Chris Roberts 14
Dodie Dunson 13
Sam Maniscalco 12
Anthony Thompson 10 plus 8 rebounds!!

Eddren McCain 8 pts, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

BOTH Will Egolf & Sam Singh were ailing and WE did not play
 
one blogger says the BU score is the surprise of the tourney so far!!

(translated from Portugese)
..."The result that draws more attention is the beating of Bradley
(98 th ranking in the NCAA) on Bauru (6 in NBB), even without L. Taylor
(50% of the time)."

His meaning is that Bradley's RPI was only 98th best in NCAA D-I and yet BU thrashed
the 6th best team in the top pro division in Brazil...this was NOT expected!!
 
I love Bradley basketball starting in August. Early games and early team practices to build some cohesion. I cant wait for a full Carver Arena in the winter.

P.S. I haven't said much lately because I have nothing pertinent to add. However, I have been lurking to keep up-to-date on the Braves. I am sure I speak not only for myself, but many others when we say thank you to anyone who is keeping us privy to the happenings in Brazil and for the rest of the preseason.
 
thanks Fyrebyrd --

Guys... this is just a foreign tour exhibition.

If they aren't working on fundamentals, then something is wrong. Bradley should be struggling. We should be reading/hearing about what Bradley needs to do to get better.

Wanted to beat Debbie-Downers to it.

awesome...love those BLACK uniforms!!

I wanna buy one at the auction!!

BTW-- note BU outscored Bauru 71 - 39 over the final 3 quarters..
wow, a 32 pt margin over the final three periods!
 
TB is a stud, and I don't think a whole lot of the teams we play this year will have anyone who matches up.
 
I doubt it means there is any discussion about changing the uniforms. Those are just their black practice jerseys.

I hope so. Kavanagh was the only reason we didn't.

So KK was the only one in favor of Bradley wearing their colors?

I'm not opposed to black because it is black. I am opposed to brown, purple, green, yellow, etc (including black)... cause they aren't the school colors.

I am for Red (actually crimson) and White. Bradley's colors.

"North American team is highlighted in the opening World Cup of basketball EPTV
From UOL Esporte
In Sao Paulo
Preparatory tournament for the Campeonato Paulista and next to New
Basketball Brazil, EPTV Cup of Basketball had its first round this Wednesday.
The U.S. team has Bradley Braves was the highlight of the opening of the
competition to run over the Bauru by 83 to 58, in the gym Olaio Milton Filho,
in San Carlos.

In another match held in San Carlos, the Araraquara won a fierce match
against Paulistano by 58 to 51. "We lost to a team that played with more
force and determination. They deserved win," said the technical team of the
Capital, Jo??o Marcelo Leite.

Two more games, held in the gymnasium of the Club Pirassununga, closed
the first round of the competition. The Sao Jose dos Campos did not work
to defeat the XV de Piracicaba by 112 to 77. We have won Assis S??o Jos?©
do Rio Pardo for 75 to 62.

The teams return to court this Thursday for the second round. In San Carlos,
Bauru Paulistano and seek rehabilitation at 18h (de Bras?­lia time). Then the
Bradley Braves facing the Araraquara. Already in Pirassununga, the Sao Jose
dos Campos to maintain its invincibility in the face of S??o Jos?© do Rio Pardo,
at 18h. The XV de Piracicaba play against Assisi, at 20h."



Also this article, but they are a little dishonest in saying why their home team lost!
Note that they say...
"with a game of great intensity, constant rotation of 12 players on court, strong defense
and excellent use of the pitches outside, the Americans turned the
confrontation."

gimme a break...Bradley had 12 players on the court?? They didn't even have 12 players on the trip and they sure didn't have 12 players available!!

"Copa EPTV

The GRSA / Itabom lost his first match in the Copa EPTV, preparatory
competition for the dispute of the Paulista Championship. The
bauruenses were defeated by the Bradley Braves in Illinois,
U.S., by 83 to 58, held in the gym on game Milton Olaio Son, in San Carlos. It was
the first departure of GRSA / Itabom after the pre-season and played team
shorn of owner Larry Taylor. Moreover, he felt the lack of pace of
play.

The team led by technical Guerrinha came to win the first two and was
partial to the interval with two points of advantage. But with a game
of great intensity, constant rotation of 12 players on court, strong defense
and excellent use of the pitches outside, the Americans turned the
confrontation. The Official City failed to contact Guerrinha to comment on
the result.
Bauruense The team returns to court today, at 18h, before Paulistano, who
yesterday lost to Araraquara by 58 to 51 in another part of the

group of Group 1. The first two of each key will end the tournament on
Saturday. The second of each group agree on the same day, the third and
fourth placed third and the fifth and sixth. Group 2 consists of Assisi, XV de
Piracicaba, S??o Jos?© dos Campos, S??o Jos?© do Rio Pardo."
