[Da Coach]

Game day! About 4 hours until the start of today's game.
Here again are the stats for SEMO-

They are a relatively high scoring team (78.0 ppg- ranks 120th in D1) compared to Bradley's average of 69.5 ppg. And they shoot the 3-point shot very well (40.1%).
But they yield 76.0 ppg (ranks 254th in D1)

Bradley's overall defense now ranks 4th in Division I. They allow 58.5 ppg-

Bradley's overall field goal defense is also pretty good. They rank 8th in Division I with a FG defensive percentage of 36.7%-

So hopefully, Bradley will get their offense going, and keep up the great defense! Go Braves!

If we can win, then I believe it will be the first time in 30 years (since 1987-88 ) that we have gone 10-2 to start a season...
and it will be the first time ever that we have won our 10th game by December 20.

in Geno's 4 years, two of them he didn't even win 10 games,
in one other he took til February to get the 10th and in 2012-13 he took til January.

So far the video is working, but there are some stalling out problems with the video stream

There are very few fans in the stands.

[tornado]

can't be > than a couple 100 people there!!

4 missed layups so far....

maybe it's time for Coach Wardle to begin getting some concern about the turnovers...

[Da Coach]

Too many turnovers and poor defense on Mahoney, their best player. Another poor start for the Braves.

Bradley started the game very slow, but they looked terrific the final 8 minutes to pull out to a 41-29 lead at halftime

[Da Coach]

Bradley had only 4 turnovers in the first half, and I think all 4 came early in the half. They really played great the last 8 minutes.
The game was tied 22-22 with under 6 minutes left in the half, when Darrell Brown made a three pointer with 5:43 left. Bradley then went on a 19-7 run to finish the half with the 41-29 lead.
Stats-
Bradley shot 16-30 (53%) and 7-12 (58%) from three. Both teams had 16 rebounds, and Bradley had only 4 turnovers compared to 7 for SEMO. Bradley has 18 bench points.
Elijah Childs had 13 points to lead the scoring for BU, and he has 6 rebounds. Nobody else has more than 2 rebounds for Bradley.
Nate Kennell has game-leading 4 assists for Bradley. Bradley has 8 total assists to 5 for SEMO.

2 of the TO's were balls lost under the basket but two were bad passes by DB- still need to clean those up
what saved us from more TO was that when the balls have been knocked loose, it's been our guys going & getting it- especially Childs

[BUSongwriter]

Announcer on the video stream: "I don't see why Elijah Childs isn't a starter on this team."

That day is surely coming, but I think Coach is bringing him along well and the talented freshman will be fresh come Valley play.

Let's get W #10, Braves!

after a weak 1st half, Koch Bar has had a pretty solid 2nd half
he now has 8 pt, 6 reb, 2 blocks
