The Missouri Valley Conference released its men's basketball schedule on Thursday, completing the 2022-23 Bradley slate.
Highlighting the Braves' home schedule is a January date with I-74 rival Illinois State, contests against the Valley's newest schools in Belmont, Murray State and UIC and a marquee game versus Drake in the regular-season finale. Overall, Bradley plays nine of the 11 Valley schools both home and away, while also hosting Evansville and traveling to face Indiana State.
Bradley will be challenged right from the start as the team opens the conference season Wednesday, Nov. 30 at Carver Arena against defending regular-season champion Northern Iowa.
