Plays good defense

 

[Coug1990]

They are all playing hard on defense. Already look better than Monday. Bradley is a good team, so we will see fi the Cougs can keep it up all game.

 

[Coug1990]

As expected, Bradley is a tough team. Cougs have 7 turnovers, so they are handling the ball better than Monday. In fact, they had four turnovers the first few minutes of the game and only three the rest. Where Bradley is staying in the game are they are shooting 44% from three versus the Cougs 27%. The Cougs also have missed several shots at the rim.

 

[Coug1990]

Cougs came out on fire. Cougs have outscored Bradley 13-1 in the second half so far.

 

[Coug1990]

Cougs on a 19-1 run to start the second half. Currently lead 64-43.

I like the looks of this team, making foul shots? Unheard of

 

[Coug1990]

91-74 victory. The team is fun to watch. The motion on offense. The drives to the basket. As longtime wrote, making foul shots. No more holding the ball and initiating the first shot with only a few seconds left on the clock. The team played hard on defense. Plus, they are nowhere near their potential.

I'm liking this team so far. Lot of improvement from last game. Bradley is essentially the same team that went to the NIT last year.

 

[SaveFerris]

Yeah, saw improvement as well against a better team. They won easily and left points out there. Still, ball movement was really good and after a sloppy start with multiple turnovers we end the game with 9.

Really good early season win.

 

[7ICoug]

Yes, a really good early win as Save indicates. Cleaned up the TO's, 10 steals, players who weren't playing all that much defense really played much much better. Bradley is a good team and this was a much improved job of scheduling by the Coach. Fans showed up and this style of Hoops is much more fun to watch.

Quite impressed at this point.

That’s all Hayford’s influence. The guy was really an offensive savant.
