Short Handed Braves Push Past SEMO

Peoria, IL. The short handed Bradley Braves protect home court against pesky Southeast Missouri State.

1st Half

The first half of action did not start how Bradley would've hoped. The troubles began even before the opening tip as starting shooting guard Connor Hickman was ruled out of the contest with ankle injury as a game time decision. This put the Braves down 3 starters and thrusted both Ja'shon Henry and Ville Tahvanainen into starting roles. Between the lines SEMO would start off burying five of their first 6 three pointers putting the Redhawks up 33-27 with under 6 minutes to go in the half.
