Bradley Central vs Maryville

[GovMan]

Excited about getting to see the Maryville vs Bradley game. I really think Maryville will have an edge. Oglesby will be hard to handle, but I think Maples will frustrate him some. My scouting reports tell me that neither of the Bradley big men are as talented as the Douglas kid from Maryville. And with the 6'8" Reynolds kid in, Maryville gets a slight nod in the inside game I believe.

 

And the "well" is so much deeper for Maryville after those three. Basille is so hard to defend with that fade-away of his (hopefully he'll keep his attitude in check). Jordan Damron is "one of the best kept secrets in the state" ... although the more he plays on the post-season stage, the less a secret he becomes. Wes Lambert is a gym rat who is capable of hitting a bunch of threes at any time and who plays tough, tough d. Jolly, Pickle, and Allen are strong, big post players who play at a level that allows Coach Eldredge to rest his other big men plenty. Click is a solid ball handling guard who can knock down the three. Hunt is a kid who hasn't played as much as I thought this year, but who has plenty of varsity experience and knows what it is like to "play on a big stage."

 

Basically, Coach E has the luxury of going 8 - 9 deep at any point in the game. That's huge and I believe it is a definite advantage in this particular game.

I've only seen them play once, but here's some advice on Bradley...Don't leave T.O. open from 3 point range because he will burn you. HOWEVER, if he's driving towards the paint doing the "360 degree dipsy doodle out of control move" don't foul him and bail him out. White county fouled him 4 times while he was driving to the hoop like that and he went 8 for 8 from the free throw line. When White county let him shoot while driving to the hoop he usually missed.

 

Something else.....if Dodd gets the ball in a good position where he's going to get the EASY layup.....FOUL HIM....I don't know his free throw percentage for the season, but in our game he was really clanking his free throws off the rim and missing them. Hack a Shaq. Just my opinion. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Douglas or Reynolds may just send it to the students sections when Dodd gets it.

Think that way and see what happenes Bradley you will be in for a game. If Basile gets hot and Aaron establishes himself early then it will be a bad trip for the Bears.
