  • Final score: Duquesne 69 Bradley 67

    Next game: Bradley vs. Duquesne in Akron, Monday, Dec. 18- the game is at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, OH.

    Bradley (6-4) travels back to Akron to play Duquesne (7-2) on Monday, Dec. 18, presumably at 6:00 pm Central time.
    The Duquesne schedule (as well as virtually every other source) shows this game is at 7 pm EST, which is 6:00 pm Central.
    However, the Bradley schedule shows the game time is 7:00 pm Central. Is this an error? Hopefully, someone can clear up this discrepancy.

    The game is at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, as Duquesne head coach Keith Dambrot is from Akron, and was the coach at SVSM HS from 1998-2001, and coached LeBron James. He has schedule one game Akron with free admission in 5 of the last 6 seasons (the Covid year of 2020-21 was excluded), as an homage to his hometown of Akron and to St. Vincent St. Mary HS, who hired him in 1998 when nobody else would hire him due to an incident of him using a word that was considered a slur.- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_...gan_University

    Their game last year (11/18/22) at SVSM HS against Colgate drew an attendance of only 429. The previous year (12/19/21), their game against UC-Irvine drew only 211.

    There is no TV or video stream available for this game. It appears that none of Duquesne's previous games in Akron were televised or streamed.

    Duquesne University is a private Catholic university located in Pittsburgh. The Duquesne Dukes are a member of the Atlantic-10 Conference.
    Last season they were 20-13 overall and 10-8 in the A-10, good for a tie for 6th place (out of 15 teams). They were picked 4th in the 2023-24 A-10 Preseason Poll.

    Box score- https://goduquesne.com/sports/mens-b...boxscore/19142

    The Duquesne roster includes a couple former MVC players. Dusan Mahorcic played a season for Illinois State, and is now a grad-transfer at Duquesne. But he is out with a knee injury and has not played this season. Tre Williams played his freshman season at Indiana State, and he is now a senior at Duquesne. He has only played in 2 games this season, and is out with a thumb injury.

    They are lead by two double-digit scorers. 5th year player, 6'2" guard Dae Dae Grant is a former Miami-Ohio player who transferred to Duquesne last season and lead them in scoring with 15.5 ppg. This season he also is their leading scorer with 19.0 ppg. 6'3" senior guard Jimmy Clark III is a former juco transfer who averages 16.4 ppg. Both of them shoot 31% from three, and they both shoot a lot of threes (Grant 23-73, Clark 16-51). As a team, Duquesne shoots 35.2% from three.

          Hard to believe in this day & age that a relatively new(er) stadium does not have the ability to stream for the games (even High School level) at the venue.

            Here is the tweet- https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/sta...39909753323985

            Connor just got onto the court for the first time Saturday for a light workout, and it was hoped he could be ready to play tonight. But apparently he is still slowed by the ankle. There are 3 more days until the next game, SIUE on Thursday (Dec. 21), then another week (Dec. 28 ) until the final non-conference game against Truman State. Obviously, Bradley needs him to be healthy for the resumption of the MVC games on January 3 at Valparaiso.

              As noted in the top post, Bradley's schedule page was initially showing an incorrect start time for tonight's game as 7:00 pm.
              But now it has been changed to 6:00 pm- https://bradleybraves.com/sports/men...tball/schedule
              And Bradley Basketball social media has posted corrections showing the start time now as 6:00 pm- https://twitter.com/BradleyUMBB/stat...78354550886405

              However, there are still some sources showing the incorrect time of 7:00 pm.
              The Game Preview article is still showing the start time as 7:00 pm- https://bradleybraves.com/news/2023/...-duquesne.aspx
              Also, the Bradley live audio link still shows the pregame programming will start at 6:29 pm- https://bradleybraves.com/watch/?Live=79&type=Archive

              So hopefully, Bradley fans are up to date on the correct start time being 6:00 pm Central, and nobody missed the first hour of the game.

                  Anyone going to be there that could live stream it for us? So disappointing to have a game not be streamed at all in today’s world.

                    Shocking that LeBron didn’t hook it up for his former high school.

                            That's the difference right there. Them doubling us in free throw attempts didn't help. 5 by Ellis, 5 by Deen by my count. Cannot have that and expect to win.

                              Wow...what can you say that hasn't been said in this losing streak....TOs take the Braves out of a winnable game. Let's be honest...with Hickman out there is only 1 competent PG on the court...Deen, my god your playing a walk on at guard with about 10 minutes playing time in his Bradley career.....that's on the coach, MAJOR recruiting flaw...
