Bradley Athletics Announces Basketball Fan Initiatives

Men's Basketball 11/12/2020 10:00:00 AM

While the Bradley basketball programs will start the 2020-21 campaign without fans in Peoria, the BU Athletic Department announced on Thursday ways to stay connected with the teams.

Fans can still have their presence felt at Carver Arena and Renaissance Coliseum this season by purchasing cutouts of themselves or their loved ones – including pets – to be placed in either basketball arena. With all proceeds benefiting the Bradley Braves Club, cutouts are available for purchase for $75 for a single picture or $125 for a pair of cutouts. The fan cutouts will be placed on the television side of the lower seating bowl for as long as the venues remain closed to fans during the 2020-21 campaign.

To guarantee fan cutout placement by the beginning of the non-conference season, orders should be placed by November 20, while orders by December 20 would guarantee your spot for the Missouri Valley Conference campaign. After that date, remaining cutouts will be placed as soon as possible throughout the season. For more information and to purchase your fan cutouts, visit https://fevo.me/2G42rRb.

Additionally, the Fan Cam video submission campaign asks Bradley fans to submit videos cheering on the Braves, singing the National Anthem and announcing the starting lineups. Approved videos will be used in-arena on game day to support the teams, while videos may also be featured on Braves' social media accounts.

Fans can learn about the submission process and rules of entry by visiting https://bradleybraves.com/sports/2020/10/27/fan-cams.aspx.

More fan initiatives may be announced as the season begins.

The Bradley men's basketball team has won back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference Championships for the first time in school history, while also qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1954 and 1955. The Braves are officially slated to begin the 2020-21 campaign Wednesday, Nov. 25 against Toledo at the Xavier Invitational.

The BU women's program was selected second in the annual MVC Preseason Poll – its highest placement in school history – after a school-record 22 wins during the 2019-20 season. Bradley opens its season Nov. 25 at Renaissance Coliseum against Kansas City.
