Final score: Bradley 83 SIU 60

Status
Not open for further replies.
At SIU, NIU, and Drake I will be glad to take any win and walk out the door with no injuries. Remember the way SIU plays defense.
 
Recall last season's game in Carbondale... Bradley came into the game on a 6-game win streak and was favored at SIU (by 1.5 points), but Bradley fell behind quickly.
Bradley shot just 33% in the first half and trailed by 21 points at halftime, 24-45.
SIU increased their lead to 23 points early in the 2nd half (24-47), before the Braves finally got hot.
Bradley shot 70% in the 2nd half and finished at 50% for the game.
The Braves outscored SIU 46-24 in the 2nd half to make a historic comeback and win by one point (70-69).​

The 23 point come-from-behind win was the largest comeback in Bradley basketball history.

It was Bradley's 7th win in a row, and they went on to win 9 straight, and 11 of 12. The only loss in that stretch was an overtime loss at Indiana State - https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/schedule/_/id/71/season/2024

By the way, Bradley has won the last 2 years in Carbondale. In the 2022-23 season, it was Rienk Mast's 3-pointer in the final seconds, with the assist from Connor Hickman, that put Bradley ahead for good, and gave them a 50-48 win. - https://x.com/BradleyUMBB/status/1627412367486091264​
 
I am sure like most Bradley fans, that everyone is excited to watch our Valley refs return to mid-season form
and whistle 50-60 fouls in this game...while forcing most of our starting lineup to the bench in the first 10 minutes...

wonder what the over/under is on 50 or more fouls

Not the same SIU team, this team hasn't played defense like they have in the past.

That is true.
Also, they are a bit weak inside. Hopefully, if the 3 point shots aren't falling, Bradley can exploit the inside.
The only true big men on their team are-
Antwaun Massey, a 6'8" forward who transferred from New Mexico Junior College- he has started all 8 games and averages 19.8 minutes, 4.5 points, and 4.1 rebounds per game. He's not a 3-point threat (only made 4 in 8 games)
Rolyns Aligbe, a 6'9" freshman forward. He has only appeared in 6 of their 8 games and averages 15.2 minutes, who averages 5.5 points, 5.3 rebounds. He is also not a 3-point threat (made 1 in 6 games out of 4 attempts).
Jorge Moreno is the only other true inside player at 6'11", 270 pounds. He is a junior college transfer from Lee College in Texas. He only averages 6.3 minutes, 2.7 points, and 2.0 rebounds per game, and has not attempted a three yet.

Can someone please tell this guy to look at the BU roster when he calls out our players? How many times has he screwed up their names by mistakenly calling them by their SIU counterpart jersey number! Geesh dude, do some homework before the game!

Man, I hope we don’t see that. Those high foul games suck the life out of me.
 
Any word on Duke Dean? Went to the locker room early in the 2H and hasn't returned to the bench with less than 4min to go.
