Final score- Bradley 65 UIC 56
Comment

I think we saw who the best 5 on the court at one time are: Childs, Brown, Kingsby, Gabriel, Henry. Those 5 were high energy and turned the game into a dunkfest.
Bar had a nice game with 13 rebounds (I think). He still can't finish down low, which is frustrating, and I hope he doesn't continue to stay in the starting lineup. I would never have him in the game the same time as Elijah. Eli is so much better when Bar isn't on the court with him.
In closing, it was nice to pay back UIC for that debacle of an officiating game in Chicago last year. I'm firmly convinced the Horizon league has the worst officials in college basketball (or is it the ACC? It's close either way.).Larry Bird
I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.Comment

After a poor first half, Bradley made some changes and looked a lot better the 2nd half. The shots started falling, and they were more efficient getting points in the paint. Bradley also played terrific defense in the 2nd half, holding UIC to 32% shooting, and forcing a bunch of turnovers. Ja'Shon Henry was a beast in the 2nd half, and ended tied with Elijah Childs with a game-high 14 points.
Childs with his second straight double-double, 14 points & 12 rebounds
Koch Bar also had 12 rebounds
Darrell Brown didn't shoot so well (3-13=11 points), but he played 34 minutes, had 6 assists, and no turnovers, and he had 4 steals
Danya KIngsby was solid- 9 points, 4 rebounds, and played nice defense- reminded me a bit of the kind of games DLO gave us the last couple years
Nate Kennell had 8 points, and made the only two 3-pointers for BU
And Ja'Shon was my Player of the Game off the bench

Tommy- I agree. Bar helps out a lot against certain lineups and provides effort, defense, and rebounding. He has also been a good free throw shooter and this year has developed a nice jumper. Good Stuff! However with a fast paced and guard oriented team, his hands and finishing are a liability on offense if he plays extended minutes. And you seem to be correct again that Childs just doesn’t seem to be effective on O when Bar is in playing 5 spot. Clearly part of that is Eli’s fault, but reality is reality. I think you’ve got to go back to starting Eli at the 5 and subbing Bar in. Good win tonight on a day when it didn’t look good.Compete. Defend. Rebound. Win.Comment

First half was, well pathetic. 2nd half good enough to win most games. Scary thing is the way bad O carried over to the defense in the first half. Way to many open looks. Henry and Vile are going to be a heck of a guard combo. Keep getting better as the season goes , as every Wardle yr has. All in all a good time and we are 2 and 1Comment

It's been pretty obvious so far. When Childs is aggressive and gets the ball inside he's tough to stop. And we'll be tough to beat. When he stays outside to shoot it's tough going. He's a good offensive rebounder and he won't get any if his shooting from past 15 feet. I'm fine with Koch is he sets screens, plays defense and rebounds like he did in the game. And I predict he'll shoot and make a 3 before the season is over. JaShon played like he'll be named the most improved player in the Valley. Was really impressed by our defense in the 2nd half but if we're going to have a chance against the Power 6 conference teams we'll be playing in the next couple of weeks we better do that in both halves or we'll be on the wrong side of the ledger.Comment

Not our best game but it is good to have a win on a bad shooting night. I agree with everyone else, when our shots are not falling Bar and Childs should not be in the game together. Bar can get some easy put backs and has a decent 15 ft shot now but he just isn't much of an offensive threat. Henry and Childs really seemed to feed off each other offensively at the end of the game.Comment
