Bradley to host New Mexico in MWC-MVC Challenge Series

Bradley will host New Mexico on Saturday, Dec. 1, as part of the 2018 men’s basketball Challenge Series between the Mountain West and Missouri Valley conferences.

Pairings for the 10-game series were unveiled Thursday.

Bradley and New Mexico, which has won four conference titles in the last decade, will meet for the first time since the 1964 NIT championship game won by the Braves 86-54 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

New Mexico went 19-15 last season and was 12-6 in the Mountain West. The Lobos lost to San Diego State 82-75 in the title game of the conference tournament.
