What to Know
Bradley has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. The Bradley Braves and the Indiana State Sycamores will face off in a Missouri Valley battle at 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Hulman Center. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
On Wednesday, the Braves earned a 71-63 win over the Racers.
Bradley got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Connor Hickman out in front who scored 12 points along with four steals. Malevy Leons was another key contributor, scoring 17 points along with seven rebounds.
Meanwhile, Indiana State came tearing into Wednesday’s contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 20.3 points) and they left with even more momentum. They walked away with an 89-83 victory over the Flames. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Indiana State to victory, but perhaps none more so than Robbie Avila, who dropped a double-double on 26 points and 11 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Isaiah Swope, who scored 30 points.
The Braves pushed their record up to 15-5 with that victory, which was their sixth straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 80.3 points per game. As for the Sycamores, their win bumped their record up to 17-3.
Saturday’s match is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: Bradley just can’t miss this season, having made 47.7% of their shots per game. However, it’s not like Indiana State (currently ranked second in field goal percentage per game) struggles in that department as they’ve made 51.2% of their shots per game this season. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Bradley came up short against Indiana State in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, falling 85-77. Can Bradley avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll find out soon enough.

Braden Smith spent four seasons with Purdue basketball proving all the power conference programs who overlooked him missed out.
Now the former Boilermaker point guard has a chance to do the same in the NBA.
Smith, a Westfield native, is headed to the Pacers after Indiana traded for him when the Chicago Bulls selected him with the 38th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, a source confirmed to IndyStar.
Smith is Purdue’s third draft pick in five years, joining lottery picks Jaden Ivey and Zach Edey among a group of now 11 NBA draft selections to play at Purdue under Matt Painter.
Here’s a look at Smith’s Purdue career and what he brings to the Pacers.
Before capping a career that includes two Big Ten regular season and two Big Ten Tournament championships, along with helping Purdue end a 44-year Final Four drought, Smith broke former Duke guard Bobby Hurley’s all-time NCAA assists record.
Along the way, Smith took home the 2025 Bob Cousy Award as the nation’s top point guard in a season where he also was the Big Ten Player of the Year. A two-time consensus first-team All-American, Smith finished his Purdue career eighth in career points (1,932), third in steals (249) and has the top three assist seasons in school history that helped add to his NCAA record total of 1,103.
Smith’s knock is his 5-foot-10 1/2 height measurement, but that didn’t deter him from being one of college basketball’s top players.
What Smith lacked in height, he made up for in basketball IQ. He’s lethal with a midrange jump shot and showcased an unblockable fadeaway that allowed him to shoot over lengthier defenders. He mastered manipulating defenses while playing with marquee big men the last four seasons.
His role in the NBA likely will be not require him to be the team’s primary playmaker immediately. Smith’s awareness of that fact pushed a more defensive-minded approach in preparation for the next level. At the NBA Draft Combine in May, Smith showed he’s capable of defending elite guards.
Smith is an elite competitor who never showed to shy away from the dirty work, which is something that can help him earn NBA minutes as a rookie while trying to find his footing in an unfamiliar backup role.
