The Missouri Valley Conference released its men's basketball schedule on Tuesday, completing the 2021-22 Bradley slate.
The Braves once again host all nine MVC schools in the league's traditional 18-game round-robin format. Highlighting the 2021-22 Valley schedule is five home weekend contests, including against in-state rivals Illinois State and Southern Illinois, plus a rare early December home game.
Bradley opens the conference season Wednesday, Dec. 1 at Carver Arena against Northern Iowa. It marks the earliest MVC game in school history for BU – one day earlier than the 1950-51 opener against Houston on Dec. 2.
