These are the kind of games I hoped we would schedule, good mid-major teams. This non conf. season is the best one we have had for a long time.Now all we have to do is go out there and win these games.
 
Bradley's first game after the SoCal Challenge is a home game Saturday, Nov. 25 against Vermont.
Vermont was 4-0 prior to today, after beating Charleston and St. Louis in the first 2 rounds of the Myrtle Beach Invitational. But they lost today to Liberty in the championship game 71-61 - https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401582114

They have a home game Wednesday against Division III Northern Vermont-Johnson, so likely they will be 5-1 when they play Bradley Nov. 25.
