South Point Holiday Hoops Classic – Bradley
Saturday, December 21st. Las Vegas, Nevada.
Last Season: 18-17 (7-11 MVC). CIT Quarterfinal.
This Midwestern foe will give the Pilots a great test in their last non-conference of the season. Portland narrowly defeated Bradley, 57-55, last season in another holiday tournament in Vegas, and the Braves will be looking to even the score. Walt Lemon Jr. (15.6 PPG) is returning and will once again lead the scoring charge for the Braves. Bradley is also returning its leading rebounder in Tyshon Pickett (5.5 RPG).
