PEORIA, Ill. - With a major winter storm bearing down on Central Illinois, Bradley University has changed the start time of tonight's Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball game versus Creighton to 3 p.m. this afternoon at Carver Arena.

"There were many factors that went into this decision, but student-athlete, staff and public safety were of the utmost concern," said Bradley Director of Athletics Dr. Michael Cross.  "A storm of significant proportions is forecast throughout the Midwest and with the brunt of that storm scheduled to hit Peoria during the regular time of the game, moving the game time earlier seemed prudent. 

"Anyone planning to attend the game should exercise extreme caution and sound judgment."

The change in time will not affect WMBD's ability to broadcast the game on 1470 AM and the Braves Plus pregame show with Dan DiOrio will begin at 2 o'clock.  In addition, Bradley Athletics will provide its standard audio and video streams online at www.BradleyBraves.com.  Today's video stream, which will include the radio call by Dave Snell and Danny Adams over the in-house video feed, will be available at no charge.
