Game 24 - Bradley - Feb 6

[kochrab]

Can’t do tv or radio .. checking live box score. Did California Kyle show up tonight?

He's not making 3's but has 2 and 1's and is driving to the basket. Haven't seen him play like this ever. He's shown glimpses, but this is refreshing because he's actually productive.

What a lob! HOOOLY.

I am loving this. What a great showing on national TV.

Fantastic game. Keep building some momentum!

Fantastic and well executed game. The gameplan against Jonovic worked beautifully, and keeping them out of the paint was the gamechanger for this one. Only 5 made twos for Bradley! That's incredible. Nice to see a few threes fall on our side as well, and Kyle showed something tonight that I don't recall ever seeing before with the way he was cutting and moving all game. Nice to see Tristan back even though it's clear he's not fully healthy yet. Our defense is really remarkable though. If we are just competent enough from the free throw line and 3 point line going forward, this defense will singlehandedly carry us to victories.

They rebounded so much better tonight. Bradley found out it's tough to win shooting 33% from the field. Something we have had to deal with most of January. Of course I think our defense had something to do with their poor shooting.

Best performance in a month.

Time to roll!

We looked so good last night. Defense was great like it's been all year. We're so much better when we commit to getting to the rim to get points. We need to make some threes but not have it be the entire game plan.

Jake on the post game show said smith could have played more minutes in the second half but KP played so well in the first they gave him some extra run. Also commented we all know were at our best with a healthy tristan out there.

Man, I know things feel doom and gloom for us sometimes, but only scoring 5 2 point fieldgoals is a low I don't want to experience ever. That's just... rough.

Last night was the first game I got to see in person this year. That defense is really something to watch live. Everyone is so connected and smart. And they just bust their butts. Really really impressive stuff.

I can't say enough good things about Will Hornseth and Ben Schweiger lately. They have both been such steady presences on the team. It was great to have Tristan back and Kyle was so good going to the hoop.

Bradley averages over 70 ppg in league play and we held them to 49. Crazy good stuff.

We have not lost a conference game with Tristan in the rotation, and only have 2 losses all season when the team is fully healthy. We are really good, and with the improved depth and flexibility of the rotation, we are as dangerous as ever going down the stretch!
