Secret scrimmage results

Where will Bradley play a secret scrimmage?
Click to expand...

We're working on finding out...
I believe they will play a secret scrimmage, as they have most years under Coach Wardle. The coaches think it benefits the team more than an exhibition against a D2 or D3 team.

Recall that I posted the Bradley secret scrimmage opponents and dates the last couple years well before anyone publicly posted or acknowledged them, so my sources seem to have been pretty good.
2023- At Missouri- https://www.bradleyfans.com/forum/s...-2023-24-bradley-schedule?p=512489#post512489

Guy who was at the Illini vs Butler secret scrimmage has a full report plus multiple video clips

multiple other people have video clips as well, so this scrimmage was definitely not much of a secret.

Even Butler people posting lots of video - https://x.com/ButlerMBB/status/1845902596122259570


There are reports of Illini's (freshman) Will Riley scored 22, Morez Johnson had 13 reb and freshman Kasparas Jakoucionis was
the best all around player on the court.
Final Illinois 73 - Butler 61
 
In a charity exhibition Cincinnati led wire to wire & blew out Ohio State 80-62..
…several comments indicate Connor Hickman played well off the bench defensively, but was just 1-4 with 2 pts, 1reb & 1 asst

The team that West Virginia clobbered was not the D1 school College of Charleston from Charleston, SC. It was a D2 school, the University of Charleston from Charleston, West Virginia. They are actually a pretty good D2 program that was 29-5 last season, and made it to the NCAA D2 Sweet 16.
 
Bradley beat Eastern Kentucky in a secret scrimmage this afternoon- Bradley 78 - Eastern Kentucky 73

One other secret scrimmage involving a MVC team- Arkansas State 78 - Murray State 73

Missouri State loses their secret scrimmage 61-51 to Texas A&M-Commerce, who was NET # 333 last year & at # 360 out of 364 in this year's Kenpom.
Their fan base is in meltdown mode

Looks like Missouri State will have some offensive struggles this season. It was only a preseason scrimmage, but they only managed 51 points against one of the worst teams in D1. They will probably have the same trouble against the MVC teams..
This shouldn't be too much of a surprise to the Missouri State fans, though they seem to be in various stages of denial.
Missouri State was picked 11th in the MVC Preseason Poll, and they did not land a single player on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team Preseason All-MVC.
The Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook picked them 12th - dead last in their ranking of the MVC - https://www.bradleyfans.com/forum/s...8-2024-25-preseason-picks?p=521572#post521572
And there have been a number of other preseason rankings that had Missouri State 11th or 12th - https://www.bradleyfans.com/forum/s...8-2024-25-preseason-picks?p=521745#post521745

They do have some talent, and Cuonzo Martin is a good coach. So maybe they will improve as the season progresses.
 
Here's a shock! It's reported that Arkansas and their new head coach John Calipari, along with their multimillion dollar NIL PAYROLL,
just got beat last night by Arkansas-Little Rock in a secret scrimmage 78-54.
I don't know if this is confirmed, but next up for Arkansas is a charity exhibition Friday vs. Kansas.
 
speaking of blowouts....
Illinois just played Ole Miss (picked 9th in SEC preseason poll) in a charity exhibition, and got blown out 91-74.

Ex-MVC guys--->
Ben Humrichous (Evansville transfer for Illinois) went 1-5 in 21 minutes (0-4 from 3-pt), scoring just 2 pts, 1 reb
Belmont transfer playing for Ole Miss, Malik Dia, was 7-8, 18 pts, 2 reb in just 19 minutes.

UNI 85 - Wisconsin 75 in a secret scrimmage
Valpo over Ball St in a secret scrimmage 95-86

Nice win for UNI (picked 2nd in the MVC), even though Wisconsin is down this year. The Badgers were picked tied for 12th in the preseason Big Ten media poll. - https://www.cbssports.com/college-b...michigan-state-overrated-michigan-underrated/

Also, nice to see Valpo (picked 10th out of 12 in MVC) beat Ball State. Ball State was picked in the middle of the pack (7th out of 12 teams) in the MAC Preseason poll. - https://getsomemaction.com/news/202...-25-mens-basketball-preseason-poll-teams.aspx
