Bradley's fate is still in their own hands. If they win their last 2 games, then it doesn't matter what anyone else does.

Bradley 14-4-
At Valparaiso (5-13)
vs. Drake (14-4)
Drake 14-4-

Indiana State 13-5-

Record against other leaders-
Bradley vs.- Drake (0-1), Belmont (0-2), InSU (1-0), SIU (2-0)- 3-3 against the other top teams- only played InSU once, and will play Drake 2/26
Drake vs.- Bradley (1-0), Belmont (2-0), InSU (1-1), SIU (1-1)- 5-2 against the other top teams- will play BU on 2/26
Belmont vs.- Bradley (2-0), Drake (0-2), InSU (0-0), SIU (0-1)- 2-3 against the other top teams- only played SIU once, and will play InSU only once on 2/22
Indiana State vs.- Bradley (0-1), Drake (1-1), Belmont (0-0), SIU (1-1)- 2-3 against the other top teams- only played BU once, and will play Belmont only once on 2/22
SIU vs.- Bradley (0-2), Drake (1-1), Belmont (1-0), InSU (1-1)- 3-4 against the other top teams- only played Belmont once
SIU may have the easiest remaining schedule with no games against winning teams.
Indiana State might have the toughest remaining schedule with 2 games against winning teams. But they had a sight advantage from the uneven schedule in that they are the only team that only had to play one game against two of the top teams (Bradley & Belmont).
Drake is the only team among the 5 leaders that had to play all 4 other leaders twice each, and they are the only team, so far, with a winning record (5-2) against the top opponents. If Bradley can beat Drake, they will finish with a 4-3 record.
