Road warriors is not a term anyone has used to describe Bradley basketball for a long time.
In the most confounding Missouri Valley Conference season in memory, even though the Braves remain tied for last place, they’ve earned a moniker usually reserved for champions.
Bradley won its third road game in its last four MVC outings Wednesday, besting Northern Iowa 79-71 at Cedar Falls. It marked the first time the Braves have won three league contests in a season in a decade.
And they achieved this victory at a place they haven’t won since 2008, ending an 11-game skid at the McLeod Center.
