Judson is a private Christian university in Elgin, Illinois. Judson has an enrollment of about 1,300 students.
The Judson Eagles are an NAIA school and a member of the

Bradley is 2-1 after playing 3 games in 3 days at the Xavier Invitational. They have wins over Toledo and Oakland, and a 1-point loss to host Xavier U.
Judson has been playing since November 6, and already has had 9 games on their schedule.
Schedule-
http://www.judsoneagles.com/sport/me...20-21/schedule

They are 0-2 after losing their first 2 games, then their next 7 games were cancelled or postponed, presumably due to Covid-19 issues.
However, I am not able to find any reports that their basketball team was affected by players testing positive. But they have not played a game since November 7.
Last year (2019-20) they were 7-23, and 6-16 in the CCAC.

Roster-
http://www.judsoneagles.com/sport/me...2020-21/roster

The Judson roster shows 28 players in their team photo, and 27 players listed on their roster page. 16 players are assigned uniform numbers, and 11 of them played in one or both of their previous games.
They are coached by Head Coach Bruce Fields in his first season at Judson-

Stats-
http://www.judsoneagles.com/sport/me...l/season-stats

They have averaged 67 ppg through their 2 games, and they have shot 35.3% overall, and 32.3% from three.
Leading scorer is 5'11" senior guard Jordan Johnson who has an average of 19.0 ppg through 2 games.
6'1" senior guard KC Earls averages 13.3 ppg, 6'3" guard Darius Jones and 6'5" freshman G/F Matthew Lesch both average 10.5 ppg.

I usually don't make predictions, but Judson will be severely overmatched in this game.
It should be a good opportunity for some of Bradley's non-starters and freshmen to get more playing time.
 
Are any of these games being carried by any TV station or streaming? It is bad enough to not be able to go to the games but not being able to at least watch them on the TV or laptop really hurts

With the exception of this Judson game (ESPN3) and the game at Missouri on Dec. 22, which is on the SEC+ Network, no other future games are listed as having TV or streaming availability.
Bradley is working to try to make as many games as possible available to stream, but as of now, nothing has been announced.
 
Game day! This is the latest I can recall for a Bradley home opening game, but it's finally here!
Unfortunately, we can't watch it in person, but tune in to ESPN3 to watch online at 7:00 pm tonight-

Can't imagine our starters and first few off the bench play much more than the first half.

I was thinking the same. I would be shocked if there were guys that didn't play tonight. Everyone should get some minutes. I'm thinking we should see a good amount of Darius Hannah, Jayson Kent and probably Antonio Thomas assuming Bradley starts winning by alot.

Our deep bench should score at will. Hold em in the 20's in the first half and set the tone right out of the gates, attack the rim. I like starting Hannah at the 5 if been showing well in practice especially at the line. Hannah,Childs,Henry,Nolan,East.

Definitely agree that we'll see some extended minutes for Hannah and I am excited to see what he does. Would be nice if we saw some extended time from Thomas, Kent, and Hall, as well, but I think Coach wants to get a good amount of game experience for the starters to keep the rust off. Either way, we should see some of the younger kids for an extended period of time today!
 
3342- Take solace that your cardboard cutout will enjoy the game on your behalf tho!
 
About as I expected. Still a bit sloppy at times, missed a couple easy shots but overall they are doing their job. Liked what I was seeing from Mast and Ville tonight. Let's see if they can eclipse 100... I'm hoping they can. Also Hannah is a going to be a really really good by the time it's all said and done... As long as he's NOT shooting free throws.:):):)​​​​
 
I understand they are only playing Judson BUT this goes to show how each guy on this 9 or 10 man rotation for Bradley can contribute in some ways. McAdoo and Nolan not particularly the best night shooting, but still doing a lot. Love that everyone is having their moment, and once again Darius Hannah coming through big!
