Bradley will play its first of nine Missouri Valley Conference home games Saturday when the Braves host early league leader Evansville (9-4, 2-0) in a 7:05 p.m. contest at Carver Arena.? The Braves (9-4, 0-1) will be trying for their third consecutive win against the Aces while also trying to extend their 14-game home winning streak.
Interesting article from the Evansville perspective. They have won 2 straight home games against MVC foes by large margins.
They beat Illinois State back on Dec.9th 69-41, and just beat Drake Thursday, 78-57. They come into the Bradley game with a 2-0 conference record and a lot of confidence.
This article suggests they should prepared to play well against Bradley since BU plays a similar guard-oriented style similar to ISU and Drake which they dominated.
They say they will play an unside-first style of offense.
Evansville has a fine basketball tradition, but yet I can still only find six players from Evansville who ever played a game in the NBA.
Dan Godfread from Stillman Valley, IL (graduated from UE 1990)
Bill Bradley (1967)
Harold Brown (1946)
Don Buse (1972)
Scott Haffner a transfer from Illinois (1989)
Jerry Sloan (1965)
Only Sloan and Buse played more than a handful of games, and Bradley only played in the ABA.
Dan Godfread also played for the Rockford Lightning, and was signed on December 29 in 1990 to a 10 day contract but stayed with the team through March, appearing ni 10 games and scoring a total of 13 career points.
TRIVIA QUESTION:
Which Evansville player OWNS his ALL TIME CAREER CONFERENCE scoring record for the number of points scored in a single game?
also name the Evansville player who owns his CONFERENCE's ALL TIME CAREER BLOCKS record?
Mouse over to see answers:
Horizon League:
Scoring
Single Game - 65, Scott Haffner, Evansville vs. Dayton, Feb. 18, 1989
Blocks
Career - 226, Dan Godfread, Evansville, 1985-90
Both records are still the all time records for the Horizon Conference, which the University of Evansville was a member of at that time.
