NORMAL — When Bradley defeated Illinois State 75-63 on Jan. 22 at Carver Arena, the Braves did so without their top two scorers — Elijah Childs and Darrell Brown — who were both injured.
Both are back for the Braves at 6 p.m. Wednesday when the Interstate 74 rivals square off in a rare final week matchup at Redbird Arena.
“I wouldn't say the challenge is any different,” said ISU coach Dan Muller. “They run the same plays. Maybe facing both of them for the first time with so many new guys on our team, maybe you're not used to guarding them.
