MVC's Bradley Stuns Kansas and Valley Naysayers

The Bradley Braves took out the Kansas Jayhawks tonight. The Braves played a masterful game, hitting the big shots, playing excellent, hard-nosed defense, and keeping cool during the Jayhawks' late run. Coach Jim Les has this team peaking at the right time and had his team prepared and confident.

For the second year in a row, Coach Bill Self finds himself going home without a win. But he has a very talented young team and you can expect them to be back next year to make some noise.

2-2 for the Valley in the first round. Unfortunately, my Salukis had the weakest showing. Northern Iowa looked good against Georgetown but just couldn't pull it out. Bradley and Wichita will carry the Valley banner well this weekend.
