  • 2018-19 Bradley team Wikipedia page

    There is a Wikipedia page set up for the 2018-19 Bradley men's basketball team-


    I was just made aware of this webpage, which was set up initially several months ago and had not been updated. So if fans want a single web page with all the information about 2018-19 team, roster, recruits, schedule, results, etc., bookmark this page and we will keep it updated.

    Whoever created and updated this Wiki page did a FANTASTIC job! Thank you!

      but there is still one error if someone knows how to edit it...
      scroll to the bottom and where it names the venues Bradley has played in, they say we played in the Bradley Gymnasium from 1909 to 1949. But that is incorrect, since from 1925 to 1949 we played at the Peoria Armory.

        Fixed


        According to the official Bradley Men's Basketball Record Book, Bradley played at these venues for the following dates-

        Peoria YMCA 1902-1909
        Bradley Hewitt Gymnasium 1909-1924
        Peoria Armory 1924-1941
        Woodruff High School Gymnasium 1941-1943
        Athletic Programs disbanded due to WWII 1943-1945
        Peoria Armory 1945-1949
        Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse 1949-1982
        Carver Arena 1982-present

        I also edited the page to show the list of Bradley head coaches

          100 years ago (between 1909 and 1925)
          Bradley played their basketball games in Hewitt Hall, which is now called the Hartmann Center for the Performing Arts.
          ..a lot of old timers had their gym classes there...

          But I ran across this blurb about the Hewitt Gymnasium from an old source...

          "The Hartmann Center was originally built as Hewitt Gymnasium in 1908 at a cost of $75,000.
          The gymnasium was completed in the fall of 1909, and it was regarded as the finest facility
          in Illinois of its kind outside of Chicago and the third-largest gymnasium in the nation.
          There were bowling alleys, pool tables, and an indoor track of 26 laps to the mile running above the main floor.
          There was ample seating for basketball games, and sporting events were held at the gymnasium until 1925.
          A swimming pool was built on the ground floor that today is part of the orchestra pit. The Hartmann Center
          was renovated in the 1970's, changing from a gymnasium to a theater and art gallery."
