OPENING TIPS
• For the third time this season, Bradley will complete a back-to-back set of games against teams who won at least 30 games last season when the Braves host Northern Iowa Wednesday night at Carver Arena.
• Fans are reminded, Wednesday's game will tip an hour later than typical for a midweek game, 8 p.m., to accommodate television coverage on the MVC-TV Network, which will include clearances on FOX Sports Midwest; FOX Sports Indiana; FOX Sports Kansas City; Comcast SportsNet Chicago; DirecTV (665, 671); Dish Network (418, 429); AT&T U-Verse (748); AT&T U-Verse HD (1748); and ESPN3 (outside the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri).
• Wednesday's game will be the 57th meeting in the all-time series and comes on the 45th anniversary of the first-ever meeting between the Braves and Panthers - Jan. 27, 1971 at Robertson Fieldhouse.
• The series is tied at 28-28 and Bradley will be trying to prevent UNI from becoming the second current Valley member (Missouri State) to pull ahead in the all-time series against the Braves.
• While 10 of the 11 players expected to dress for Bradley Wednesday are true freshmen, UNI has not played a freshman the entire season.
