Bradley shot like s*** and slept through 30 minutes before beating Truman State 69-47. Connor Hickman returned to the lineup and promptly got hurt again so who the heck knows whats going on there.

The Braves are a Thursday team.

If the Racers do not beat MTSU Saturday, you can stick a fork in them. Not only do they need to win, they need to win convincingly.

To be fair, two-thirds of the league are Thursday teams.

That said, if Hickman doesn't get fully healthy it's hard to see Bradley having enough guard depth to make it through the grind.

For sure on both points. With a healthy HIckman - Bradley could sneak into #4 - MAYBE. Without him - they are 7th/8th. There can't be a school in America that whiffed in the transfer portal as badly as Bradley.

Even though we are still about 3 hours from the scheduled tip, apparently Cincinnati has already beaten Evansville. At least according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Unfortunately, it appears Ben Humrichous may be out with some type of ankle/foot injury. Nothing official but appears to have a boot on.

Aces up by 8 at the half. Not bad with two of our top players out.
