Bradley definitely wants to play. Valpo was the reason the first series was cancelled. Then after that series was cancelled, I believe they had some staff close to the team test positive, so that is why the second weekend series was cancelled.

I hope both these programs can overcome there illness and start playing a game that these kids love.

The one positive for Bradley with the long layoff is that starting Guard Terry Nolan has been cleared to play on Sunday at UNI. He missed the Missouri game because he had to have his appendix removed. The extra time off will allow him to not miss a game. He's averaging 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3.5 Assists, and 1.6 steals per game.


Also, on another Covid related note, here's a fascinating article from the Peoria paper about the tracking system that the Valley has been using for close contacts for Covid. Kudos to the league office for being proactive and getting this going for both the Men's and Women's side to help with close contact tracing:

So depressing, I’ve been looking forward to the Loyola/Drake series all week. Well at least Loyola and Indiana State will be playing.
