HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - Nevada guard Malik Story scored a game-high 20 points, capped by two free throws with 5.8 seconds remaining, to seal a 63-59 win against Bradley (3-3) in the consolation game of the Chicago Invitational Challenge Wednesday evening at the Sears Centre.

Senior forward Taylor Brown led Bradley with 18 points to join Story on the all-tournament team.  Sophomore guard Walt Lemon, Jr. added 14 points for the Braves, while forward Olek Czyz chipped in 18 points for Nevada (4-3).

Bradley trailed by as many as 12 points midway through the first half, but sliced the deficit in half (34-28) at halftime.  The Braves pulled to within one point four times in the second half and twice faced one-and-one free throw situations trailing 59-57 inside the final minute.  Bradley came up empty on both trips, however, and the Wolf Pack capitalized when Czyz scored inside for a 61-57 lead with 18.4 remaining and split two free throws with 10.9 seconds left for a 62-57 lead.

Bradley finished the game 8-for-13 (.615) at the free throw line and missed the front end of four one-and-one situations overall.  Nevada made 14-of-19 (.737) free throw attempts and also drained 10-of-19 (.526) attempts from behind the 3-point arc.

After playing six games in the first 16 days of the season, including three in the last five days, Bradley will have a week off before returning to action next Saturday at Wyoming in the third annual Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge Series.
