bradleybravefan, bballraider is our resident basketball expert. He knows the game of basketball and we love that he is willing to share his knowledge with the rest of us smucks. Bballraider breaks down every Wright State opponent before the game.
Someone posted over on the Bradley message board this afternoo that Ruffin might have an injury, any truth to this rumor?

Thanks Rock70, but I am far from an expert on basketball, I have just watched a lot of games, and read the stats. As the Statmaster says, "Statistics don't lie, people do." But those stats, they can deceive you now and then, so it doesn't hurt to watch a few games too.
I watch a lot of sports, but the only one I would classify myself as an expert is maybe soccer. And on that note I would like to congratulate Bradley on a very fine year on the soccer field. I caught one of their games and they looked like a very very good team, but enough about soccer, we have a basketball game to worry about. So I am outta here and on my way to the game. GO RAIDERS!

They are killing us on the boards and getting way too many second chance baskets. We also need to figure out a way to play against a zone. Standing around the three point line and passing it back and forth doesn't work. We need to attack the damn zone.

They out rebounded us 20-10 in the first half. Thank god they turned it over so much. We are right in this game. We need to tighten up the defense and figure out how to break down their zone and we will win.

We have a 6 point lead with 7 minutes to play. We just need to keep the intensity up and play smart ball.

We pissed away our lead at the free throw line to go to OT. Now we are pissing away the game giving up LAYUPS. WTF!

Graham needs to be out of the lineup at the end of a game. You cannot have a point guard, of all positions, on the court that makes poor decisions and repeatedly gets his pocket picked. He did that at the end of the Valpo game and he did it again tonight. Coach Brownell took him out after he got his pocket picked and he never got back onto the court. Upperclassmen, especially point guards, need to make good decisions at the end of the game. That's 2 games we gave away at the end now. It's a shame, because we played a really good game against a good team.

I hate that we lost, but honestly I thought we were going to lose this game. Bradley destroyed us last year winning by almost 40 and we haven't been the most consistent offensive team. I liked the way we played. We need to start knocking down the freebies at the end of the game and we will start winning these close ones. Good minutes from everyone off the bench tonight too.
Go Raiders. Bring on Miami.

We played a great game tonight and ended up a little short. I don't like losing, especially when 3 of your best players (Brown, Duggins, Gardner) miss free throws at the end. We need to learn from this one and move on and get ready for Miami.
