A great game for Bradley last (Wednesday) night. What a difference Childs makes to this team. A great test and learning experience for the team to prepare them for this Saturday's game at "hostile" Southern Illinois.
If anyone paid attention. SIU is going to be a ticked off set of "Ravaged Salukis Dogs" after the way that they lost to Valpo this past Wednesday night. The Salukis were 13-of-55 (24%) from the field and 5-of-28 (18%) from the 3-point line. Even at the free throw line, where SIU has been good this year, the Salukis went 7-of-12 (58%). SIU had a night like Bradley has also suffered during the season - Like Northwestern and at Memphis.
Southern is "one" game ahead of Bradley - currently in second place.
The game intensity and hostile environment expected this Saturday will be another GREAT TEST and LEARNING EXPERIENCE for our re-surging Braves.
At this time - I am taking a "different tac". What areas of Bradley's game does Bradley need to continue to improve heading into the 2020 MVC Tournament? I included a picture / screen shot of the game stats for all 3 2019 MVC Tournament games that Bradley played in last year - also the web site. I am trying to "wrap my head around all of this". One thing - the stats for the second half of the Northern Iowa game - incredible.
My view a) continue to improve their confidence b) the intangibles where no stats are kept - how DLO and Lundy and Luke did so many other things to disrupt the other teams offensive plays c) take it to the hole - Mr. Barr - I am having a difficult time watching your missed bunny shots d) Nate - you were incredible with your 3 point shooting in the 2nd game against Loyola last year - we need you
So here is to the final 5 games. KEEP ON IMPROVING AND SHARPENING YOUR SKILLS BRADLEY. GO BRAVES !!!
