Mitchell will play 4, when we get a big, I think, but Bradshaw might play some 4 too

Then lost by 10 at home to UConn. Wonder if that will be a good loss for them? 😂
How many shots did he take to get those 22 points? What was his shoot ng to percentage. If you are going to provide stats, provide them all.
It's because the offense looks so much better when he comes in, and sure enough he not only seals the game in that end of the floor, but he makes heady plays on defense. He rebounds. He's likely not missing 50% of free throws.
Some of these guys swing a little far into the "athlete" side. Shep is a basketball player first. Got to play those guys.
He doesn’t bitch a lot he is one of the better posters on here, and it pretty level headed
Everybody contributed tonight.
Everybody seemed to play well, but hurt the team some, too.
Nobody played a perfect game.
They are all humans.
Credit to STJ for bringing it, taking us to the wire, and MAKING us win it.

It painfully obvious our weak spot is not having big men right now. We have played damn well being so small, not communicating on switches, and getting crushed on the defensive glass.
Other than missing an easy dunk, Edwards played better. However, that has nothing to do with putting Wagner a non-shooter on the court for a game winning shot attempt. You don't have to agree with me, but that strategy will cost us more games than it wins.
He had a pretty decent game stat wise. And was solid from the line.
That to me says that Cal (and maybe Bradshaw) are being extra cautious.
I know every body is different. But foot surgery back in June shouldn't be day to day now. It's either fine more or less, or there's bigger issues happening. Could be wrong. Hope I am and hope he plays Friday. But i guess even that was a rumor..
Mitchell isn’t a rim protector in any way, he needs to be a stretch 4 !!!

I agree with that but maybe his motivation is to build him up by plus we need ot exp
Sheppard had 0/4/4 for all those shitting on Wagner. I love Sheppard and he contributed to the win still but come on. Wagner was 7/17 and Mitchell was 7/15. Would I have loved Wagner to be about 9-10/17? Yeah but he got fouled a couple times and had 3 layups barely miss that led to dunks. We still got buckets because of his driving.

Same reason you spelled would as woukd. Carelessness! J/K Don'tworryaboutit23.
I agree but how many 5* does it take to beat a team like StJ AT HOME without going into OT?
There isn't a single player on this team bigger than the team. It isn't smart coaching to risk losing a game just to make a player feel good.
He did a lot of things other than score.
This board is way over the top with its treatment of him though.
I broke my foot in high school, I had a jones fracture and I rushed the come back and I struggled my junior year because of it. Your foot just never feels fully healthy with a jones fracture, I’m not sure that’s what Bradshaw has at all. But given the timeline he should be back by now, I get being curious because with foot injuries your foot just feels weird and like something is gonna pop, but he should be back by now
we definitely going to grt better on the offense boards but our free shooting has to be better. I would like to see us in the 72-75% range
Hey its better than a blowout. Wed have learned far less is this was a 30pt beating.
Everyone on the team just got a taste of what college ball is like. Guys like Edwards and other highly touted recruits likely coasted their entire basketball careers on their immense talents.
This was a great reminder that even St. Joe's, a team that probably won't make the tournament, can hand you a beating. Every team is going to have a few guys who can make you look silly if you're not bringing it.
Hopefully this is one of those wakeup calls.
There’s a reason I majored in computer science/stats, and finance instead of English
He apparently thought he'd be back in a month to 6 weeks.. not 4 to 6 months. This Friday would put it at 5 months and change.
So maybe it is being cautious. But we really need a big, and we need them asap.
Defense. We have huge strides to make on defense. We have guys simply getting lost We can’t defend the three. 88 pts is far too many to give up to a team if that caliber. Also we need more conditioning work. Too many tongues hanging out in the end. We also have a couple guys playing hero instead of using the team to get the job done.
No more bashing Wagner. He seemed most determined on defense. No more crying about scoring and who is playing minutes based on shooting. If we don’t laser focus on defense we have a long road coming
Now that said, this was a very experienced team. We got snookered a bunch. Good learning experience for our guys.

Kenpom has them finishing tied for third at 10-8, 2 games behind Dayton.
That loss to Texas AM Commence was awful but that's a pretty good team right there.
Don't forget Sheppard had 5 steals also. He wasn't looking for his shot or forcing it this game. Maybe trying to help others who were struggling to get their confidence up.
Nice to forget about the defense that Shep played in overtime. Obviously, Shep didn't have his typical game, but he spent most of the night not looking for his shot instead of forcing bad shots.
Cats were ahead. If behind, he would've been in there I think.
Friday is the perfect game to get Bradshaw back into the fold of things. Give him 8-10 mins, and get going again
Credit to St. Joes. They played very well. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make noise in their conference. Maybe it was just tonight but they played well. All that matters is we won. Walls team beat Miami OH on a last second jumper. That was like the 3rd game too.
If those 2 bigs get to the point where they can give them any thing offensively they will be really good
You don't lose a game in a team sport by not playing your best players for that situation so that one player can grow.
If those 2 guards play like that more often than not they will be very solid. They had some athleticism and ran their offense well.
