the four years of the PJS being lapdog shills for the disastrous Joanne/Cross/Geno era & completele inability to identify how bad those years were and fairly report on them is and will remain one of the greatest oddities and most inexplicable facts about Bradley basketball...except that certain media personnel acquired nice, lucrative and even lifelong faculty positions at Bradley - hmmm...

IMO, they were positive about the Geno era, or no matter who the new coach would have been, because they had helped get rid of another successful Bradley coach, Jim Les.Originally posted by pfcmsh View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

SIU has 3 games in Cuba on August 6, 7 and 8 - one game each day against a "Cuban National Team"
In an interview yesterday by Barry Hinson at their open practice - Barry painted the Cuban National team as very powerful and said he didn't expect to win a game against them.
But that stumps me - maybe they are powerful but there's not a whole lot of evidence....
they have not played on the international stage for 20-30+ years - not in the Pan American Games since the 1990's nor in the Olympics since the 1980 Moscow games when half the world boycotted. And they haven't played in any international FIBA events in 25 years.
But just this year they have played a couple friendlies and some prelims to the 2020 FIBA World Cup. But they are definitely NOT good....losing all SIX of their games going back to last fall.
Twice they have gotten clobbered big time (30-40 pts) by a US squad of completely obscure, no-name G-Leaguers and Euro players. LINK LINK
..and even getting beat soundly by Puerto Rico twice and 75-52 and 72-66 by Mexico! So they seem to be the doormat of most National teams in our hemisphere....
I'm sure someone's gonna accuse me of picking on them but seriously - someone has to tell the facts...Barry's just pulling our legs talking like they're up there with the Warriors...Last edited by tornado; 08-02-2018, 09:17 PM.Comment

When you play the host team you have to be careful and not slam them. You don't want to get on their bad side while you are there. In fact you do just the opposite. Play them up.Originally posted by tornado View PostComment

Just saying one Coach will pay tribute to the opposing team and coach. They do that as a courtesy. Does not mean they mean it!!How many times have you heard one coach say about another coach.. saying " the team is well coached" when he could be the worst coach in the worldOriginally posted by tornado View PostComment

Per SIUOriginally posted by tornado View Post
"Due to extremely limited internet availability, coverage of SIU's trip will not be available until the team returns to the United States. ....during the week of August 12-19."
we have friends who just returned from Cuba and said it is not hard at all to get internet access in Cuba, but there are very few FREE wi-fi spots -
- it is not terribly expensive...kind of like what you do on a cruise ship - you just pay by a prepaid card. (cost is about $1.50 per hour).
UTRGV going to Costa Rica - they have two MVC transfers on their roster..- https://goutrgv.com/news/2018/8/3/me...osta-rica.aspxComment

The Bradley team is currently on their long trip back to Peoria. Let's hope for a safe trip, and that they can enjoy the last couple weeks of their summer!
Fall semester classes start August 22, about 2?? weeks from now.
Practice for Bradley basketball begins in a little over 7 weeks (Sept. 26), the first exhibition game is just a little over 12 weeks away (Nov. 1), and the first official game is a little over 13 weeks away (Nov. 7).
