Final score: UNI 83 Bradley 69

We look like we are lost, too many guys standing around and we continue to over dribble. Refs have not helped with the way they have called fouls on our bigs. The players had better get their sh-t together because UNI is not that good. We beat a lot of better teams on the road then this team and cannot afford another loss.
 
4th on Meta....Bradley should just waive the white flag now....standi ng around on both ends of the court....no signs of life....Meta and Bully on 2 players to show up today!:oops: :oops: :oops:
 
The three guys that have the most NIL money are playing like crap. Wardle just shakes his head sit them I don’t want to see the lazy pass, turnover and bad shots. Let the bench play sick of it.
 
We won't beat a DII school if our three best players go 3-for-18 with 6 total points.

This is totally a confidence thing and as horrendous as this feels, this switch could literally flip next game. At this point all that matters is get flying again by STL and stay in the top 4. I still think at our best we are still the best in the conference. But we are light years away from that level right now.
 
Zek’s lazy pass to start the half says it all about us lately. I remember he would get lazy his first couple years here and had to prove he could play defense before Brian started playing him more. That laziness has returned lately and it’s highly disappointing. His defensive and passing effort are so nonchalant. It’s sad because he is our most talented player.

I love a good shooter and thought Atlason would be our next great one, but why are we playing him over Thomas at this point in this year? He hasn’t shot well in a long time and he is NOT a 5 as I’ve been saying all year, which makes him a defensive liability at that spot.

Duke’s not leading the league in minutes or anything but he looks exhausted lately. I guess that’s the down side to a shorter guard being your leading scorer is he has to work so hard to get open, because he is a focus of the defense and shorter.

I was not a fan of Meta getting major minutes early in the year, but he’s actually become a solid rotation piece outside of playing bigger athletic bigs. He and Johnson are the only two on this roster that have improved this year. Two guys that in an ideal world would be your 6th and 7th guys. That’s a problem and it’s getting late in the year.
 
Right now there is zero leadership on the court....Dean 2 pts, Zeke 2 pts and Hannah 3 pts....just taking a beating with zero fight, no heart or pride...:mad:
 
The Good News....The Regular Season is Meaningless except to be top 4 to get the first round bye! I prefer Bradley stays at 2nd seed because the 7th place team will probably be weaker then the the 5th seed. March really is all that matters so will see then who is the Best team!

I’m curious, do you guys think our record would be better if BW coached differently, specifically concerning his substitution patterns? I agree that at times it seems unusual, but in the end, he seems to get results and always seems to have us playing good, usually our best ball as post-season starts.
I don’t think that BW coaches to win every game. I think he coaches to teach and prepare for the post-season. I could be wrong. Would be an interesting question to pose to him if given the chance.

To quote Michael Corleone, “ If you wish, you can have my answer now…”

Absolutely! This team is lost - certainly not improving as the season wears on
 
It's going to be tremendous karma if running up the score and leaving your starters in up 30 comes back to bite UNI. You better believe the players and coaching staff will remember this - last game of the season is in Peoria against these guys.
 
Other teams have obviously scouted Bradley at both ends of the floor. They could have easily lost two or three more games. It does not appear they are capable of adjusting to what other teams do against them.

The regular season shouldn’t have been meaningless this year. That’s the frustration.

Johnson might be my favorite player now. He is so tough and continues to get better. I hope he sticks around, cause he seems like the kind of tough leader we need (and he shouldn’t have to be that as a freshman).

Core of next year's team with the three recruits we have? The conference if showing Wardle the type of recruits he should be looking for. We need athletic big men with some muscle.

It just looks like they are sick or he has just lost the team. Hopefully I am wrong. This should stop talk of Wardle to Iowa.
