What to Know

Bradley has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. The Bradley Braves and the Indiana State Sycamores will face off in a Missouri Valley battle at 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Hulman Center. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Last Wednesday, the Braves earned a 71-63 win over the Racers.

Bradley got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Connor Hickman out in front who scored 12 points along with four steals. Malevy Leons was another key contributor, scoring 17 points along with seven rebounds.

Meanwhile, Indiana State came tearing into Wednesday's contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 20.3 points) and they left with even more momentum. They walked away with an 89-83 victory over the Flames. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Indiana State to victory, but perhaps none more so than Robbie Avila, who dropped a double-double on 26 points and 11 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Isaiah Swope, who scored 30 points.

The Braves pushed their record up to 15-5 with that victory, which was their sixth straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 80.3 points per game. As for the Sycamores, their win bumped their record up to 17-3.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as Bradley and Indiana State are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Bradley hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 75.2 points per game. However, it's not like Indiana State struggles in that department as they've been averaging 85.9 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

Bradley is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss.
