Thanks.

In addition to the home game against Utah State on Nov. 11, Bradley might play Cal in the second game of the SoCal tournament in San Juan Capistrano on Nov. 22.
 
without even seeing the scrimmage and only hearing the final score ( L 87-49 to preseason 5th place MWC pick Colorado State)
Minnesota fans are melting down and, coming off a 9-win season & 2-17 in the Big Ten, they're already asking if a coaching change is in order...

In the Arizona State game, Peoria Manual's Adam Miller did not play, and was rumored held out pending NCAA waiver approval.
But - not good news, many of the most recent waivers for two-time transfer players are being denied.

They should be denied. Why have rules if you are not going to abide by them.
 
Nebraska played a closed scrimmage against Utah.
They played two separate 20 minute games and reportedly won one, lost one.
Rienk Mast did not play, unknown why.
Utah is picked 7th in the Pac-12.
 
Rienk Mast did not play, unknown why.
so we know why now, but …

fwiw— Loyola played a secret scrimmage against SIU (SIU’s head coach was asst at Loyola)
and it is being reported on Loyola’s forum that they clobbered SIU by 28 pts in a 40 min scrimmage

SIU had their media day this week, and head coach Bryan Mullins announced that center Cade Hornecker is out for a while with an ankle injury and might seek a redshirt. Also, one of their top freshman recruits Sheridan Sharp, a 6'3" point guard, has a fractured foot, and is out 6-8 weeks, and that a redshirt is an option for him as well. He was being counted on to play some minutes at point guard, where they don't have much depth.
 
Indiana State beat Cincinnati 70-68 this afternoon in a closed scrimmage. South Florida transfer Ryan Conwell lead them with 19 points.
 
In an open charity exhibition, Arkansas beat Purdue 81-77 in overtime

We get the very first look at SIU's Lance Jones who hit the portal last spring and bolted from SIU to Purdue.
Lance started at PG, played 26 1/2 minutes, went 2-11 and 1-5 from 3-pt, 9 pts, just 1 rebound, 2 asst & 2 turnovers
 
BU vs. Mizzou... Sat. in St. Louis.

Bradley ended up losing the scrimmage with Missouri, though BU stayed in contention.
From what I am hearing, Bradley reserves got significant minutes, especially late. In a real game, the coaches probably would play it differently.
It sounds like it was good experience for the Braves.
No stats are available at this time.
 
The top 6 - with the exception of Duke - didn’t play the last 8 minutes is what I heard.

That is correct Bengal Fan. Coach Wardle elected not to play his top guys too many minutes, and pulled them midway through the 2nd half.
Coach Gates of Missouri stayed with his starters most of the way from there.
