GAME 16 | TIP-OFF NOTES
1) Bradley leaves the state of Illinois for the only time in a 10-game stretch Wednesday when the Braves visit #15 Wichita State.
2) Wednesday's game will be the 136th meeting in the all-time series. The Braves own a 71-64 lead in the series, which dates back to Bradley's 72-63 non-conference win March 6, 1948 at the old Peoria Armory.
3) Bradley will be trying to snap several skids Wednesday at Wichita State: five straight losses at Koch Arena, nine straight losses overall to the Shockers, 10 straight defeats against nationally-ranked teams and 11 consecutive losses away from home.
4) Conversely, Wichita State has won 23 consecutive games against Missouri Valley Conference competition and 24 consecutive home games.
5) Bradley has yet to play a game this season with its full lineup in tact and that streak is expected to continue as both leading scorer Warren Jones (foot stress fracture) and center Jermaine Morgan (high ankle sprain) nurse lower leg injuries, though both continue to near returns to the court.
