Les can run 5 a days for the rest of the season but this team will not win road games in the conference shooting

65% from the line

And scoring 65 points a game. Both of those numbers are a great recipe for play in game status.

Oh and I sincerely hope Les has devised some sort of offensive scheme to issolate Brown or Warren and take advantage of their skill. Rather then the dribble around the 3 point line using useless high screens from our 5's. Get the ball to your two best players and let them go to work.

You can add CR to the equation. The other play would be to isolate MK and AW on the same side where both can hit the 3 or hit the mid-range.

I personally don't think isolations and 1-on-1 play is going to get this team anywhere. Warren and Brown are our two most talented scorers, but I don't think either of them is talented enough to take a team on their backs and score every time down in pure 1-on-1. College basketball is a team game, and too often I feel like our offense breaks down to a point where we actually are going 1-on-1, and that hasn't worked out well. If we're not going to run-and-gun and take advantage of our athleticism, we should run more set plays to get Warren and Brown shots (run them off screens, post them up, etc), rather than just giving them the ball and saying 'go'. Maybe that's what you were trying to say too, just thought I would add my 2 cents.

I personally don't see why we don't/can't run a hi-lo game with TB at the L and WE on the block, or vice-versa. Both guys can score from there with their eyes closed. Run that successfully a few times and Andrew Warren will have all the open shots he can handle.

I am for anything that helps to explote our best players offensively. I just am sick of the around the 3 pt line dribbling which goes no where and we are forced to try and create a shot with no time on the shot clock.

I would be all for a high low set or a classic wing to block or even a wing to L where Warren or Brown make the decisions.

I just hate the high ball screen by the 5's they all are incapable of rolling to the rim and handling the ball or creating any shot on their own off of a pass that has them moving. I know lots of teams run it but when I watch the better teams in the NCAA they do not run a lot of high ball screen and when they do its an attempt to open a ballhandler to score off of the dribble or to get into the lane and create.

The 3 pt line dribbling and the going nowhere offense reminds me to an identical offense Les's predocesor ran. And the points per game is pretty close to what MO produced. I recall when JL took over his press conference was about getting out and running and controling the offense. Today we are stagnet, predictable, very little ability to create and worst of all we are simply not a very good shooting team. If you cant shoot it you better find a way to get to the rim for easy baskets.

I am with you on everything you said. The 5-man setting the ball screens are beyond annoying. We're trying to run the Phoenix Suns offense with Nash and Stoudamire. They run that same 5-man pick-and-roll out top nearly every time down with those two. Only problem is we're missing Nash and Stoudamire.
 
I think this is the most important game of the year, it is our opportunity to get a road, and our opportunity to stay out of the playin game. If we can win this one steel another road win and get 5-6 home wins we can finish fifth or sixth and stay out of the playin game.

This team needs to do better then just staying out of the play in game, if that happens this board will go in total meltdown as nothing short of being in the top 4 is satisfactory to me.

I was thinking the same thing. This team better be competing for a top 4 finish or else!

Honestly - if we lose this game, then we'll know where we are at and what to expect the rest of the season. Somehow I am lacking confidence that we can win this one. Someone help pep me up.

I don't think I need to remind anyone just how critical this game is. Unlike the Chicago Bears, we have a chance for a great conference season, but we have to play with a full 40 minute effort in every game, against every team, no matter how good or bad they are.

If this isn't enough to get the team up for tomorrow night's game, maybe they should just talk to the Bears. For those who did not see it, the Bears played their best game of the year, maybe two years as they beat the Vikings 36-30 in OT. They showed tonight the type of effort that needs to be shown EVERY night. Unlike the Braves though, the Bears learned their lesson way, way too late! You don't show up for a full game in garbage time like the Bears did, and it still may not be enough to save Lovie's job. It shows he is a good coach and the team has good talent when they want to show it. But they weren't consistent enough to bring their "A" game every night, and some of their players admitted that.

Bradley though still has time to show they are a great team. They start with a clean slate tomorrow night, and they start with a winnable road game that needs to be taken if they want to make a serious run in the Valley race. It starts tomorrow night at Drake, and hopefully they can build from that. And if possible, maybe Les should obtain a tape of the Bears game and play it for the team tomorrow. Drake may not be a great team, but they like the Bears, are capable of beating anyone if they put their minds to it. I'm sure Bradley understands that after Iowa St., and I am confident they will put in a great effort against Drake.

Great? Why don't we start with 'good'? Gotta stand before you can walk, and walk before you can run. We stood up against Illinois, but then tripped on the carpet and smacked our foreheads against WCU and Loyola. The our big brother kicked us in the face against Iowa St. Time to stand up and start over.

Well I thought most people on these boards won't accept "good", i.e. another 4th place finish.

I say let's shoot for great, and if good is what we get, so be it. That way it will be better than mediocre either way. :D

Good teams finish in the top 3 and contend for a league title. Average ones and bad ones don't. Great teams win the league. We've been nowhere close to great since 1996.

Well I think we agree that top 3 would qualify as good. But heck, shoot for a Valley championship this year. If that doesn't pan out, the top 3 is still an obtainable goal since we don't know just how good WSU and MSU are at the moment, and CU, IL St. and SIU can finish anywhere from 2nd through 8th. That's why I think a top 3 finish is there for the taking.

Also I agree that we haven't had a great team since 1996 if you consider a team that leads the league from beginning to end great. But we certainly can't dismiss 2006 as a great team even though we took off later in the season. We don't necessarily have to win the Valley to make an NCAA Tournament run, either via the Valley tournament championship or a second place at-large bid. But agreed, the weaker the conference the more necessary it is to win the conference to be considered great.

The game is carried by Mediacom in Iowa (channel 22), and Comcast here in Central Illinois (cable channel 74). Each cable system will do the game with their own broadcast team. I believe the game will be on Comcast in Chicago on Comcast cable channel 102.
Like in past years, Mediacom cable systems in the central Illlinois area are supposedly going to pick up the Comcast feed, but you should check with your cable office to see if you will get the game, and what channel it is on.

Maybe Mediacom cable customers can tell us what systems and which channels the games were carried on in past years.
