Why didn??™t Hodson get more minutes?

I think Snell said he got into foul trouble early.

the attendance cited of 702 just reflects mostly their season ticket base plus the very few who were walk-ups...because all the scenes that showed the crowd convinced me there couldn't have been more than a couple hundred butts-in-the-seats people there.

Also, recall that SEMO went to SIU 11 days earlier (where the Salukis are otherwise 6-0 at home) and beat them handily!
SEMO jumped out to a huge 1st half lead against SIU- racing out to a lead of 37-15, then led at halftime 39-25. SEMO then held off the Salukis in the 2nd half and really never trailed the whole game.

I don't think SEMO will remain a doormat in the OVC for long. I was impressed with some of the talent Rick Ray has recruited there. Their leading scorer, and the leading scorer among all OVC teams, Denzel Mahoney, looked like a really good player, though he didn't shoot so well against Bradley. He was able to get to the FT line repeatedly. He is just a sophomore, and already has a body that looks like a pro athlete. Second leading scorer Ledarrius Brewer was impressive and had 13 points and 7 rebounds, and he is just a freshman. Ray Kowalski and Isaiah Gable both looked like fine shooters, and big man Justin Carpenter looked good, too. And they are all freshmen.

Bradley played SEMO last season in Peoria, and this season in Cape Girardeau. Do we know if this series was a simple home-and-home or a 2-for-1? If it was a 2-for-1, we will likely play SEMO again next year in Peoria. They could be tough next season.

a lot of guys had good games against SEMO but that short stretch where Elijah Childs ran off 11 straight points and nail three 3's was what gave us the lead that we never relinquished...
I think he should have been the Player of the Game.

Mississippi is favored by 8?? points

I??™m a bit surprised at the spread. Thought it would be closer.

[Da Coach]

Others must think so too, the line is coming down a little....now it is 7?? points at many gambling establishments-
