Bradley men's scrimmage- Sunday, Nov. 5

With all the guard talent it’s going to be interesting to see how Wardle makes PT decisions. Knowing he likes to run a systematic approach, will Kingsby and Thomas get a PT boost initially having been in the system, or will the new guys break into the lineup right away? Nolan and McAdoo have been in the system a year... just not in games. That leaves the very talented East as a true newcomer to the system, but not to high level competition. I’ll predict he doesn’t start at PG from day one, but could win the spot down the road.... but I could be wrong on either end. Wardle has a keen sense of who he’s comfortable with, even if that’s not the guy with the highest talent ceiling every time. Hopefully everybody embraces team goals over personal goals, and sticks with the program. It is fun to see we’ve got guards that can finish at the rim as well as from outside. Nolan and McAdoo outperformed my expectations. Boya’s confidence is resulting in more productivity, but this is a scrimmage without fans. Could the “no fans” issue this year improve our road record?

Dead on Dub.

Was there any record of fouls? I am hoping that Boya can stay out of foul problems this year.

I don't think they kept complete stats, so we won't likely see foul numbers. I recall Ari getting one or maybe two fouls, but despite the fast tempo and a lot of driving to the basket, I thought he did very well avoiding unnecessary contact. But he does go for the block whenever he can (according to Dave Reynolds he had "at least 4 blocks"), and the MVC refs do like to call fouls on blocks even when it's questionable.
 
I watched it previously but you are right I don’t see it available on the athletics YouTube channel now. My only thought would be that they might have taken it down to make it more difficult for other Early season opponent teams to scout us. As I remember they used to avoid video of preseason games for this reason.
