Its been like this off and on over the years !!! It is my opinion that BU has psych issues with both the fans AND the school and its players The VALLEY DOES not need this
I’ll be interested to see how Bradley handles this. I don’t see how they can play them unless they come out with some type of explanation of what happened. I’m going to say, no matter what the explanation is, it’s going to sound bad.
Best case scenario - four of them bring in girl(s) into their hotel room at 1:00 a.m. the night before a 5:00 p.m. game, but nothing untoward happens. Still - Huge COVID protocol issue. Huge team rule issue. Huge team leadership issue. Huge team oversight issue. If they could come out (honestly, and with nobody controverting the story) and say there were girls in the players’ room and they were just drinking till 1:30 in the morning – it would look bad but the players could probably still play.
Worst case scenario – ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT. If that’s the case, I don’t see how any of them can play for the rest of the season.
Unfortunately for us, Bradley’s problems all but pave the way for Drake to win out to finish the season. They’ve got 2 home games against Evansville, and finish with 2 games on the road against Bradley. Childs, Nolan and Henry lead them in pretty much everything… without those guys, Drake will roll them.
All I know is… whether we win a Valley regular season title, get an at-large, win arch madness – or not, I’m glad we haven’t ever really had these type of problems on Porter’s watch.
