Bradley will wait ’til next year
There will be no postseason for the Bradley Braves men’s basketball team this year.
Coach Jim Les announced his decision in a news release late Tuesday afternoon.
“While we have had good experiences in the CBI and CIT the last two years, our focus right now needs to be on preparing the team for next season,” Les said in the release.
The Braves finish the 2009-10 season with a 16-15 record after being beaten by champion Northern Iowa in the semifinals of the Missouri Valley tournament on Saturday. It’s their lowest victory total since going 13-15 in 2004-05.
