The meltdown in Evansville must have crashed the message board. It was fine when I looked at it right before the game.[/quote]
You may be correct. I chose not to look at the forum last night after the game as I was so disappointed with the effort by the Aces and outcome of the game. It was the Aces game to lose and that's what they did. Bradley had a good game plan to defend the drive to the basket. Even though the Aces shot 46 free throws, there was a lot of contact not called and they could have easily shot another 20 free throws.
Hopefully, this is not a downward direction the team is heading but just one of those truly bad games that happens. Right now Wiley, the only true 4 that the Aces have, has been sidelined for 3 weeks with a groin injury, and Smith, a shutdown defensive guard, has also been out that long after having his knee scoped. After the game, it was disclosed that Taylor was fighting the flu. Once the team is at full strength, I hope that the play will be better on both ends of the court.
