I agree with this more than Brew's opinion on the matter.  No disrespect to Brew but Illinois is a team I think will be very good this year

With all due respect Agree too, not that Early Season Rankings mean that much necessarily but the Pollsters have Illinois Ranked 8th in the country.

I would disagree with the "just isos" take on Bradley's offense. I saw a lot of good ball movement from them. Also - the thing that stuck out to me the most in an impressive way was Bradley's ability to rebound with Xavier. Either Xavier is a soft team and is going to get outmuscled come BE time or Bradley has a team capable of playing with high major physicality. I'm leaning toward the latter as that would confirm my existing opinion about the job Wardle has done at Bradley.

Either way - I'm glad they're not on MU's non-con. Although it's not like we got anything out of Pine Bluff...

All do respect, this looks like a case of you want Wardle to do well so you overlook some serious flaws (which is fine btw). Giving up 19 offensive boards is not good. Also, only 8 assists on 21 made field goals is pretty below average. That was a ugly sloppy game from both teams, which you would somewhat expect this early in the seaaon.

Gonzaga has two players out due to COVID protocols, but are still planning to play Auburn today. Sounds like there's more to this story, but not sure why they aren't shutting down when everyone else in the country is taking measures when appropriate.

Yes Bradley gave up 19 offensive rebounds, but they had 16 offensive rebounds of their own. Total rebounds went 47-40 in favor of X... I think that can be classified as rebounded "with Xavier".

I'm aware of the stats, and fully stand by my statement that it was an ugly early season game where neither team looked very good.

[PGsHeroes32]

NOt sure this Gonzaga/Auburn game really needed to be played.


This is looks almost as lopsided as our game vs Pine Bluff.

Xavier is only outrebounding Toledo by 3 at the half. I guess Toledo, too, has that high major toughness and we should be thankful not to see them on our non-con schedule.

If you actually read my post I said it's also possible Xavier is just a soft team. That possibility remains valid.

Was our game always on FS1? I thought it was on FS2(which I don't have) but I see its on FS1 now.

I think it was switched to FS1 a few days ago.

It got switched from FS2 to FS1 when the 8pm San Diego State/Fresno State football game on FS1 got canceled.

Oh great. Benefits me.

I was expecting to have to scour reddit for some help

[PGsHeroes32]

Virginia on the ropes!!

[bilsu]

Sam missed the game winner.

[PGsHeroes32]

Maybe thats why Markus didn't pass at the Garden!


Just hate to see it.....

[Mr. Nielsen]

Go Dons!

[geps]

Sam wide open too.

[1SE]

Sam who?

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Sam will have a great season but should have made that shot

[Uncle Rico]

Virginia sucks

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Being on either side of this..."debate"...is not a great look.

Here's hoping the Hausers walking the tightrope between average and very good so that they we don't have to get constant updates all season from either side about how they are doing

[wadesworld]

Dead to me.

Wait, so we shouldn't update when number 4 in the country goes down to a WCC team not named Gonzaga?

[MU82]

Dead to me.

Yessir.

I don't care that he missed. I wouldn't have cared if he had made. And I have no plans to even open the Hauser thread on the Superbar (while appreciating that it was put there instead of here).

But I do have to admit that I chuckled when I read ...

Maybe thats why Markus didn't pass at the Garden!
