    SIUE Schedule/Results- https://siuecougars.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule
    SIUE's Kenpom ranking is 215, which is #1 among OVC teams. Bradley's is 101, #3 in the MVC behind Drake (71) and SIU (101).

    Last season, they were 11-21, and 5-13 in the Ohio Valley Conference.

    They were picked 5th in the 10 team Ohio Valley Conference Preseason Poll-
    https://ovcsports.com/news/2022/10/1...-the-year.aspx

    They have been a Division I team for 15 seasons, and have never had a winning season.
    Historical record- https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb...-edwardsville/

    Their first Division I head coach was former Bradley assistant Lennox Forrester (2008-2015).
    They are now coached by former Wisconsin-Green Bay and Illinois State assistant Brian Barone, who worked under Brian Wardle at UW-Green Bay.
    One of Barone's assistant coaches is Kristof Kendrick, who also spent a couple seasons at Bradley on Coach Wardle's staff.
    SIUE Coaches- https://siuecougars.com/sports/mens-...roster-coaches

    Their roster includes several players who were recruited by Bradley coaches (Desmond Polk, Ray'Sean Taylor, Terrance Thompson) plus a former Indiana State player (Cobie Barnes).
    Roster- https://siuecougars.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster

    They have 5 double-digit scorers, lead by point guard Ray'Sean Taylor, who averages 13.3 ppg.
    Stats- https://s3.amazonaws.com/siuecougars...E_Combined.pdf

    They have a couple players shooting well from three point range- Lamar Wright is 14-23, 60.9%, and Jalen Hodge is 13-35, 37.1%.
    Other than those 2, they have been a somewhat poor 3-point shooting team, 31.4% as a team.
    Lamar Wright (10.8 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 60.9% from three) and Shamar Wright (10.7 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.1 apg) are two of SIUE's best players. They are twin brothers from Memphis, TN. They are sons of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright, who played for the Memphis Grizzlies, where SIUE's head coach Brian Barone's father, Tony Barone (former Bradley assistant) was both an assistant coach and a head coach.
    Unfortunately, Lorenzen Wright was tragically killed when the Wright brothers were young boys.


    This game is the second part of a 3-game agreement that includes 2 games in Peoria, and one at SIUE.
    In the first of the 3 games, Bradley beat SIUE at Carver Arena last season (12/4/2021) 80-55-

      Don’t know about JaShon, but I’ve heard Zek is getting his cast off tomorrow morning. He won’t be able to play tomorrow night, but should make his return against Arkansas.

          Here are the NET rankings for the MVC teams. It's starting to look similar to the MVC preseason poll.
          58 Drake
          79 Bradley
          84 Southern Illinois
          96 Indiana State
          101 Murray State
          168 Missouri State
          169 Belmont
          223 Northern Iowa
          257 Illinois State
          262 UIC
          274 Valparaiso
          317 Evansville


          And the updated KenPom rankings-
          71 Drake
          99 Southern Illinois
          100 Bradley
          115 Indiana State
          119 Murray State
          138 Missouri State
          149 Belmont
          152 Northern Iowa
          251 Illinois State
          261 UIC
          272 Valparaiso
          328 Evansville

            Coach, I don't recall BU ever being higher than the 90s in NET last year. This early we know that the metrics will be fluid and that SOS will work against BU in long run (Aces, Beacons, Stonehill etc).

                Safe travels KillerB. If BU wins it'll be a quad 2 win. Also, SIUe is having a 'red-out' and tshirt give away.

                  Looks like SIUE might be wearing their red uniforms for this "Red Out" game. If so, Bradley might wear their home whites.



                  Btw, SIUE has worn 3 different uniforms this season... their usual red road uniforms (above), their usual white home uniforms, and an alternate black uniform that they wear occasionally-

                      This Bradley tweet says the game is on ESPN3-
                      https://twitter.com/BradleyUMBB/stat...89578727432192

                      But I think that is an error. If you click on their link, it takes you to ESPN+, the subscription ESPN streaming platform.
                      Also, the WatchESPN Upcoming Schedule shows the game on ESPN+.
                      Direct link- https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/...arId/401489008

                      I am also surprised that there is no announcement or pregame article about tonight's game on the Bradley men's basketball website-
                      The official Men's Basketball page for the Bradley University Braves


                      I don't recall any time in decades that they have failed to profile an upcoming game since they began an internet presence for the basketball programs and athletic department.

                          Great news- Zek Montgomery had his cast removed yesterday, and is dressed, warmed up without any problems, and might play tonight!

                            Can't get the stream to work. Anyone else having issues?
