About the Braves
The Braves will be looking to bounce back after a home loss to the Belmont Bruins, 80-77. Bradley should feel confident, as the Braves own one of the best road records in the MVC with five road victories so far this season. The BU offense was also strong in their last matchup with Belmont, connecting on 14 of 29 three-pointers and shooting 52% from the field. Almar Atlason also reminded teams of how dangerous he can be with a career day against the Bruins, recording a career-high 28 points and 2 blocks. Atlason made 11 of his 15 total shots, including six from three-point range. The Braves still rank highly among the nation's best three-point shooters with a team percentage of 40.2%, which is good enough for 1st in the MVC and 2nd in the NCAA. A long-standing record will also be tied tomorrow as Darius Hannah will match the Bradley record for most games played in a career once he checks in for his 140th game, tying Gene Melchiorre who played from 1947-1951.
