Final Score: Bradley 74 UIC 47

We play like this in the second half and we will be done. Unforced turnovers is once again keeping the opposing team in the game. Hickmans passes have been pathetic. Deen has not scored and Atlason looks lost out on the floor.

Wardle must've opened some eyes during half.

I'd love to see some starters getting rest, but 529 and they are still out there.

We should have had Sam, Cade, Goanar, Thomas and Meta in for the last three minutes and for the rest of the game.

Man, Meta is a better man than me. If a guy would have dunked on me down 30 and then taunted ... I sure wouldn't have just walked away.

We woke up and played tough and did not commit stupid turnovers. Hickman made up for his mistakes in the second half by nailing a bunch of 3 pointers.Burch looked great tonight. When we take care of the ball we are good at making shots. Congrats on coming out in the second half and playing like you are capable and blowing out UIC.

Any word on how Cade is ? He took a pretty hard hit and his back was sore and most importantly it looked like he hit the back of his head on the floor.

Terrific 2nd half. Bradley lead at halftime 27-25 after a sluggish first 20 minutes. But then they dominated the 2nd half outscoring UIC 47-22 in the final 20 minutes to win 74-47. Bradley lead by as much as 34 points, but then did not score a basket in the final 2:40, which allowed UIC to cut the final margin to 27 points.

Connor Hickman had a team-leading 20 points and he was 6-9 from three. Duke Deen was 3-4 from three.
What a fun game to watch!

Ok....glad we won.....but to beat Drake Braves gonna have play 2 good halves.....

[Dub]

Seems like we have 2 modes. When we hit the aggressive and confident mode, we crush people. Is this something you can turn on and off? If so, leave it on.

Our Jeckyl and Hyde personality was on full display last night. That second half was something else as we held them without a FG for over 11 minutes. Hopefully Cade doesn’t have a concussion but it looked nasty. Today it’s payback time against Drake whose fans are as about as bad as Wichita and Creighton fans were back in the day. Kick their ass boys!

Pretty sure we saw Connor tweak his ankle again about 5 min mark or so. Trainers were trying to take him back to bench during TO but he stayed out with the team. Never came back in. Which we were up big, but hope that doesnt foul up his shot again

And that's why you take your starters out when you're up by 30 late in the 2nd half, with another game the following day. So frustrating.

[Da Coach]

Connor's ankle ligaments have never healed fully, and they are subject to continued tweaking. His ankle will heal after the season ends and he has an extended period of time to give it adequate rest. But I expect he will be ready to play today and for the remaining games this season.
