Bradley Preview and Game Thread -- 03/20/2024

[Blers42]

I could not think of a worse way to end the season. The entire team looks phased and lazy.

[440Rambler]

Just an insanely horrible way to go into an off-season. Looks like the team gave up.

[LU Rambler12]

Offense looking a little more alive. Norris and Alston putting the team on their back.

Can we pull what the Bonnies did to us? Need a stop here and try to get the point differential into single digits.
Bradley is tightning up a bit...

[LU Rambler12]

Wow...what a turnaround!

Finally started playing real Rambler ball in the 2nd half.
Norris and Alston with 4 fouls each is a big problem though. Need someone else to step up.

Sometimes it's a mystery why people go cold, but Watson's picked up a really noticeable hitch in his shot.

[LU Rambler12]

Free throws are the difference right now. Leaving points on the board.

[goramblers2011]

Embarrassing way to end the season. Good effort with the 2nd half comeback, but the first half was some of the worst basketball I've seen us play in years.

Simply put, our free throw shooting today and the last few games is unacceptable for a Division 1 team.

And, whats up with Watson? His shot looks so incredibly off today. And his FTs were just lined drives at the rim. Hope he's OK.

[LU Rambler12]

Bradley got their revenge.

Next season is gonna be a tough one. Lots of big shoes to fill for the incoming players.

FT% 58.8 to Bradleys 80%
We took a dive in FT performance as of late.
It hurt us again.

Our 3 ball was bad as a team, 6 of 25, but Norris came on strong in the 2nd half but not enough.
Really going to miss Norris.
JQ 2 for 2 on the 3 ball.
Surprised Sheldon or Des didn't contribute from beyond the arc.

Turned out to be a battle at the end, but not enough.

Got a lot of work to do before next season.

[RamblerRagas]

Is Des nursing a hand or finger injury of some sort? The abysmal shooting from Bonnies game looked no better tonight.
