Bradley 74 Evansville 64 - Final

A little sloppy but a win is a win and the win was never in doubt! Let's get ready for the next most important game. Keep it rolling!
 
It wasn't a very inspiring game. But it's still a win. Maybe it was because Evansville didn't expect to win and we feed off that for our play. It seemed to me that both teams came out looking tired, just kind of walking around with slouched shoulders, maybe it's the weather, maybe it's what some call the' trap game' mindset, maybe looking forward to CU Wednesday. We'll definitely need to play better to beat CU Wednesday.
 
just got back from game...good to get a win but have been to more entertaining games. we are on a roll. go braves.
 
W is a W. Did like the crowd today tho, student section filled up quite nicely. Good win today Braves. Now go get Creighton
 
Another solid game by each starter, and good games off the bench by Sam singh, DSE, and Jake Eastman.

With ISU's loss, Bradley is now tied for 3rd place, and with Wichita State's loss, anything is possible.

I heard fans talking about winning out being a possibility! Bradley has 5 more home MVC games (ISU, WSU, CU, DU, and UNI) and road games at Indiana State, Evansville, ISU, and CU. I think winning 7 of the 9 is quite realistic, and the way BU is playing, all are winnable.

When will we see the column saying, "Ooops, we were wrong, the best was yet to come".
 
Box score-

Bradley with 5 players in double figures.
Evansville's leading scorer, Colt Ryan, took 15 shots (5-15 and 2-8 on threes) to get 12 points.
BU outrebounded UE 35-25.
Great shooting- 25-48 overall (52.1%), and 7-12 from three (58.3%).
Another nice day at the FT line for BU (17-22 for 77.3%)
Excellent defense- UE was just 22-56 overall (39.3%) and only 6-20 from three (30%).
Will Egolf with another tremendous game- 11 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, and a bunch of tipped passes in just 23 minutes.

Attendance 9,765.
 
Nice crowd today...WE had an even better game than the box score indicated.

Still not sure what SS gives you that AT couldn't.

Wonder what's going on with EM. DSE and JE appear to have passed him up.

Starters logged too many minutes against a team like Evansville. We should have put them away earlier and been able to coast.

But, a win is a win. Let's take 3rd all alone on Wednesday.
 
I saw former Bradley players at today's game-
Reggie Hall, Gus Mason, Phil Gilbert, Marcello Robinson, Danny Adams, and, of course, Carl Maniscalco.
Jake Eastman's mom and dad (Boston Celtics' assistant coach Kevin Eastman) were also at the game, as were Andrew Warren's mom and Dad, and Sam Singh's dad.
I hope I didn't miss to many other VIP visitors!:D
 
Allow 37 2nd half points to Evansville I would imagine does not make Les to happy, and it shouldnt. To many open looks and defensive breakdowns in both halfs of the game. Zoning them in the first half was not a great idea, we do not rotate well in a zone.

Is it me or does everyone make every ft they shoot against us? 12-12 for Eville in the 2nd half and 14-16 overall. A win is a win but defensively if we play that way Wednesday we will not win. Also they were 16 assists to 9 turnovers and I dont recall but maybe 2 or 3 actual fastbreak opportunities.

There was a mention on the postgame about EM's hand (injury?), but that was all I heard..
