PEORIA, Ill. (March 28, 2006) ? The Bradley men's basketball team saw its season come to an end in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 last week, but fourth-year Braves head coach Jim Les is still working toward the Final Four.

 

Les joined Illinois head coach Bruce Weber, California head coach Ben Braun and Alabama head coach Mark Gottfried to tape the “Dell presents March Madness Coaches Show” Monday evening in Chicago.  The show, which was hosted by Tim Brando and Marques Johnson, will air today at 3 p.m. in all markets on the Fox Sports Network, including the network's affiliate broadcast on cable systems in the Peoria area, FSN Midwest.

 

In his fourth season at Bradley, Les directed the Braves to a 22-11 overall record and a magical run to the NCAA Tournament Oakland Regional semifinals.  Bradley received an at-large entry into the NCAA Tournament as the No. 13 seed and the Braves knocked off #12 Kansas (77-73) and #16 Pittsburgh (72-66) to reach the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1955.

 

The four coaches gathered in Chicago to discuss the 2006 NCAA Tournament and preview this weekend's Final Four.
