Not sure if this has been previously discussed, but does anyone else find that Chapman looks a whole lot like Paul Pierce?

Playing faster and picking up the pressure D made a huge difference.  I didn't like the initial gameplan of trying to be slow and having Gardner work too much down low against a 7 foot pro in O'Bryant.  DG got frustrated and we stagnated.  Run these 30+ guys.

One more thing.  Travis was crisp in the huddle calling up a very solid play with 5 seconds.  The guys executed perfectly and got a great shot.  Happened to go in but either way it was very solid.

At times Buycks just looks scary good. He's really grown so much from his time here.

Refs are definitely inconsistent. At times calling it tight, at times letting them play. Just called a goal trend on a ball that was never touched.

Up to now, we've had a run in is to come back. Do we have another?

Banked 3 for Bradley at the end of the shot clock was the turning point.

That extra three there looked rather daggerish to me. Guessing this is it.

Fun while it lasted. Bradley just too tough down the stretch. Better on defense, made their shots. A bit too much individual play from our guys after they got down. Hopefully a learning experience for next year.

A bit too much? Totally broke down to 1-on-1 play the last 6-7 minutes. Trying to dribble through crowds. Outta control. Silliness.

Obviously, Wes can coach circles around Diener - ha!

Anyways ... I enjoyed their run, especially the win over the Fightin' Creaners, and I'm with those who hope this is an annual tradition.

Favorite part of the whole game:  Diener asking "is that guy reffing Big East this season" after a terrible call on Mo Acker. 

Worst part of the game:  Individual play at the end. 

The bradley guys were not better players but they were a better team.  Hope the MU guys can stick together and keep doing this because they have more talent than nearly any team in the tourney.

n.b.  DG is not good in this format, especially at 400 lbs.  Have another sushi Davante!

Hard to win games when one team is in double bonus with 11 minutes to go.

Davante probably gained weight last night after having eaten the basketball so often. O'Bryant totally dominated him, and that surprised me.

Why?  Athletic 7 footer.  With Ox's lack of vertical, all he had to do is keep Gardner from getting into his body.  Not the first time, but probably the last representing MU.  I am sure DG will continue to beat up on skinny 6'8 guys in Japan and France.   He will not make the NBA.
