Nothing exemplifies the struggles of the last few seasons more than the repeated beat downs from Bradley. Haven't played them within 30 the last 4 matchups. 31, 32, 35 & 45 pt margins. Kept getting worse. Wow. I'm glad Reink Mast left. He was a beast underneath. He should be happy today, his Cornhuskers beat Purdue. He scored 18. I miss Geno Ford.

…Sadly I think he’s already played in over 30% of the games for this season, so I don’t think he would qualify for a medical redshirt. Hopefully it’s just something minor and he’s back in the next 2 weeks. As usual, Larry, you are correct. With a 31 game regular season, you could only play in 9 games or less. Ben has already played in 12 games. Even if postseason games were counted and we won the National Championship and we played 40 games then maybe. But not sure if they count postseason games. Just hoping we can win one game without Ben at the moment and get him back before the end of the month. Minor is 2 weeks down. This is going on over a month. This is a serious problem. But we can't do anything about. But it would be nice if they where honest about it.

I don't feel good about this "day to day" explanation for Ben's return. I suspect that he has a season-ending injury that they just don't want to reveal, hoping to keep fan support ongoing. I wonder if the team knows and that they have lost their enthusiasm for the conference season? The "performance" at the Murray State game showed a lack of energy and effort. Seemed suspicious to me that something negative had caused such a drastic change in the play of the team - was evident from the very beginning of the game - I think it was more than having to play without Ben that game. I hope that I am wrong about this - guess it comes easy to see the worst in a situation after the horrendous past few years in this program. We just never seem to get a break.
Hoping for a well-prepared, renewed team tonight. Go ACES!

Hoping for a well-prepared, renewed team tonight. Go ACES! Not sure the extent of his injury but he is getting around pretty good. I also heard Saturday his boot was coming off that day. Not sure if that has happened but if it has he's probably a couple weeks out from playing.

I must have click on the Bradley radio broadcast on the Varsity Network. They are saying that Ben will play next week - but who knows if that information is correct or not.

Question. How can there be a shot clock violation if only 22 seconds ran off the clock? There was still 19:38 left on the clock after the illegal tip to start the game.

Horrible start for the Aces. Down 11-2 at the U16

Horrible start for the Aces. Down 11-2 at the U16 1-7 for us and 4-6 for Bradley with three being threes = 11-2 deficit. We are on pace to score 15 points for the entire game. Hope the offense and defense gets better from here on out.

Before the hate for the players start, I’m just wondering what the coaches are doing. This is iso ball…Just go get you a basket. Miss, no rebound go play horrible defense. We need to call a play every time down the floor
