The Bradley men's basketball team is slated to play in the 2020 Paradise Jam, announced by tournament organizers on Friday. In its 21st season, the Paradise Jam begins on Friday, November 20 with the championship slated for Monday, November 23 at the University of the Virgin Islands Sports and Fitness Center on St. Thomas.

Bradley joins Buffalo, Cleveland State, Colorado State, Florida International, Long Beach State, St. Bonaventure and Weber State as participants in the annual tournament.

"We're so excited for another year of the Paradise Jam with a strong field of men's teams from all over the country," said Tournament Director Jennifer Ashby. "Providing high-quality basketball to the U.S. Virgin Islands every year is something we strive to do, and we have no doubt this group of men's teams will do just that."

Bradley has played three of the other invitees in the past – most recently defeating Weber State in 2017 at the Islands of the Bahamas Showcase, 70-64. Overall, the Braves are 1-1 against the Wildcats, 0-2 versus Long Beach State and 2-3 against St. Bonaventure. BU has never faced Buffalo, Cleveland State, Colorado State or Florida International.

Game times and matchups for the 2020 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam will be announced in the spring, following the conclusion of the 2019-20 basketball season. For more information about the U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam, visit www.paradisejam.com.
