BU women

The Bradley women just won their second game under Armelia Horton. They beat Elon in the first game of the Georgia State Classic in Atlanta.
Final score: 66 Elon 59- https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=496716
Kayla Nelson lead Bradley with 19 points. They play Bethune-Cookman tomorrow at 1:30 pm CT.

The Bradley women are playing again this afternoon at the multi-team event in Atlanta.

I'm assuming coach is back tomorrow for the game against ISU in Normal.

I've not seen an announcement, and the pregame article does not mention Coach Popovec's return- https://bradleybraves.com/news/2023...-goes-on-the-road-to-play-illinois-state.aspx

However, their last game at South Dakota on Dec. 20 was the 10th and final game of her suspension.
Also, I spoke with play-by-play man Ed Hammond earlier today, and he was expecting her to be back tomorrow coaching the team.

Do you know if Coach Pop has been allowed to attend or run practices, or has she forced to remain completely away from her team?
 
Bradley lead much of the first 3 quarters, but ISU pulled ahead in the 4th quarter, and lead by as much as 9 points. Bradley made a comeback behind freshman Hallie Poock and sophomore Reagan Barkema to cut the lead to 2 points in the final second, but then they were forced to foul and time ran out giving ISU a 78-74 win in Coach Popovec's return.
Poock finished with 34 points. She was 12-21 overall and 7-11 from three. Barkema had 15 on 5-7 shooting from three.

One more note... Carolyn Waite played the last 2 seasons at Bradley and averaged 13.0 ppg as a freshman and a team-leading 12.9 ppg her sophomore year. She transferred to ISU and was averaging 11.1 ppg for the Redbirds. But today, she was held scoreless and was 0-6 from the floor.
 
What has happened to the women's team? They hung in vs Drake but where just annihilated by Northern Iowa. It was 60-30 at the half and finished 105-59; UNI shot 67.7 from the field and out rebounded BU 40-13. I know about the injuries but, well.. I was hoping to see them be more competitive this year.
