Note that Bradley made an effort to place home games on weekend dates this season-
Of the 6 non-conference home games, 3 are on Friday night, 2 are on Saturday, and one is Sunday late afternoon. Nice job!
 
so we still have an exhibition game that might be added, but as far as regular season non-conference games -
this should be all of them (13 games) to go with the 18-game MVC schedule

The press release by Bradley-
http://www.bradleybraves.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=3400&ATCLID=211012193

Says:
Bradley will host NCAA Division III UW-La Crosse in its lone, public exhibition game Sunday, Nov. 6 (2 p.m.) at Carver Arena.

So apparently, this will be the only exhibition game this season.

I'm not so sure playing some of these non conference games on weekends and competing against high school games is a good idea. I can't see many high school kids, their parents or just high school basketball fans, choosing to see Illinois-Springfield, SEMO, Chicago State (if they are still open) or Texas-Arlington, over their high school team.

Can't make everybody happy.
