In another first for the Valley, the season ending Top 25 contains two Valley teams! Interesting that the two teams Bradley beat finished ahead of them, but hey, going from no votes to the Top 25 ain't too bad.

Fantanstic!
Great to see Bradley finish the season ranked #24 in the country!
I expect this could be a good recruiting resource.From PJ Star sports expert Kirk Wessler in his Jan. 10, 2012 column following 8th loss in a row at Drake-
"Yes, the Braves are better than they were when the season started two months ago. By a light year or two, they??™re better."
And from the PJ Star 4/26/12, Dave Reynolds-
"Fields and Grier both appear to be difference makers. If Bradley continues to add the right players around them, happy days may be ahead for the Braves after a long dry spell."

Story from BU Website
PEORIA, Ill. -- The Bradley men's basketball team continues to reap the benefits of a run to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 as the Braves today finished 24th in the final ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll of the season. The final Associated Press poll of the season has not yet been released. The national ranking is the first at any point of a season for Bradley since the final poll of the 1987-88 season when the Braves finished No. 11 in the AP poll and No. 12 in what was then the UPI Coaches Poll. The 2005-06 season now is the 14th in which Bradley has been ranked in the final poll of the year. Bradley's national ranking comes on the heels of a strong second-half finish. The Braves (22-11) won 13 of their final 17 games of the season, including three wins away from home against teams that were nationally-ranked at the time of the game. The team's season-long seven-game winning streak included a 71-49 win Feb. 22 at then No. 25"Peoria, land of 10,000 coaches"
