Final score: Bradley 82 Texas State 68

[Big Mike]

Nice to see Davis get a career high today...well deserved!
Need to tighten up on the FT shooting. Turnovers were good, get some rest for the next game , hopefully Duke smiling means the knee is not a serious injury!

Final score- Bradley 82 Texas State 68 - https://stats.statbroadcast.com/statmonitr/?id=558302

Terrific game by Christian Davis- Career-high 21 points, 6-10 overall, 4-5 from three
Zek (13 points), Duke (12 points, 8 assists), and Darius (16 points, 7 rebounds) all had nice games. Meta had a few nice moments, and lead the team with 8 rebounds
Bradley 52% overall and 44% on threes.

The bad- Texas State had 40 of their 68 points from inside the paint- way too many layups.
They also had 20 points from the line (20-27)

Semifinal game tomorrow at 4 pm.

Wright State wins, they face BU Friday at 4pm

I thought Thomas came in and gave us some help, need to find a way to get him more minutes. Refs called a good first half and then decided to wear their whistles out the second half. Some of the fouls on BU in the second half were just not fouls. We definitely need to get better as far as making free throws.

FT shooting so far this season has been GREAT! As long as it doesn't make a difference in an easier win like tonight, it's ok.
Very pleased with FT shooting and 3-point % so far this season, which are HUGE to getting back to MVC champs!

How good has D-H Bomb (Darius Hannah) been this season, and the steady incline he's made since Year 1?

So far this season: 74% FG; 58% 3-pt shooting! Already has 7 three-pointers, with only 1 make all of last season!

His FT shooting by season:
28%
32%
54%
61%
70%

Quietly making a case for MVC POY if he continues to perform steadily like this, but I expect Duke to heat up with the start of Valley games.

Our 3-point shooters are plentiful this season, as we've got 5 reliable perimeter shooters in Duke, Davis, Atlason, Zek, and C-Dilly, with an unexpected long-range weapon in Hannah!

Current 3-pt % (after Texas St. game):
Hannah 58% (7 made)
Dillon 56% (5 made)
Davis 53% (9 made)
Almar 49% (9 made)
Zek 44% (7 made)
Duke 34% (11 made; We KNOW he can and WILL light it up!)

Let's not forget Burch is a decent perimeter shooter, as he connected on around 40% his Freshman season and is 1 for 1 before he got injured.
