Bradley kept things very close against Arizona. Then the 2nd half happened.
Tonight's game did not start the way any of us could have predicted. The 12th-ranked Arizona Wildcats marched on to the floor, looking to win their 40th straight game at McKale Center, taking on an extremely young mid-major Bradley Braves team, with a new head coach.
Then, we found out that Bradley came to play. They worked to find open shots throughout the first half and made hustle plays left and right. Most of Arizona's first half points came off sheer physicality, driving to the basket and forcing Bradley to foul.
