Marquise Kennedy: the Bradley Killer

edit: I'm trademarking this

Thank you, Marquise and Keith.

Huge defensive plays by Tate and Lucas down the stretch as well

That...was a nice win. Way to battle.

Also...Kennedy. Kennedy. Kennedy. Kennedy.

Defense held strong at the end there! Glad they didn't fold despite being down most of the game and Bradley answering our runs until the end. Depth won us the game. Kennedy showing what he can do!

Hope Cam can heal from that nasty cut. How does that happen without someone trying to hurt him?

That's what you expect out of a Bradley game. Physical, closely-contested. Excellent program win and keeps us "in the conversation." Marquise was the best player on the court--they had no answer for him. Clemons' 4 threes were huge too. Great to see us get a win against a top tier Valley team when Krut/Lucas/Uguak/Hall were held to 14 TOTAL combined points. Depth matters.

Well that worked out well for you.

Good Win by a deep team !!! Favored by 7 --WIN by SEVEN-- Team play and especially by Kennedy made a rather POOR coaching job by PM go by the boards.

WE now have a winning road trip

PROCEED ONWARDS RAMBLERS !!

Bradley looked like they were playing a lot more zone defense tonight than they did last night. I think a lot of teams are going to do that until our three point shooting comes back to where it should be. Those are the shots that are usually open, and they were tonight. If you hit those, it keeps the defense from smothering the inside.

Same thing happened against Wisconsin. We just gotta make the shots that are open.

Unbelievable win given how poorly we played for 34 minutes. Particularly how poorly we shot. But our depth prevailed....and once again Marquise was EVERYWHERE. But tonight he had the points to show for it. What a performance.

Other than Clemons - the starters (and Tate) really struggled to score. Our depth was the difference.

Really gutsy win. This is what deep, veteran teams do. You know what else is great about deep teams? The opponents game prep for the starters, and then the reserves come in and kick some ass. So glad for Kennedy to get the props on CBS Sports Net.

I didn't mention it in the preview, but Loyola's five game winning streak against D-1 teams coming into the game-- believe it or not-- was the team's longest winning streak since the 14-game winning streak broken by Michigan in the 2018 Final Four. You know what? It's REALLY HARD to win five D-1 games in a row, especially against conference teams, mixed between road and home.

Finally, Loyola's KenPom.com rank remained the same at 21. The offensive efficiency number slid a bit as Bradley held Loyola to 37.5% FG shooting. But now the Ramblers have entered the Top 10 in defensive efficiency, just behind #6 Michigan, #7 Wisconsin, #8 Texas, and #9 Virginia-- all teams ranked at #14 or above in the AP Top 25.
