Bradley Men’s Basketball Ends on a High Note

The Braves attain a record crowd at Carver Arena.

Bradley’s men’s basketball team concluded another successful season in 2023-24, finishing within the top three in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) for the second consecutive year. They also qualified for postseason play in the National Invitation Tournament for the second straight season. Notably, Bradley secured their first postseason win outside the conference tournament in a decade by defeating Loyola-Chicago at Carver Arena. This victory marked Bradley’s fifth 20+ win season in the last seven years, a feat the program had not achieved since 1956-62.

During the 2023-24 season, the Braves played in front of the largest crowds in the MVC. The game against Illinois State drew more than 9,200 fans to Carver Arena, making it the largest crowd at any MVC game this past season.
