INDIANA ST. (14-10, 5-8) PPG RPG

SYCAMORES KEYS Keep Braves from driving effectively, control boards and hit free throws.

NOTEWORTHY: Bradley leads all-time series 47-29, but Indiana State has won four meetings in a row. The Sycamores longest winning streak in the series is five games. ... BU has lost six games in a row and 15 of its last 16, while Indiana State has won three of its last four after opening the Valley season 2-7. ... With a loss, Bradley will clinch at least a tie for last place in the MVC. The three other times BU finished last (1978-79, 1991-92 and 2010-11), the stigma was shared by another team. ... Other potential school records to watch down the stretch: BU has never won fewer than three Valley games in a season nor have the Braves lost more than 23 games overall in a year. RPIs: Bradley 230, Indiana State 114. PREDICTION: Indiana State 80, Bradley 67 (Dave Reynolds prediction record 18-7)
