PEORIA, Ill. – Bradley Men's Basketball will bring the action back to campus this winter with Hoops on the Hilltop, a special regular-season matchup against North Central College on Sunday, Dec. 14, at 1:00 p.m. inside Renaissance Coliseum.
A Return to the Hilltop
For the first time in a decade, Braves fans will experience Bradley Basketball where it all began, on the Hilltop. Hoops on the Hilltop is a special on-campus event that offers a unique, close-up experience for our campus. Because seating is limited and the venue is smaller than Carver Arena, this will be a standalone event separate from season ticket packages, giving fans an exclusive chance to experience the excitement up close.
Gameday Information
The Braves and Cardinals will tip off at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14, inside Renaissance Coliseum. Due to limited capacity, this game is not included in season-ticket packages.

New Look Braves
