Have to go and get some shooters in the portal! 2 or 3 starters. That's the only way to get to the top of conference in the next 2 years.

A winnable game, on the road, against our major rival and we shoot 3 of 22 on 3s. Good Lord scoutbthe world for a 3 point shooter! Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Lithuania, Serbia, Italy, JUCO, D2, D3, Class 1A high school I don’t care. Surely somebody is out there that can shoot say 37% on 3s.

Bad strategy at end. 20 sec left. Drive and get a 2 and foul again. To wait 20 secs and try a 3 was not the right call. However if you are gonna try to jack up a 3, do you want Miles and Kendall in the game?

Not sure I have ever watched a college basketball game where both teams had less than 30% field goal shooting. ISU at 28.3% and BU at 29.6%. This was a hard game to watch.

If we shoot this poorly in STL we probably exit very early. I do believe the Bradley faithful were a little stunned and how many of us several weeks ago thought a game at Peoria was an automatic loss? Half time comment was interesting, talking about not hitting shots, but your scheme has to put the shooters in a successful position also.

JK and Poindexter 5 for 24. Not going to win scoring a point a minute. Officials sucked too. But a winnable game that slipped away Damn
Officials did suck, especially when Foster had the ball. But they have been gutless in Bradley Home games since at least the late 70s.

We now know the way to shut Foster down is to be able to mug him. Bradley gave us a golden opportunity, can’t lose that game…

The way the game unfolded is a game where having Burford would have beneficial. The pull-up 8 to 12 foot shots would have prohibited BU from collapsing on Foster with multiple players.

Defensively, that was a great effort; offensively, well ...

... and do we even have a proven "get a bucket" inbounds play? HCDM always seemed to have a couple coming out of a timeout.

My frustration with this offense is the idea of taking the ball to the whole and then seemingly not knowing what to do with it, so we throw a wild pass out to the perimeter that is sometimes successful sometimes goes to our opponents!

I would much rather we pull up and shoot a 12 foot jumper, especially when we rebound so well on the offensive end.
