Bradley at Illinois State
Unlike recent seasons, this one has been a struggle for the downstate teams. In fact, this is a battle of the last place teams in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Bradley's struggles are somewhat confusing because they returned four of their starters from last season. Senior Andrew Warren is leading the team in scoring with 19 ppg and tied for the team-lead with Jordan Prosser for rebounds with 5.4 rpg. Dodie Dunson is the only other player averaging double digits in scoring, putting in 10 ppg. One positive for the Braves has been that they have won four of their last six games, after losing 11 straight.
Illinois State, on the other hand, lost Osiris Eldridge and Dinma Odiakosa from last year's squad, so it was somewhat expected to struggle, but whether it was this much, it is unknown. The Redbirds have lost 14 of their last 17, including their last six. After being explosive on offense in recent seasons, Illinois State has only one player, Austin Hill who is averaging over 10 ppg and he is only pouring in 10.6 ppg. Prediction: Bradley 67-60
