PEORIA, Ill. – The 2013-14 Bradley Men's Basketball schedule continues to near completion with today's announcement of non-conference home start times and locations, as well as the date for the annual Red-White Scrimmage.
The unofficial start to the hoops season will be Oct. 18 when the Bradley Men's and Women's Basketball teams host the annual Red-White Scrimmage in Renaissance Coliseum. A featured event in the school's Homecoming schedule, the 8 p.m. event will be a lead-into the popular Late Night BU student activity. Admission will be $5 for the Red-White Scrimmage.
Meanwhile, the Bradley men's basketball non-conference schedule will include three games on campus at Renaissance Coliseum, a pair of doubleheaders with the women's basketball team and a pair of Saturday night games.
