I'm going to need an AED in my living room if we have more games like that. Big win to start the season.

I have some old smelling salts, lmk where to send them

Bradley played only 8 players- Duke played 40 minutes, Malevy Leons played 39 minutes, Hickman played 37 minutes, and Hannah played 36 minutes.
Demarion Burch, Kyle Thomas, Goanar Biliew, and Connor Linke did not play. I think eventually, Bradley is going to need contributions from one or more of those bench players at times during the season. And let's hope we can avoid injuries.

BU dodged a bullet with this win. For a good part of the second half, it looked like they wanted to help UAB win the game.

I think with the importance of winning last nights game on the road against a quality opponent like UAB the starters played more minutes then usual. Hoping Burch and Thomas start getting minutes and probably will Sat, night against Utah St. I know Burch will be a good player for us and hoping Thomas can step in and give us quality minutes as another athletic big man. Sorry I am not sold on Meta as he struggles both on offense and defense. We play a lot better with a faster lineup.

Looking back on yesterday, I think Meta can do well in some games but not against an athletic team like UAB. It seemed like the game was just too fast for him. Maybe with more time he can have more of an impact.

I'm still pretty high on both Ellis and Burch. Give them some time and I think they can be solid pieces of the team, and we need them to at the guard spot. Deen and Hickman shouldn't be playing 35+ minutes all season long if we want to be playing out best at the end of the season.

He probably could play better against a slower team but we are better as a team playing faster on offense. He had 1 rebound last night and between the exb. game and last nights game our offense has not been good when he is on the floor.

I have never been sold on him. I know people have high hopes, but he has always looked slow and he really needs to improve his hands, in addition to everything else that has been addressed.

The core 4 of Leon’s, Deen, Hick, and Darius seem to be the highlights…I think CD should start at the 3 against smaller teams and Jonovic at the 5 for bigger teams.

Almar I think will settle in like Ville over time and be a key spot up shooter. Ellis looks hesistant on the offensive end but I think will form out to be a key back up guard….wish I would have seen more Burch.

I thought we were going to be deep but it looks like 7-8 players will play the majority of the minutes with spot minutes when key players get into foul trouble. I’d like to see a 9-10 player rotation as more players get acclimated before conference play.

Defensively we will be solid all year but I’m nervous about not having a star to take over at the end of the game. Not enough players to create their own shot.

Give them some time and I think a few more players will turn the corner and start contributing more on offense. The team we played had big players and Meta struggled just like he did in the exb. games against a smaller team. Jonovic has a long ways to go in my opinion.

UAB is currently kicking Maryland’s butt. Imagine how good Bradley’s win will look if UAB holds on.

Free throws were the difference again except in UAB's favor this time. They shot an amazing 21-23 (91%) from the line after shooting 18-29 (62%) against BU.
