Bradley opens MVC slate on road at Drake
Bradley’s men’s basketball team will open its 2017-18 Missouri Valley Conference season at Drake on Thursday, Dec. 28, according to the conference office’s Tuesday release of the entire league schedule.
BU, which tied for sixth in the Valley standings last year at 7-11 and was 13-20 overall, finished last season with a three-game sweep of the Bulldogs, including wins in the final regular-season contest and in the opening round of the Valley tournament in St. Louis.
The Braves open their home conference schedule Sunday, Dec. 31 vs. Northern Iowa. It’s the first New Year’s Eve contest at home for BU since the 1996-97 season.
