Final: Drake 71 Bradley 66

I wanted to do this separate from my previous post because these are my feelings about our next games. With our road record you just can't assume we'll beat Drake. They shoot the 3 and we will leave shooters wide open. We will need to switch on their screens on defense and make sure Barnes gets some shots in the 1st half. Loyola seems to be a team we match up well against but it's hard to beat a team 3 times in a season. Can't worry about ISU Blue if we don't beat Loyola. Just get er done boys.

Coach - Has Bobby Parker confirmed this? I would understand if they used a different service, but their streaming service is the same as BU. Seems like it should be a pretty simple thing to make it available to current B TV subscribers. Maybe the link will show up closer to game time?

If not, the Drake website shows a price of $4.95 for 24 hour access, but don't think I would pay for a final regular season game that doesn't mean too much at this point. WMBD Radio is free, and I like the announcers better anyway!

I sent an email and got one back 2 days ago that said Drake was agreeable to share the video feed with BU.tv. That was the last I heard. I expected to see a link on the Bradley website, but so far there still isn't one.

There was another Letter to the editor in the editorial page in the Journal Star today about the demise of Bradley basketball

I just read the latest opinion column in todays paper (Saturday 3/1) by Andrew Farraher. His column is titled "BU mascot a joke, along with basketball program".
For some reason, the column is not linked on the web page. But it is the most scathing criticism of the mascot and the entire Bradley program that the PJ Star has printed yet. I'd encourage everyone to read it.

There is now a video link when you launch the B TV video player.

As for Andrew Farraher's letter, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But why all the hate on Kaboom? And like I care what Keith Olberman thinks...
 
Walt Lemon did not start - rumor that he missed a practice..

Drake playing poorly - we need to put them away and not let them back into the game
This may be the best game we've played on the road shooting 60% from the floor -maybe Walt needs to come off the bench and throw the opponents' game plan off every game.
 
Live stats-http://www.godrakebulldogs.com/liveStats/v2/basketball/index.dbml?GAME_STAT_ID=1542811&db_oem_id=15700

Bradley is 15-26 (57.7%), and 4-8 from three (50%)

Hlaftime score-
Bradley 37
Drake 26
 
we were 4-7 'til that last second half-court attempt by Walt...
Van Deest needs only 18 pts to reach Drake's 1000-pt club
but he has zero in the first half
 
clearly the Drake coaching staff made some huge adjustments at the half - while we clearly are in cruise control mode and now look shell-shocked...

That was pretty quick losing the 11-pt lead to open the half
 
Chad Kleine with a GREAT suggestion...
how 'bout we guard the guys who are killing us from he 3-pt line?

newsflash - Drake is the top 3-pt shooting team in the MVC and utilizes the 3-pointer more than anyone...
did we not see the tapes? They also are weak in the post - even their forwards shoot threes...
If Hawley played us all the time he'd be MVC Player of the Year


Our story all year - we can't stop them inside and we can't stop them outside
 
Bradley gives up their 11-pt halftime lead
and loses at Drake..
71-66

Bradley falls to 12-19 and plays next Thursday evening at 8:35PM vs. Loyola

again our post play was non-existent - XT 0-1, zero pts, 1 rebound - long, long way to go....
If you have a marginally good game only about once in every five outings - how can any sane person say this is what you want for the future or that he's vastly improved??
Please - let's call a moratorium on claims that he was a recruiting coup....Anthony Thompson gave us more...
