Final score: Bradley 73 SEMO 60

[patrick_o'brian]

A win is a win. This was an easy “trap” game after the blowout win against EMU and looking forward to Auburn. Gosh injuries get us every year it seems. Great play by Duke and Pop. Hope JaShon is okay and good to hear Hickman will be available next week. Hannah was a stud on D today. Love days like this. ND football shuts out BC 44-0 and the Braves improve to 3-1. On to Cancun!

Yes, it was terrific! There were 320 people in attendance (32 tables/10 per table), but i'd estimate that 40 or more were the team members and families. It was held in the 4th floor Civic Center banquet hall. Dave Snell emceed, but there were no video highlights. Tony Bennett and Jim Les each spoke to the crowd, along with Dave Snell who summarized the season, and related a few stories.

The entire team, the coaching staff, and all the support staff (student managers, conditioning and weight trainers, etc.) were there with one exception. Zach Andrews is working as a body and stunt double on a basketball movie being filmed in California, and he was not able to attend. I had the opportunity to talk to many of the players and coaches, and every one loved this idea to finally honor that team, and they were grateful to have been invited back to Bradley. Many of them brought their families (wives and kids), girlfriends, etc. The entire Les family was there (Jim, Jody, Tyler, Amber, and Hannah).

I knew Hannah was active in the game.. I did not realized this until I saw the Valley recap of the game. Bradley's Darius Hannah had seven blocks on Saturday afternoon in the win against SEMO, which tied him for second all-time at Bradley for blocks in a game.

He has maybe as quick of a leap reaction of any big guy I've seen, coupled with a very long reach. Several of the blocks were when he ended up defending one of SEMO's guards, and followed them out to the wing or corner.

Yeah man! Hannah is a beast when it comes to blocking and he just attacks the ball when it goes up. Gets him into foul trouble, but man is he fun to watch. And whatever block numbers he's putting up are skewed by the poor score keeping at Carver that always seems to short him on the numbers, and that's not my opinion, that's what Dave Snell was saying on the radio!

Hannah has always been a stud when it came to blocks and rebounds per minute played. This year, he's taking care of the ball better and may be one of the biggest dunk threats we've ever had. His dunk to make percentage has got to be through the roof right now!

I totally agree with you Tommy! He is really fun to watch and hopefully living up to his potential.
