The Missouri State men’s basketball team beat a short-handed Bradley University squad 80-58 Saturday evening.
It was announced by Bradley 30 minutes before the game started that Bradley players Elijah Childs, Ja’Shon Henry, Danya Kingsby and Terry Nolan Jr. were suspended for the weekend series due to violations of Bradley program standards. Childs has been named to the Missouri Valley Conference All-Conference team two years in a row and was the Braves’ leading scorer.
Initially, it was hard to tell Bradley was down those players. The Braves jumped out to a 9-2 lead by the first media timeout.
