I'll probably get deleted AGAIN because I don't toe the party line anymore. But that was one STINKY game between two VERY BAD teams.

Just plain YUCK. I've seen better hoops at the 4th grade level.

Flame (or delete) away!

Just tell the truth and let the chips fall......


Agree...THAT was painful to watch. Hopefully it was rust and playing to your competition.

Weds should tell us more.
 
Man! I must be REALLY jaded because I kind of liked what I saw tonight. :eek: The Braves convinced me tonight that they CAN compete in the MVC this year.

Don't worry...if thats what you saw...great. We all see it differently. While I saw SOME good things we beat a horrible team by 9 points. Of course the entire MVC is down so who knows.

Dogs I agree JP was one area I liked. That was two bad teams going head to head and JS was worse then us. I agree the MVC is down this year but I think we will get a good idea if we can compete on the 29th. Hope I'm wrong but I don't really think we can. Thought ISU blue looked pretty good against Purdue. We'll see on the 29th.Go Braves
 
Not the prettiest "W" I have seen but did like some things:

1: Prosser played great and if that continues that will be a plus
2: JP, WE, & AT had 21 points-that is what we have been saying we need all along-though we still need more rebounding from them
3: We started a bigger line up and it wasn't all bad
4: AW and do I need to say more
5: WLjr is a stud but wish he didn't try to be so flashy
6: They played 30 minutes of very good "D"-they still need to ass that other 10 mnutes
7: They played hard all night and for the most part never took a play off

As far as Detroit we will see if any of this carries over-They are a big athletic team

But they did lead by double digits most of the night. Even with the sloppiness at times, they showed they can dominate a team when they want to.

But PLEASE learn how to finish a game! Enough of the missed free throws at the end of games, even ones where the game has already been wrapped up!
 
At this point anything better than a EIU sleep walk is an improvement. Just glad to see a W.

If WE doesn't learn how to stay in the game on Wed night, we're losing by double digits. Detroit has a very good big we'll have to deal with. Beat Detroit, and I'm optimistic again.
 
Detroit has not lived up to expectations thus far. They lost to all the good teams on their schedule, lost at home to an Akron team that has not been impressive, and also lost at a mediocre Western Michigan team. If BU doesn't beat them at home, expecting anything better than a Thursday night date in STL will be expecting too much once MVC play starts.
 
Well ya we won and that is right now the most important thing.

Giving up 35 points to Jackson State in one half, being out boarded by 4 to Jackson State, committing 14 turnovers against an extremely soft Jackson State defense and Will Egolf playing only 14 minutes and committing 4 fouls against a very bad Jackson State team are all disappointing.

Will Egolf and his inablilty to stay out of foul trouble is the most disappointing.

This Bradley team would have really been fun to watch at a full strength. This team will likely win a few games but the offense struggles so bad it makes watching very difficult.

But it really would be interesting to see Will Egolf play 30 minutes and see if he could ever get in a flow and see if he could help out offensively.

A healthy Jake Eastman does make a difference.

I agree with a lot of what you said in this post. 2 of the Egolf fouls were terrible, terrible calls, so I won't give him too much grief. If he can start staying in the game, I think he becomes an impact player. You can see an increased confidence in his game, and his shot has started falling. Now that he can play more of the 4, his more natural position, he will continue to improve.

I definitely don't agree with brocks...I saw a bit of a spark today that I haven't seen this season. I think we will see whether or not this team is real on Wednesday.

Eastman played a very nice game, some great passes, good defense. I wish he would look to shoot more often.

Agreed...the win is nice, they always are but lets see what the next two games bring. That will tell us alot more then beating a team we SHOULD beat.

I 100% agree. He needs to become more selfish and look to shoot. 27 minutes and only 3 shots. But he just is solid. You can see the difference he makes when healthy. He isnt lightening quick or jump over guys but he gets in space, handles the ball well and is able to positiion his body defensively and rebounding and makes smart decisions with the ball... something Milos needs to take note of.

He though has to develop a scorers mentality. Shoot the ball. JC didnt get that back until he was a Junior and when he got it he was fantastic.
