Bradley heads to Chicago with plenty at stake in regular-season finale

CHICAGO — A hot Bradley team will take its show on the road one more time in this wacky Missouri Valley Conference season Saturday, when the Braves travel to a sold out Gentile Arena to face first-place Loyola in the regular-season finale.

Bradley (17-13, 9-8) has won six of its last seven games and likely will avoid the play-in round of the MVC tournament next week. The Braves could land a seed anywhere between No. 4 and No. 7 depending on how the league’s five games play out Saturday. The Ramblers (18-12, 11-6) will earn either the No.
