The Salukis (21-7, 10-5 Missouri Valley Conference) beat the Bradley Braves (4-24, 2-13 MVC) 71-59 in a game that had more than 30 combined turnovers.

Junior forward Sean O'Brien picked up the slack with a game-high 24 points. He was one air-balled free throw away from tying his career high.

Beane, who didn't make a shot until 3:46 left in the second half, finished 2-14 shooting. He hit back-to-back 3-pointers for his only scores in the game.

Aside from Beane's season low, junior guard Mike Rodriguez had his most points (14) since the season opener against Air Force on Nov.
