PEORIA — As if playing at home against a national program like Wichita State isn’t thrilling enough for Bradley’s young men’s basketball team at 1 p.m. Sunday at Carver Arena, the day takes on added significance for BU freshman Antoine Pittman.
The 6-foot-1 guard will match up vs. his hometown role model, WSU all-American senior guard Fred VanVleet, who played with and mentored Pittman with the Rockford-based PrimeTime AAU program as well as at Rockford Auburn High School.
