Junior forward Sean O'Brien looks to make a pass during SIU’s 71-59 victory against Bradley on Wednesday at SIU Arena. O’Brien led the Salukis in scoring with 24 points in the game.

Amid a sloppy game, junior forward Sean O’Brien cut though the Bradley defense for a game-high 24 points, one shy of tying his career high. Whether it was posting up Bradley’s bigs or shooting a mid-range jumper, O’Brien was feeling it all night. The Dawgs beat the Braves 71-59, in a game that was pretty close through out the first half.

The teams combined for more than 30 turnovers, but the Salukis got key contribution from their supporting cast.
