Wow! We really need Rienk to stay out of foul trouble. Hard to watch right now…

[BUfan14]

Mast sitting with 2 fouls killed the Braves. Montgomery and Hickman shooting 3's is not working. Bradley desperate at center...Ahmet already in.

I’m sure coach was not happy with Hannah, but they are undersized anyway. Why on Earth put in Linke? That hurt us too. Put Davis in, that guy always puts in effort.

This game smells like Belmont all over again. Halftime>

We have enough veterans on this team that we shouldn't go through long periods without scoring very much. It happened the 2nd half at Belmont and now the first half of this game.

At this point it feels like a Bradley tradition.

Bradley getting killed by a Murray St team who wants it more....

[Big Mike]

Totally embarrassing on the boards....1 racer beats out 3 Braves for the rebound...

[BUSongwriter]

Belmont was shorthanded. Murray is shorthanded. But both showed more hustle and desire than our team. So disappointing.

[BradleyBiz]

Disappointed that Wardle did not show more restraint when it was 48-45. The technical foul really swung momentum their way. Can’t let your emotions get the best of you…the wheels fell off after that.

[PattonMD]

Let's face it. BU just isn't as good as we all thought or hoped they would be. At least that's the case for me.

This Bradley team has regressed since beating UNI and winning at Missouri State.

Poor shooting- 20-58 (34.5%), and 7-26 (26.9%) - Mast 1-7, Deen 2-11, Hickman 1-9
Poor rebounding- Murray State outrebounded BU 39-32
And poor interior defense- Murray State with 36 points in the paint

Out rebounded. Out hustled. Out scored. Out coached. Murray State looked like they were well prepared for us. The rest of the league will surely be noting how Belmont and Murray State played to beat us. This was not fun to watch.

What did Christian Davis do to get so little playing time?

[Bradley3342]

We keep playing like this on the road and we have zero chance of winning a MVC regular season title. Really discouraging right now.

Another piss poor effort on the road. They pretty much outhustled us all night but we seemed to have our feet stuck in cement shoes all night. After starting the game making our first 4 shots and 7 of our first 10 we finished the game 13-48. UGH. Murray has some good players like their point guard Wood and their physical center Burns who was allowed to be overly physical against Rienk. I’ve said it before. When teams are allowed to be overly physical with us we just don’t respond well to it. Can’t expect the refs to bail us out. We better get this figured out how to get better effort and results in the road or we’ll be seeing our normal 4/5/6 seed finish in the Valley

Yes, this shart is getting real old... like a quarter of a century old. I'm not sure Bradley basketball will ever regain the respect, excitement and consistency it acheived in the '80s and early '90s. It's just sad, and I really feel sorry for the old-timers that might not live to see Bradley basketball become relevant again.
