PEORIA, Ill. – The start time and local television coverage for Saturday's Bradley Women's Basketball's series finale at nationally-ranked (#20/25) Missouri State have both been adjusted announced Thursday.

The game featuring the top two teams in the Missouri Valley Conference preseason poll, was originally scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. from JQH Arena in Springfield, Mo., but has moved up to a 5 p.m. start.  In addition, the game will now air locally on WMBD (CBS – 31) due to the schedule adjustment. 

The Braves and Bears kick off the series Friday with a 7 p.m. game.  Bradley is currently fourth in the MVC standings at 12-8 overall and 8-5 in Valley play.  Missouri State is alone atop the league standings at 9-0 and the Bears are 13-2 overall.
