Bradley Hall of Famer Hersey Hawkins, who is the All-Time leading scorer in Missouri Valley Conference history, will reportedly be attending the game.
Hersey finished his career at Bradley after the 1987-88 season with 3,008 career points. At that time, his 3,008 points ranked as the 4th highest total in NCAA history, and it currently ranks 11th all-time.
Bradley has not yet announced anything about this visit.
 
Saturday's game with Drake is one of the 4 remaining games that have special ticket prices that support Bradley's NIL program and ultimately support the Bradley players.
$10 tickets are now available for $6, $15 tickets for $10, and $35 tickets for $25. What a deal!
Save a lot of money and stock up on tickets for this game! - https://fevo-enterprise.com/group/Hotb
 
The game against Evansville was a classic trap game, we were bound to have a dud somewhere in here. The game was sandwiched right between an in state rival and a perpetual top team in the Valley. Remember, this team had only last once since before Christmas. I expect Bradley to come out with a chip on their shoulder and frustrate Drake. I also expect our best players to play better than they did at Evansville. It was a relatively poor performance from almost all involved.

Bradley: 74
Drake 68

Sometimes you just come out flat and that's what happened on Wed. I thought we did a great job to fight in that game - didn't appear we had a letdown, but the energy level was a notch down from the ISU-red game, which was expected.
 
Let's get it DONE! Driving 3.5 hrs from Chicago area for my annual Peoria game and will be my son's 1st trip to Carver.
Can't beat the $10 tix in upper bowl - center court.
Should be fun!
 


This one gave me a good laugh.

I'm glad I "got" so many of you. Sorry the quality wasn't perfect, but it did it's job. :)

​​​​​We need to get a few of these remaining difficult games to assure we stay in the top 4. Honestly, that's all that matters at this point, if not trying to stay in the Top 3 to avoid Indiana State until the Championship.

This might be blasphemy but I honestly felt Drake was better than us last year, even though we took the regular season title. This year? They seem much more gettable. Hopefully Mal can have a big bounce back. If he can make Tucker look as bad as he did in Peoria we have a good chance.
