Did your parents go to the Bahamas and leave you home alone?

Did this make ESPN?

Where was the thread at a few days ago vs. the Commonwealth Giants?

No one should look at any results against foreign competition as any predictor of future success. These trips are good for the extra practices and gives coaches a chance to see their players and get a start on looking at what new guys can do. Nothing wrong with that.

From Bradley's perspective, they played terribly at first and got progressively better over the four games. That's a good sign I guess. I do think the trip told them a few things about the team. Some good, some not-so-good.

The Good:
Walt Lemon is still a very good player. He led the team with 14.8 ppg on the trip

Tyshon Pickett is solid and has improved. Those two are a nice 1-2 punch

Sophomore transfer Omari Grier is a good offensive player. He didn't shoot well from the FIBA 3-pt line but he is a deep threat BU hasn't had. He isn't a complete player and needs to defend better and rebound better.

Freshman guard Stefan Zecevic was easily the biggest surprise. Mostly because people had no idea what to expect. He flies around. Is super aggressive and confident. He is also really athletic. He is NOT, however, a very good shooter. He is kinda the "anti stereotypical European" player. He rebounds well. Is always around the ball and plays with kind of an irrational confidence. Again, he's not like NOY material but he will be in the rotation.

As a team Bradley is a better rebounding team, more athletic, and tougher overall.

The Bad:
Overall Bradley still isn't a very good shooting team. They will be improved some but this will be an issue.

I think the coaching staff was a tad disappointed with the inside play of new guys (Chris Blake-JUCO, and Xzavier Taylor-Freshman). They were hoping to not have to play Jordan Prosser more than 20 minutes a game this year and, so far, no one has separated themselves.

Backup PG. Wake Forest transfer Anthony Fields has struggled. He hasn't been a game changer. Hopefully for Bradley's sake sophomore KaDarryl Bell can recover from injury and pick up where he left off the last 8-10 games last season.

I thought Bradley would finish between 4th and 6th this season and that will still probably be true.

Zero. That is what the results of these games mean.

Really? We are not looking for more than 20 mins out of out SR big and prolly starting 5 ...Prosser

Secevic: can shoot

Grier: Moves the ball well when he isnt shooting and rebounds way better than I thought he would!


Way to not mention the 7 footer Nate Wells




Yes the practices and growing togeather are 100 % the best thing about this tourney


as far as Taylor goes a true freshman never been out of the country I thought we got more out of him then could have been expected... tho the stats arent forsure correct but still.



If you think BU is finishing barring injuries worse than 3rd YOU ARE CRAZY
