Much needed W' for the Braves.....solid game start to finish.....kudos to Leons and Deen for taking over this game!

[Big Mike]

By the way.....what is the Bradley record for 3's in a game?
Also how close is Duke to reaching the 1000 pt club after tonight?

Duke set the record for 3’s tonight and crossed the 1000 point threshold, as well.

and as for Linke, guy hustled and rebounded when he was in the game. Coach said after the game that the team chose him as the guy to come in offf th bench for this game. If he plays like that when he gets the chance, I am all for it.

My mistake, I thought they said he crossed 1000 points in post game.

You are right, my apologies...
The 976 number was his total before tonight's game. Add 35 more points, and Duke now has 1011 career points!

What a terrific game, especially that 2nd half. Bradley shot 67% on the 2nd half, and outscored Missouri State 53-35 to win 86-62.
Duke Deen with a career game- 35 points, 25 in the 2nd half. He was 9-10 in the 2nd half, and 7-8 from three.
IMO, the technical foul was not justified, Duke was merely celebrating a basket, not taunting anyone.
One other interesting disparity- Free throws in the 2nd half- Bradley 1-1, Missouri State 11-17

Missouri St. is really bad on defense. Their inside players look to be lazy at times so I knew once we got that nice lead they were done. I would think Ford will be gone after they lose in the Tour. He knows how to recruit some talent yet he struggles to get them to play together as a team.

Duke was terrific tonight along with everybody else because we had contributions from everybody. I do not think it is a coincidence that Duke has gotten so much better this season since D.B. has joined this staff.

Congrats to Duke! What a performance! When he is locked in he’s is almost unstoppable to guard

Does anyone know where I can view the career scoring list for BU that is updated after each game? The record book on the Bradley website is a couple years old.

I get what you mean, but at the end of the game look at his line. 5 rebounds, a block, and a steal. Is that any worse than meta or Thomas?

No, just unusual for the end of the year for a guy like that to join the rotation all of the sudden. He wasn’t bad tonight, but we will see against teams with stronger defense and inside games. I’ll be interested to see going forward how our ever changing backup post spot evolves.

Even if Thomas and him are equal, one offers long term potential and one doesn’t. I have liked the potential I’ve seen in Thomas. As is, hard to see him sticking around. Of course maybe he’s the next Hannah and goes from bench to starter in his career. I guess more than playing Linke, the not playing Thomas thing just seems odd to me.

Also, if taken at face value, Brian apparently has now asked the entire staff and the players who should play as of late. Very interesting.

Just to reiterate, tonight was great on both ends. Just thought that was an interesting development in terms of the backup post.

Also, unless Deen said something worse than it appeared, that technical seemed completely unnecessary. I think a guy can be a little fired up to no one in particular for hitting what I believe was his 8th three of the game at the time. It looked like a fairly tame reaction of Duke’s part.

Yes. He wasn't taunting the other team. Just celebrating
