EVANSVILLE, Ind. - It's a stat sheet that almost defies logic. How could Bradley commit 32 fouls, send the opponent to the line 46 times, give up 16 offensive rebounds and total 18 turnovers on the road and, win by, um, 11?
The answer is as simple as the game of basketball itself: Make more baskets than the other team.
In the case of the Braves' 74-63 win Wednesday at Evansville, it was a lot more - 26-12.
And there was this just-as-relevant fact - the Purple Aces' 23.5 field-goal percentage was the worst in any game of coach Marty Simmons' 10-year tenure at the school.
