PEORIA, IL - In conjunction with Tuesday's release of the 2016-17 Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball schedule, Bradley Basketball has announced the dates and times for three season-ticket holder appreciation events. Head coach Brian Wardle and Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Reynolds invite Bradley Basketball season-ticket holders to one of three social events in advance of the program's 113th season.

The three season-ticket holder events are scheduled in three time slots - Tuesday, Oct. 4 (7:30-9 a.m.); Tuesday, Oct. 4 (3:30-5 p.m.); and Wednesday, Oct. 5 (11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.) - in the Braves Club Room at Renaissance Coliseum. Reservations are limited for each of the three events and will be made on a first-come, first-served basis by contacting Bradley Basketball Administrative Assistant Chris Braun (309-677-2668 or cabraun@bradley.edu).

Following the 13-game non-conference season, which was announced earlier this summer, Bradley's 18-game Missouri Valley Conference slate will open Thursday, Dec. 29, when the Braves host Southern Illinois at Carver Arena. Other highlights in the double, round-robin league slate include:

The Braves will host I-74 rival Illinois State on the first day of Bradley University's 2017 spring semester - Wednesday, Jan. 18 - and will visit the Redbirds Saturday, Feb. 11.
Bradley will play four of its first seven league games at home, as well as four of its final seven.
Wichita State will visit Carver Arena for a Sunday date, Jan. 29, the week in between the NFL conference championship games and Super Bowl LI.
Bradley's 2016-17 regular-season home finale will be Wednesday, Feb. 22 when the Braves host Missouri State.
The nine Valley home games include four weekend dates - Saturday, Jan. 7 (Loyola Chicago); Sunday, Jan. 29 (Wichita State); Saturday, Feb. 4 (Drake); and Saturday, Feb. 18 (Evansville).

Start times for the bulk of Bradley's 2016-17 games still are to be determined.
