Bradley is 5-6, and Sam Houston is 4-7.

Here is the UTEP channel (Miner TV), and it also does not show Tuesday's or Wednesday's games-

Any idea if it is carried on radio?

[Da Coach]

Yes, both games in El Paso will be carried on WMBD radio.

Bradley plays Sam Houston on Tuesday, Dec. 21, at 6 pm Central in the first game of the 2021 WestStar Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational in El Paso, Texas....

TV- The UTEP website shows that the games in the WestStar Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational are streamed on CUSA-TV, which is a subscription-only streaming service.

Now the UTEP website has changed and no longer shows the Bradley-Sam Houston game on the CUSA TV network. Only the games that UTEP is playing in appear to be televised. So there now appears to be no available TV or video stream for Tuesday's game-

I asked Sam Houston Men's Basketball on Facebook if the Bradley game will be televised or live streamed. Their response: "The game will be streamed on YouTube. The link will be posted on our schedule page at gobearkats.com, but it will not be available until tomorrow."

Jim! Thanks for looking out for the BU forum faithful, buddy!

I thought I would go ahead and create the "free" account now instead of waiting until game time. Come to find out, they ask for a credit card in order to access the free account which is only for 7 days.

DO NOT sign up on the Quickorange pop-up. It is just for movies.

Anyone find the YouTube link? If so, can you post it?

[Da Coach]

This appears to be the direct YouTube link to the two games today (Dec. 21, 2021) including Bradley vs. Sam Houston-

No, it is free for everyone.
The video stream just began, but all it shows for now is a near-empty court with a count-down clock-

Did Ja'Shon make the trip?

Final score- Bradley 87 Sam Houston 61
Stats- https://dbukjj6eu5tsf.cloudfront.net...506-BRAD12.pdf

Bradley lead by 39 with about 3 minutes left (82-43) but then the lead shrunk with subs in the game. Overall a nice performance.

Bradley shot 28-51 overall (54.9%), 11-27 from three (40.7%), and 20-25 from the FT line (80%).
They held Sam Houston to 22-56 from the floor, 5-21 from three, and forced 16 turnovers.
If there was one weakness, it was somewhat weak interior defense. Sam Houston got a lot of layups, and scored 26 points in the paint for a small team. Plus, they got way too many offensive rebounds (12 for SHSU compared to just 3 for Bradley).

Did Ja'Shon make the trip?

I did not see him on the bench.

BU ends up with an easy win, 87-61. BU started to pull away with around 5:00 to go in the first half and never looked back. After giving up the first two points of the half BU went on a 29-7 10:00 run to take control. Going to need to bring it like this to best UTEP on their home court tomorrow, presuming that’s they beat North Carolina Central

Wow! Best game of the year for Bradley! Sam Houston is really bad but I was very impressed with several players, most notably Terry Roberts. He is a star in the making. Hickman and Leons also looked good. Big upgrade at the PG position. Where was Henry? Any info is appreciated. BTW... thanks so much Coach for the link to the game. Got to watch the whole thing.
