Everyone I could not agree more with all of your Memphis "post game" posts.
I know that there are loads of "after game analysis" and plenty of "what ifs". But I also agree if there was a barn out on the Memphis court chances are the Braves couldn't hit it last night.
Even if we shot still a miserable 33% instead of 27% and sank just 2 more of our 3 point attempts - the result would have been different and Bradley still would not have played it's best game of the year - but they would have won.
I am totally lost for words regarding Darrel and Nate's cold streak (they are either hot or cold - together 0 for 12 from 3 and 2 for 24 - come on ???)
Koch Bar slipped up a few times. I was shocked when a Memphis player (likely a freshman or sophomore) just came up to Bar (a senior) and literally - like a cat - stripped the ball out of Bar's hands. And Bar was 0-6 with 3 rebounds.
I was pleased with Kingsby's play and also pleasantly surprised with some of Boya's play.
And of course - thank goodness for Elijah Childs - we not only get this season but also next season with Elijah.
Memphis is "not" that tough. A "tad" better game by the Braves (not their best game) would have resulted with a likely win. The Braves could have made some national basketball noise and missed their opportunity. There is a "ton" of basketball left. I hope the Darrell Brown of last year shows up this year.... I believe he will and Nate will also come back.
As Ben Jacobson knows and likely everyone else - the first goal of every MVC team is to finish the regular season in the top six heading into the MVC tournament. The Valley regular season title is nice - but last season which MVC trophy do you think Drake and Loyola really wanted to hoist.
Coach Wardle is preparing his team giving each player minutes - giving them time to refine their skills before the MVC regular season begins.
I TRULY LOOK FORWARD TO THE REST OF THE REGULAR SEASON and continually getting better. Like last season - The Valley is truly up for grabs by virtually any team. GO BRAVES !!!.
