ST. LOUIS -- Bradley advanced to the championship game of Arch Madness for the second year in a row -- a first for the program -- with a 76-66 victory over Drake in a Missouri Valley Conference tournament semifinal game at Enterprise Center.
Fourth-seeded BU (22-11) will face the winner of Saturday's later game between No. 6 seed Missouri State and No. 7 Valparaiso at 1:10 p.m. Sunday.
The Braves jumped to a 44-35 halftime lead on the strength of 19 points by Darrell Brown. Brown, who finished with 25 points, got help in the second half from the other four BU starters, who all finished in double figures.
