Now, let\u2019s\u00a0keep in mind a couple of factors. The first is that whatever tape job Bradley received was relatively hasty. The other is that he didn\u2019t have a single second to get used to it.<\/p>\n
Assuming he needs something like that moving forward \u2014 pure guesswork at this point \u2014 the trainers will have more time to figure out what feels and fits best. And Bradley will have time to rehab and take reps with his wrist wrapped in practice.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also his left wrist\/hand, which is better than his right. It shouldn\u2019t affect his shot \u2014 which was on point in the first half, when he had 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including 2 of 2 from beyond the arc and 3 of 3 from the foul line.<\/p>\n
As is often the case with Bradley, he sensed what his team needed and provided it \u2014 in this case, scoring. That\u2019s because his backcourt mate was struggling. It was only temporary.<\/p>\n
3. No worries with Burries<\/p>\n
After a string of spectacular games \u2014 20-plus points in four of five contests \u2014 Brayden Burries went 0 for 7 from the field against Iowa State on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Then, against Houston, Burries missed his first three attempts \u2014 including a pair of air-balls from 3-point range.<\/p>\n
