Ja’Shon Henry and Ville Tahvanainen Earn Valley Honors

A pair of Bradley men's basketball players added to the Braves postseason accolades as sophomore forward Ja'Shon Henry was named to the Missouri Valley Conference Most Improved Team, while freshman guard Ville Tahvanainen collected All-Bench Team accolades.

Henry more than doubled his output from a season ago, averaging 9.7 points and 6.1 rebounds during his sophomore campaign. Henry raised his scoring average by 4.5 points and his rebounds by 3.7 as he tallied 4.2 points and 2.4 boards as a rookie. The forward also scored in double figures 16 times during the 2019-20 campaign after three 10-plus point contests as a freshman.
