[tornado]

Creighton's 2nd game:
Creighton 85- Calgary 77
Watts 21 pts, Bahe 15.
Creighton 5-17 from 3-pt, and only 18-37 on FT.
P'Allen Stinnett 1-5 and 0-2 from 3-pt, totalling 6 pt.
(he had 9 pt and 6 fouls in their first game-- yes they allowed 6 fouls)

In their 3rd game in Canada, Creighton 88-49 vs. Lethbridge
(Lethbridge by the way, lost 97-31 the previous day to Weber State, and Weber State
lost to Calgary)
Kenton Walker, Creighton's 6-8 PF recruit from California injured a knee...not known how serious.
Stinnett had 6 pts, 1 assist,
CU again shot FTs at 13-25, and 3 pointers 9-26.

In their fourth game (they played Sascatchewan again)
Creighton won 92-66
Stinnett 12 pts, 1 asst.
Dotzler 4 pts, 3 asst
Woodfox 13 pts, Watts 15, Lawson 14 pts/10 reb
CU 15-23 on FT, 9-24 on 3-pt.
Walker did not play/knee injury

One interesting stat from their first game....Creighton had only 9 turnovers, and Saskatchewan had 31!
Yet CU won by only five, 87-82.

So they are presently 4-0 on their tour .......good experience......they know what they need to work on...
overall they shot:
46% on FG, 32.5% on 3-pointers, and 56% on FT, so far.

One more game, against Calgary again later today...........

I cannot understand why more college teams do not take these foreign "tours". If a coach cannot have access to his players during the summer this seems like a great loophole around this.

Am I missing something here?

I believe you can only do these trips once every 4 years.

[tornado]

Correct--
these foreign exhibition tours which don't count against your game total and allow extra practices can only be taken once every four years.

Bradley last took theirs before the 05-06 season (to Canada) - right?

I thought it was 04-05, cause wasn't Gillingham and that group still here?

You know... I think you might be right. BU kinda hit the skids late in the season and some mighta mentioned the "extended season" wore them out.

But... Gilbert, Gilly and Marcello graduated in the 03-4 season.

So now I have no idea when they went to Canada. LOL!

[Da Coach]

Bradley's Canadian trip was in early October, 2004. Gillingham, Gilbert, and 'Cello Robinson all had graduated after the 03-04 season. The roster of that 04-05 team that went 5-0 in Canada against Brock University, University of Guelph, Wilfred Laurier U., McMaster U., and York U. included--
Danny Adams (So.)
Tony Bennett (Jr.)
Jeremy Crouch (Fr.)
Brandyn Heemskerk (Jr.)
Montana Hierman (Fr.)
Kevin Jones (So.)
Patrick O'Bryant (Fr.)
Michael Rembert (So.)
Daniel Ruffin (Fr.)
Sam Singh (Fr.)
Marcellus Sommerville (Jr.)
Lance Stemler (Fr.)
J.J. Tauai (So.)
Lawrence Wright (Jr.)

So can we expect a trip next fall for the six seniors and some key sophomores?
