 2 ft's.....

If we keep this up, especially if the refs keep blowing their whistles, Wardle is going to be forced to play both Suggs and Foster. I think we're a better team than Evansville but we HAVE to take better care of the ball. They are not putting any pressure on our ball handlers yet we keep throwing the ball away.

I don't think in over 50 years of watching college basketball, I have ever seen a game with this huge of a FT shooting discrepancy...
21-2....with scoring on FTs at 16-0

[tornado]

Catch the pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


we play like our guys are wearing mittens!!

those are the same as TO when we fumble the rebound out of bounds and foul the other guy when we should have grabbed the rebound so we're closing in on 20 turnovers when we had only one in the first 5 minutes

[Dub]

One major issue with this team is simply catching the ball. On passes. Loose balls. Rebounds. Fix that one fundamental, and several of the major stats improve.

[tornado]

26-4 on FTs...amazing

our guys are battling, tho...

[tornado]

Guys are coming thru...........

down the stretch we handle the ball well, and have made free throws and look like a far better team - now up 11

[tornado]

Ha- LOL - their guy Howard interfered with his own teammate's made basket and cost his team two points!!

[tornado]

I wonder if a team has ever won against an opponent who has shot 46 free throw attempts and shot 28 more than we have

[Da Coach]

Bradley plays a tremendous game, outplays Evansville from wire to wire and wins on the road. Congratulations to the players and coaches. Maybe the most impressive win in the Wardle era, and a complete turnaround from the Wichita State game.

Bradley wins 74-63

a really remarkable game....
I didn't think we played well in a few areas- poor passing and a lot of turnovers, and we (or the refs) put them on the FT line a ton
but we continue to shoot well and we made FTs when it mattered!!!
AND WE BATTLED...we hung close on rebounding numbers, despite knowing that every time we were within a foot of an Evansville player the refs whistled us for a foul

and what I really noticed and liked was that when we got a solid lead over the final 10 minutes, then we snapped out of the funk and STOPPED TURNING THE BALL OVER!!
GOOD JOB Braves....don't stop now...
