Im glad Paul Lusk did it...but I think it is horrible coaching to keep guys on the bench for extended time with two fouls. Weems is a 5th year senior. If you cant trust him to play with two fouls then you won't ever trust anyone. You don't get those minutes back that he sat.

Bradley is playing better than earlier in the season. I think Taylor Brown is wearing down some. 0-for-7 in the first half. Missed shots he normally makes. Walt Lemon, Jr is unpredictable but seeing him go from end-to-end with the ball is fun to watch.

MSU fans...does Patterson ever go down low or is everything 15 feet and out? He has good skills but 2.9 rebounds on the year?

Final Mo St. 64 Bradley 53. Ugly game but I will take the W any day. Mo St now sits alone in 3rd place.

Ugly game but the Bears made enough shots and Bradley missed enough shots down the stretch for the difference. Bradley will never win when Taylor Brown goes 0-for-11 from the floor. The athletic guys (Pickins, Downing, Gulley) played well for the Bears. BU did a pretty nice job on Weems thanks in large part to Coach Lusk.

Bradley just can't shoot it and score it very well. Simms-Edwards made some shots and Lemon can be good when he is under control. At least Bradley didn't get blown out.

Missouri State plays hard. Teams 3-9 in this league are just so close to each other.
