Congrats to Bradley on winning a truly entertaining ballgame.
I got to watch the last part of the 2nd half and OT of this and a couple things jumped out to me.
1. Murray State just wanted to set ball screens and use athleticism on offense, it seems. The certainly have some length and athleticism which worked when Bradley was in the man-to-man with small guards in the game, but as soon as they went zone...Murray's offense disappeared.
2. Perhaps it was simply another Saturday night in the Valley, but college officials continue to call way too many fouls. I was surprised they didn't call a foul on Bradley when Murray tied the game in OT - even though I didn't think it was a foul. Those are the sort they would have called at the 10 min mark.
3. Jaquan Johnson is really good for a freshman. Duke Deen got into early foul trouble and Johnson looked like a veteran out there. BU needs to pay that kid.
4. Wardle got bailed out by Darius Hannah, who made a good read and take to the basket.
