It was 6-0, @jason was sneaky
but I would not mind them being 6-2 after tomorrow lmao.
So Bradley is doing some Peoria themed uniforms with "PIA" across the chest. What the hell does "PIA" even mean? is it just the abbreviation for Peoria? If so, it would drive me crazy they just didn't put "Peoria" across the chest. I think Drake did it better with their Des Moines uniforms, you can actually see the font. The Bradley uniforms look like you are watching some German league highlight tape of a former MVC player on YouTube. Maybe it's to make their international flavor feel "at home"
We need some uniforms with Terredise across the front

Pain in ass
Saw we are a 2.5-point dog.

The PIA is the abbreviation of the Peoria airport!
Additionally a previous post indicated the Braves are 1-0 in conference play:
“the Sycamores are 1-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference and Bradley is 1-0. “
Bradley is 0-1, having lost to Murray State.
I am sure they will come out and play aggressively…, they don’t want to be 0-2 in the conference after Saturday. Good luck to the Sycamores.

PIA is their airport - Peoria International Airport. That's not a joke either.
Edit: Just as Mvcfan said in the post before mine.

Just looked the matchup on Haslametrics and they actually have us winning but it's essentially a pick'em. They have it officially State 73.83, Bradley 73.35. Wow.

I put some $$ on ISU, so I hope I didn't jinx us!
As you should. It’s a good bet as far as I’m concerned
I just have a hunch we're going to win by 10+

Game day! Going to be a long 3 and a half hours waiting for this one, go sycamores!
Player props again!! Love it.
I’m very interested to see how we defend in this game. We absolutely smothered SIU with our perimeter switching, but Bradley’s strength is their frontcourt. I expect Swope/Larry/Conwell to pick up man-to-man full court again on Hickman and Deen, and try and disrupt their flow. If we allow Bradley to settle into their half court offense, I think they have potential to grind us down inside.
We do a great job limiting three point attempts and assists, and Bradley has a propensity to turn the ball over. We need to take advantage there.
Also, for what it’s worth, Bradley is not a very good offensive rebounding team despite their length. Frankly, they’re bad at rebounding on both ends. While on paper I can see this being a concern for us, Bradley’s stats don’t show that to be a strength of their team.

+100 each for over 2.5 Avila assists and over 2.5 swope 3s made. How do you say no to that?
