2025 BU commit- Matthew Zobrist

[yoda]

Evanston misses a three point attempt at the buzzer, Metamora knocks off another Top-10 4A opponent,
coming back from 13 points down.
Final score Metamora 61 - Evanston 58
Matthew Zobrist was in foul trouble much of the game, and sat out a bunch in both halves.
Unofficially, I believe it was mentioned that he had 18 but will have to wait for an official report.

ps -- here's a video of that winning shot by Matthew Zobrist with just 2 seconds left

Hey - trivia question...
When Matthew Zobrist plays next year, he will NOT be the first player at Bradley who is the SON of a former player.
Can anyone name at least 2 other players who also had fathers that played for Bradley?

Also- there could be yet another one on the horizon...
The 8th grade son of a BU Great is reportedly doing exceptionally well for Dunlap Middle School.
Any guesses who it might be?


I can think of five father/son combos:

Joe & Jerry Stowell

the game was tied at 41-41 then Metamora went as cold as ice. Too much dribbling & passing, declined decent shots and even tho they have
a Division I 6-9 guy down low, he virtually never touched the ball inside the 3-point arc. It was kind of puzzling.

[Da Coach]

Another stellar game tonight by Matt Zobrist. He had 31 points in Metamora's 66-62 loss to Normal Community.

[Da Coach]

Metamora won the Mid-Illini Conference title tonight with a 59-58 win over Dunlap.

here's a video clip from last night's game showing one of Matthew Zobrist's shots - it's a long, fade-away buzzer beater just before the 3rd quarter ended - and as the broadcaster states, he also did the same thing at the end of the 2nd quarter. This is really great, clutch shooting and I am excited to see MZobs bring this to the Hilltop- https://x.com/ClutchSportsIL/status/1892034304911270139

I am excited to have Matt coming to Bradley. He is a good shooter with great court awareness. He is a little loose dribbling the ball but that will get corrected real quick

No idea - care to share??? I would guess someone from the 2006 Sweet 16 squad?

I'm not local - don't hassle me!

Thanks DC - I am guessing the Ruffin combo considering the time when these guys played at BU...or maybe Sammy has a son named Carl, which I thought was his Dad's name.
