What to Watch
Bradley enters the weekend at 2-2 and will look to build some momentum before they travel to Florida next weekend for the Fort Myers Tip-off. The Braves are currently leading the MVC in points per game with 79 while allowing the second fewest per game with 64. Bradley has been very efficient behind the arc on both sides of the ball, boasting the highest three-point percentage in the conference at .398 while holding opponents to the lowest mark in the conference at .200, which is also the tenth-lowest in the nation.
The Knights have struggled to start their season, posting a 2-3 record, and they are coming off an 83-76 overtime win against Wright State University. They are averaging 63.8 points per game, which is 10th in the ASUN Conference. They have also allowed 75.6 points per game, which is the second-highest in the conference. Bellarmine has been efficient from the free-throw line, as they have the second-highest free-throw percentage in the conference at .713.
The Braves will need to play a consistent and disciplined game on Sunday. The last thing that Bradley needs is to let the Knights get free shots from the charity stripe in this one, so they will need to play the same strong defense that has allowed them to be one of the best in the conference.
