A few more results from former Braves/Chris Roberts/Zach Andrews

Past Bradley Braves who will be playing in the post-season:

In the NCAA Tourney:
Mizzou- Ronnie Suggs

NIT:
Nebraska: Coach Molinari will be on the sidelines Wednesday 8pm as Nebraska plays Mississippi State
UC-Davis: Coach Les and the UC-Davis Aggies face Utah Wednesday at 8pm

CIT:
Ft. Wayne- Xzavier Taylor had 20 pts/4 reb in loss to Central Michigan
Liberty- Scottie James had 11 pts/12 reb/2 asst in win over NC A&T


But here's one irony....
MiKyle McIntosh left ISU and transferred to Oregon -
here is what he said when he left ISU:
"Another factor for the former Illinois State wing was the belief that the Ducks are headed back to the NCAA tournament,
which became an overarching theme for all of his final four suitors.
"The postseason was definitely a factor," he said. "I believe every team I mentioned will be an NCAA tournament team next year.
It was really important to me, because I always dreamed of playing in the NCAA tournament and I've never been."

OOOOPS....tuff break MiKyle - Oregon did NOT make the NCAA Tournament this year, so MiKyle will be playing in the NIT!!
 
Bradley great Marcellus Sommerville is still going strong at 36 years of age...
another big game to help his team stay in the hunt for 1st place...
19 pts, 5 rebs, 6 asst, 2 steals..



also- I will try to update our list of former Bradley Braves....
several guys like will Franklin, Zach Andrews & Patrick O'Bryant have now apparently ended their playing career. There aren't a lot of new guys since hardly anyone since the Jim Les era has gone on to play pro ball..
And add Donte Thomas - hope he has a long & successful career!

anyone I missed?
 
Former Bradley point guard Joel Okafor, who was one of Coach Wardle's first recruits back in April, 2015, spent his freshman season as a reserve at Bradley. Then he transferred to NAIA powerhouse Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana, and he has already been a part of an NAIA National Championship team as a junior last season.
Joel was mostly a reserve as a sophomore at IWU (2016-17), but he was the starter and one of the key players as a junior last season helping to lead IWU to the 2018 NAIA Division II National Championship.

Now he returns for his senior season with Indiana Wesleyan.
Indiana Wesleyan already started their 2018-19 season with a 38 point win this past Saturday-
http://www.iwuwildcats.com/article/6222

Indiana Wesleyan is near-unanimous #1 pick in the 2018-19 NAIA D2 Preseason poll that came out today-
