James Madison and Weber State are on the other side of the tournament bracket so after we play UTSA, we will face one of those two teams.

UTSA launched a lot of 3's Friday but didn't make many...UTSA also had no player with more than 3 rebounds in their game today

FWIW...I payed the fee to watch on the Tournament Feed, I thought the quality was really good...as it should for $30....just thought Id leave this info if anybody was on the fence but worrying if the quality of the feed was any good.

[Chibearsfan10125]

The video feed has the Bradley radio feed as the audio.

[tornado]

3 minutes in we already have 3 turnovers....this drives me crazy!!

edit - now 4 minutes in we have 4 turnovers

2nd edit - 4.5 minutes in now we have 5 turnovers!!

then 5.5 minutes in we get our 6th turnover - 5 of which are credited to UTSA as steals!! (they were mostly unforced TOs)

[tornado]

Elijah Childs and Donte are our best players right now...
great effort, unselfish but looking to score...

Dave Snell saying 8 turnovers but stats say 9

ONE big difference tho is that 12 minutes into this game we only have THREE total fouls!!

[tornado]

on a 15-0 run despite the turnovers - great defense
25-17 with 6 min left 1st half

[tornado]

Halftime
Bradley 30 - UTSA 26
Donte Thomas 9 pts, 4 rebs
Elijah Childs 7 pts, 4 rebs
Jojo McGlaston 7 pts, 3 rebs, 2 steals
DLO 5 rebs
nobody has more than 1 foul!!

Bradley with 13 turnovers - pretty evenly distributed - everyone has 1 or 2
...and we still miss the front end of almost every 1-and-1!!

The bad news...13 turnovers, 4-7 on FTs, fouled a 3-point shooter, and only hitting 2-11 from 3-pt and Darrell Brown is 0-4, scoreless

Elijah Childs 7 pts, 5 rebs
great 2nd half for Darrell Brown - ends with 14 pts, 3 rebs, 3 asst

[Da Coach]

Bradley survives a ton a of mistakes- 20 turnovers, only 5-16 from three- to pull out a 71-69 win against Texas-San Antonio. Jojo makes 3 free throws inside the final second to pull Bradley from a 69-68 deficit to a 71-69 win!
Bradley is now 3-1, and will play the winner of the James Madison-Weber State game tomorrow for the Consolation Bracket Championship.
