Wessler: Loss puts Bradley on road back to Arch Madness pig pen

PEORIA - Well, folks, it's back to the Arch Madness play-in pig for Bradley.

That's not official, of course. Mathematically, Bradley could win its last five games of the regular season and perhaps, if necessary, win a tiebreaker that would put the Braves into sixth place and lift them out of the bottom four in the Missouri Valley Conference.

But let's be real.

The last time Bradley won two Valley games in a row was three years ago this week. The last time the Braves won three MVC contests in a row was 2010.
