Wow. Another tight one. I was hoping it wasn't going to be a so close.

However, Sam Maniscalco is such an amazing player for a freshman. Way to take the game on your shoulders Sam. Draw the foul. Sink two free-throws for the win!
 
Let me tell ya.......10.7 on the clock with UE taking out the ball.........there were things running thru my head!:lol: But tonight we handled it better and isu lost.........YES!:mrgreen: Everyone played tonight and SM and TW ahd big nights....SS hit a couple key give and goes from MS or TW! DC, RA and WE all played tonight!:cool:

My hat goes off to 22 on UE....I think he hit 6 3's?:o:
 
Evansville shot 100% on their 3's in the second half (5-5) and an incredible 15-21 (65%) for the game. I still can't figure out why teams shoot the 3 against Bradley so well. Some is defense or lack thereof, but some just can't be explained.

I wouldn't say that....JC stole the ball with about 6 secs left...in fact he had another steal before that one and they called it a foul....it was clean!:wink:
 
I'm glad for the win...and the fact that UE only took 5 3's in the second half..but my gosh a winless team at home and it's all we can do to win.
I thought UE played pretty poor defense most of the game and luckily TW had the game of his life so far anyway.

I don't know...we win but it's hard to be excited about it.

I thought Simmons was class going to Holsinger at the end of the game
 
First of all I want to congratulate Evansville on the game. In particular Jason Holsinger just played a fantastic game and Marty Simmons let him know at the end how he felt in spite of the turnover. Very classy move by Coach Simmons. It was also touching to watch Coach Merfeld interact with the Purple Aces.

Theron Wilson redefined Jim’s 24 hour rule. What Drake loss and bad performance? Amazing comeback by Theron. And Sam Maniscalco, what can you say? The kid, and he is still just a kid, is as cool as they come. He obviously wants the ball and relishes crunch time. It is going to be fun to watch this kid play for another 3 ?? seasons.

BU! BU! BU!
 
Theron had zero turnovers, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists to go along with his 28 points. Nice game TW!
 
Another interesting thing tonite...everybody played really. WE. RA,DC...SS didn't play until the second half.....but more players got into the game...I still would like to se JC get a little more rest but that's the way it goes
 
WOW!

So many things!

-No Merfeld on the floor before the game.... (?, but comment later)
-Tight calls the 1st half, we fought thru it and overcame (but I don't like the whining after a call... JL, tell the players not to complain or whine about a call they disagree about, that's Merf's job ;) )
-I missed Shouse at the half - that ticks me off, was a friend of mine while I was on the Hilltop
-DC did ok
-RA was ok
-We had 2 bigs in at same time (MS with DC and MS with SS I believe) and it was ok
-As much "hate" MS has gotten, that guy has fire in his belly and tries to get the other bigs to work harder (saw it up close 1st hand in his interaction with the other players)
-TW with a great game! (btw, TW you are my FAVE!)
-SM.... Coach Beuscher said it best. When he went out in the 1st 1/2 with foul trouble, the team hurt and it showed. SM has a very positive effect on this team. As much as I will miss DR after this year, I will equally love (if not more) SM's career over the next 3 1/2 seasons!

.... maybe more later .....
 
Wanted to comment about Merf.

I noticed he wasn't on the floor early on around the time of lineups. Thought maybe he was off recruiting or scouting. Then there he was.... not long into the game.

After the game was over (tho I did get a little distracted), I wanted to make a point to observe Merf in the Handshakes... I missed some (conversing with people) but from what I saw.... I felt it.

I understand, now, why Merf wasn't around at the start (I think). It WAS emotional. And I think it was a classy move by Merf and Bradley not to have him around during the lineups. There isn't bad blood there.... those kids were close with him and vice versa. Just saving the emotions til it was over.

Anyway - that's my take on it.

Click to expand...

These are my thoughts exactly. Exciting ending and I'm glad we pulled it out this time, but the fact that this game was so close shows we are nowhere near where we should be.

I cannot say enough good things about Sam M., though. Two games in a row he has scored to put us up with 10 seconds to go. He seems to be stepping into Will Franklin's role from last season as the guy who hits the big shots in the clutch. If he had been where he is now when we played Vandy and/or MSU, we might have won those games.
 
Looks like this team will be ****************ed if they win and ****************ed if they lose. Keep plugging guys, you are still the best show in town.
 
Was it just me, or did out D look horrible. (Duh, we gave up that many points to Evansville..)
We'd kinda loose a UE guy who would get the ball, fake a shot, we'd jump at the shot and land 5 feet past the guy with the ball, then they'd get a perfectly clean look at a 3 :(

Huge relief to pul this one out.
