PEORIA — The Bradley women’s basketball team is right to be excited.
Holiday music pumped through the speakers at a Friday morning practice as Braves coach Andrea Gorski smiled and playfully dribbled a ball around her players as they warmed up.
The players laughed. Assistant coaches danced on the sidelines.
The Braves (8-1) have won seven straight games heading into their final two nonconference games of the season, scheduled for next weekend in Kansas City. They’ve won 10 in a row at home.
And Peoria’s Missouri Valley Conference program isn’t alone in its success. The Valley is rated a record No.
