Northern Illinois announced that later this season it will commemorate a moment when legendary men's basketball star Jim Bradley was photographed for Sports Illustrated.
Bradley, who was a star player for the Huskies for two seasons, was photographed by Heinz Kluetmeier while surrounded by cornstalks while wearing his white Northern Illinois jersey – making it inside the magazine's 1971-72 season issue.
Northern Illinois will hold a ceremony in the south lobby of the NIU Convocation Center at noon on Feb. 13 that is open to fans – the event being part of the school's spring homecoming activities before the Huskies' doubleheader with the women's team playing Central Michigan at 1 p.
