Bradley with the win, 68-57, shooting 52% and holding Drake to 43%. I have no idea what to make of this win.

Drake isn't good enough to take their show on the road yet.

Good Walt Lemon showed up tonight. He has been borderline garbage all year.

Not a shock BU wins when Lemon is the best player on the court. He finished with 31 pts. Carter and Daniels didn't do much for Drake.

Drake looked bad but Bradley needed that one big time.

Lemon with 31 pts and not a single other BU player in double digits. Further evidence that if you can shut down Lemon, you can shut down Bradley. Did anyone that watched see if Drake was featuring more of a zone or man to man defense? BU has struggled lately against the zone.

I thought that I read somewhere that Ford was going to make drastic changes. What did he change?

He didn't do anything drastic. Tightened the rotation. Biggest change was making Walt Lemon good tonight :) Outside of that Bradley defended well and rebounded which they have to do since the offense is a struggle.

To answer ptown's question....Drake played man and zone. To be fair, Lemon threw in about three or four impossible shots. He scored BU's last 14 points.

First off, I want to give Bradley credit....they were ready to play tonight.

The Drake team that was picked for 10th in the league is the team that showed up tonight. By far their worst performance of the season. Other than Hawley, who had a career game, the rest of the team was completely unprepared. I hope it was just one bad game.

I think you might be on to something here.

Just a head scratching loss. :huh:

The wife said with the previous losses she thought Lemon would show up tonight...and he did..big time.

The Bulldogs got off to about a dozen down off the bat and it haunted them to the end.

Next Game.
