Pregame Notes
• Bradley owns a 6-4 lead in the all-time series, which dates back to 1932.
• The teams have faced off just one time, 2005, since Bradley swept a pair of neutral-site games in 1975 in New Orleans.
• Bradley has won 11 of its last 15 games and the Braves are coming off a 2-game weekend split against #16 Missouri State to wrap its first home stand of the season.
• Northwestern snapped a 6-game skid with an 11-3 win Sunday at Nebraska.
• While Bradley will be playing seven of its next eight games on the road, Northwestern will play seven of its next eight games at home.
• Wednesday's game will be the second of Bradley's three games versus the Big 10 Conference this year - the Braves lost at Iowa March 22 and will host the Hawkeyes April 20 at Dozer Park.
