Junior Nate Kennell became the first member of the Bradley men's basketball team to receive Missouri Valley Conference Sixth Man of the Year accolades, announced by the league on Tuesday.
Kennell, who shared the honor with Spencer Haldeman of Northern Iowa, is the first Brave to earn the award since it was first presented in 1997. He is also the first BU player to win any individual specialty honor from the Valley since Dyricus Simms-Edwards was named the league's Defensive Player of the Year in 2013.
The junior finished the regular season ranking third on the team with 9.
