Exhibition game: Final score: Bradley 93 UI-Springfield 64

[Da Coach]

After reflecting on what I saw, here’s my most pleasant and encouraging surprise: a team full of many new and young guys, playing in basically their first game together, under a new system, against a physical team, playing up tempo ball… and we have SINGLE DIGIT TURNOVERS?

that was encouraging to me and speaks to the skill level as well as the bball IQ.

you can also really start to see the body type Wardle likes to have on the roster: long, lean, strong, swift.

That was one thing I was impressed with against UIS. It probably had a bit to do with the fact UIC was not a real big, quick, or athletic team, but it also was better movement and passing. I don't recall a really an unwise pass or bad turnover.
We also had a lot of wide open shots, which last year never came easy. Again, maybe we won't see those as much against better teams, but the quickness and movement on offense seemed much better.

I can see Leons after he settles down can become a dominant player. Hickman seemed to play with ease for a Freshman

I couldn't find any video of this game. I'm assuming there isn't any, but if anyone knows where I can get it if it is available, please let me know so I can get it posted.
