Opposites attracted a lot of attention
Although Tuesday at Carver Arena will mark the 110th Bradley-Illinois State men’s basketball game spread over 105 years, the rivalry didn’t begin to become the spectacle it is today until just a generation ago.
The series was reborn in the ’70s and really began to heat up in a matchup at Normal in 1979, when rookie head coaches named Bob Donewald and Dick Versace met on the court for the first time.
