PEORIA — Darrell Brown missed just the second game of his four-year Bradley career on Wednesday. But it was business as usual for the short-handed Braves in their 75-63 victory over Illinois State.

“It hurts when Darrell’s not in the game,” said his longtime backcourt running mate Nate Kennell, who had 18 points. “He controls the tempo, he scores, he does it all for us. I hope we get him back soon.

“But if he’s out or in, I need to stay aggressive and in attack mode. I have to set the tone on defense and continue to lead.
