Shorter Bench

it's boogie time said:
Bradley's next opponent, Indiana State, only plays 7 people now. Four guys had over 34+ minutes in their last game against Drake. It'll basically be the same guys on the court for both teams on Tuesday night.

I know we are coming off a major win with basically a 6-man rotation, but wouldn't you want to just throw everything you have at InSU's short bench and try to run them out of the building? Lots of guys, lots of rest and keep things very high tempo?

I wouldn't count on seeing Milos or AT if that's what you're saying.

Not sure about Milos at this point, but I would like to get AT and Edge some minutes if at all possible as I hope they'll also get a few in our STL run.


Recall that during the run in 06 to the championship, Heemskerk and Adams who didn't play many minutes got in during the St. Louis trip.

Big difference with that team, they went 8 deep not counting Adams, Heemskerk, or Crouch. Only 2 players on that team averaged more than 30 minutes with Sommerville at just under 32 and Tony Bennett at just above 30.

I agree real fan. Think of the great BU teams of the past and there were always 2 players with 35+ and another with 32+. I'd like to see SM, AW, and TB log 35+/game, with WE and DSE at 25+.

Right now AW and SM are at 34 mpg in conference so that's about right. TB is close but needs another 4-5 mpg. DSE and WE both need more, however. WE has been hurt by foul trouble and DSE is picking up more minutes every game. I like where things are headed leading into St. Louis. Might we pull off a shocker? (literally;) )

The other reason why we should be able to get 35 minutes out of our players is that the officials are not calling as many fouls like before so as long as you don"t commit dumb fouls you should not have any foul trouble.

Depends on which crew you get...


Pollard for example last I checked had called the 2nd most fouls in all of Div 1 per game.

If I recall correctly, KA was mainly a factor after a couple bad calls put us in foul trouble AND Koch spent his life at the line when Pollard and Co. got real whistle happy

Eh. I am not discounting some bad whistles by Pollard; those are a given. The 'T' was absurd. But we had plenty of time left in the game to overcome those and didn't. They beat us 3 times last year; I have a hard time complaining too much. They were better.
