Can we all agree that this team (D.Brown most specifically) is entirely different at home as opposed to on the road? Take out the Kansas St. game and the home/away difference is astounding.

I agree Tommy. Totally different team at home. I like Dubs post too. I know it was just one game but I really like Thomas at the point and Brown at the shooting guard. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to mix things up a little bit

Here is an interesting trend... after each of Bradley's 4 losses, they bounced back with perhaps their best 4 games of the season, winning each by double-digits+.
After the opening night loss at St. Joseph's, Bradley played a terrific game and pummeled IUPUI by 34 points 90-56.
After the loss to Northwestern, they bounced back the next night with possibly their most impressive win over a good Kansas State team 73-60.
After losing at Memphis, they came back and played another terrific game against NC A&T and clobbered them by 31 points, 83-52.
And after the disappointing loss at Miami, they bounced back to easily knock off the top MAC team Toledo 78-66.

Now we need the Braves to bottle that energy and the type of game they showed in each of those bounce-back games following losses,

I had noticed this as well, and you can’t chalk it all up to home vs away, since one of the “loss / bounce back” cycles was on a neutral court. I think what it shows is that we have the talent and game plan to win, and our deficiencies show up as lapses in mental toughness and attitude. While it’s not good to have that propensity, it’s likely more fixable than lacking in size, strength, or coaching, etc.
