Will most Bradley fans root for or against UC Davis if Les takes them to the dance this year?

I don't know, but I suspect their message board would no longer be in existence.

I have a reputation of being a JL "hater", but I would be very happy for him. If he had done Davis first, maybe he wouldn't have trashed the Bradley program.

The only thing that concerns me about that scenario is that all that would do is fuel the movement to reinstate him as the Bradley coach.

You may laugh, but you watch.

Feel free to change the title of this thread back to what it was.

No team in the Valley should be worried about Bradley messing things up for them at this point!

Bradley is a terrible basketball team. If anyone in this conference loses to Bradley, then they don't deserve whatever that loss might cost them!

Why are the Braves so awful? I have gone through the roster and they look like they should be pretty good on paper. Is it all coaching?

I'm pretty sure Drake will lose to Bradley at least at Carver. Unlike Bradley Drake looks like they should be bad on paper and they are. I don't know if any coach could win with this team.

It's actually a combination of many things. Having one serviceable center has been a big problem. None of our centers seem to know how to finish at the rim. All of our centers foul at an alarming rate. Free throw shooting has been horrible. The team needs to get used to playing with a true point guard. We have yet to play a game with our best five on the court at the same time. Just as Sutherland was ready to play, our leading scorer (Jones) went down for 4-6 weeks.

Bradley is bad because they dont play team basketball...its a bunch of AAu kids who never learned to play as a team..they had 7 assists today....7. They also are slow to make adjustments and have been routinely outcoached in everything from any semblance of a set offense to ridiculous substitution patterns which create zero flow for the players actually playing. Today he takes out Grier despite a rare game when he was on fire and scoring at will. He couldnt hit a thing once he came back after sitting. Look, Les was bad and needed to be fired probably sooner than he was, but Geno isnt the answer and has taken us further into the abyss. o for the road ,0-13 in neutral court games(nearly impossible to replicate), and 40-73 in year 4....Ive seen enough.
