PEORIA, IL - As the Bradley Basketball team prepares for the start of the 2015-16 season, Bradley Athletics has scheduled a full slate of activities involving the program throughout October, including a pair of open practice dates during season-ticket pickup, to allow the community the opportunity to engage with the Braves.

Among October's events schedule, Bradley Basketball will host three Season-Ticket Holder Appreciation receptions in the Renaissance Coliseum Braves Club Room. Season-ticket holders may reserve their opportunity to join Bradley Basketball head coach Brian Wardle and Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Reynolds for one of the three free receptions by contacting Chris Braun (309-677-2668 or cabraun@bradley.edu). The first of the three receptions will coincide with lunch Oct. 12, while two receptions are scheduled for Oct. 20 - breakfast at 7:30 a.m. and an afternoon reception at 3:30.

Following the Season-Ticket Holder Appreciation Events, Bradley will host two open practices at Renaissance Coliseum during the week season-ticket pickup begins. While season-ticket holders will have the opportunity to pick up their tickets at either event, both practices will be open to the general public - a traditional practice from 4-6 p.m. Oct. 28 and an intrasquad scrimmage from 10 a.m.-noon Oct. 31. Players and staff will be available for autographs and pictures following both events.
