The Northern Iowa men take a 6-4 Missouri Valley Conference record on the road to Bradley Wednesday night. The Braves had a nine-game win streak snapped last Saturday with an overtime loss at Valley leader Indiana State and Panther coach Ben Jacobson says the return from injury of leading scorer Connor Hickman has been a factor.

Jacobson says Bradley’s size makes them tough defensively at the rim.

Bradley is 7-3 in the Valley.
