PEORIA — At the halfway point of the Missouri Valley Conference season, Bradley is 6-3 and tied for second with Loyola and Southern Illinois, one game behind UNI.

It’s the first time the Braves have won six of their first nine league games since 2008-09 when Jim Les’ squad started 7-3 and went on to finish 10-8 and in fourth place. That team lost in the MVC tournament semifinals and went on to reach the championship game of the CollegeInsider.
