The Storyline
Bradley will venture away from home for the first time this year when the Braves travel to Springfield, Mass., for two games in the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament at the MassMutual Center...By winning their two home games to open the event, the Braves have improved to 57-55 all-time in 46 regular-season tournaments, including an 18-7 (.720) record in seven exempt events under ninth-year head coach Jim Les.

The Series:  USC and TCU
Bradley owns a 4-3 edge in the all-time series versus USC, but the Trojans have won the last three match-ups...Most recently, USC swept a home-and-home series at the beginning of the millennium, winning 107-92 in the 2000-01 season-opener in Los Angeles and 60-50 Dec. 1, 2001 in Peoria...Bradley owns a 6-2 advantage in the all-time series versus TCU, but all eight previous meetings were contested in Peoria...Bradley and TCU have not met since the Horned Frogs escaped Robertson Fieldhouse with an 85-83 victory Dec. 9, 1954.

Shooting For 4-0 Start
Bradley has opened with a 3-0 record for just the fourth time in the last 19 years (2006-07, 1998-99 and 1991-92) and for the 33rd time in program history...Bradley is shooting for its first 4-0 start since the 2006-07 Braves started their eventual 22-13 campaign with a 5-0 opening...Bradley has started 27 seasons with at least four straight wins, but prior to 2006-07, the Braves had not started with four wins since 1985-86 (9-0).
