Peoria, Ill. – The Bradley men's basketball team ran past Lewis on Monday night, earning a 95-62 victory at Carver Arena. The Braves improve to 4-2 with the winning effort.

Junior Ja'Shon Henry led four Braves in double figures with a season-best 19 points, making 5-of-6 field goals to go with nine free throws in just 18 minutes of action.

After the Braves answered a Flyers 3-pointer with one of their own, the Flyers would never be within seven points the remainder of the game.
