Ladies and Gentlemen, the Least Improved Team is ...

I present the Bradley Gargoyles, who, due to a 6 game losing streak, have fallen:

- 122 positions from opening day in the KenPom ratings
- 114 positions in the rpiforecast.com end-of-season forecast.

At least the first is the biggest tumble in D1, and I would bet the second is very close.

There's so much competition for this coveted award.

I'd give Drake the reverse, though.

And without a single injury or suspension that I am aware of.

Well it aint pretty.

But, Swop has had 2 nice games in a row and NW had the best game of his life. 2 Big positives and they were not on the court when the game was lost. IMO Walt got called for a charge that couldve went as a block and shouldve at home for Walt but again he gets no love.

XT has a bad ankle, Prosser has been out most the yr 4 games suspension and 2 due to injury.

The GF AB love fest is getting old.

AF supposed to be the answer at point can get on the court.

Best 5 IMO ....Nate Wells or Prosser at the 5.....TP who has been great all yr at the 4 ........Swopshire at the 3 and Walt at the 2 and Bell at the point.

I think I know who you're talking about, but trying to keep up with around 100 initials isn't fun.

I really question a couple things Geno did towards the end. First we didn't have any shooters in at the end of the game. IMO, Swopshire or Grier should have been in the game.. Bell was in, and even though he played a very solid game, he isn't a very good shooter. But what does it matter? Walt Lemon wouldn't ever give up the ball to another teammate in clutch time. Which brings me to my next point. With one timeout left down two, why didn't Geno call a timeout? Maybe we could have ran a play. The whole arena knew Walt was gonna take that shot and he went in 1 on 5. The dude was erratic in the last five minutes. And at the end of the game, it was a clear charge. Not close

Tyshon Pickett has been consistent, and Swopshire has put together two straight good games, but other than that it's a train wreck in Braveland

And Walt shouldn't get any love when he's shooting under 40% and averaging 4 turnovers a game

Walt did a nice job of moving his body around the D and the guy flopped but you right its all Walts fault. Barnes is Perfect and Geno too

I'm thinking Bradley was over-rated to start the season. A lot of new pieces, but still no excuse for these losses!
