PEORIA -- The No. 1 lesson from the Bradley-Northern Iowa basketball game Wednesday night at Carver Arena:
You leave good shooters open, they’ll make shots. In fact, if you leave questionable shooters open, you might discover they’re better than advertised.
Defense on the 3-point line took the night off as the two teams combined to make 23 of 43 attempts, resulting in 58 percent of the game’s offense generated by the long ball.
