About Bradley Basketball

Bradley basketball is a historically significant mid-major program competing in NCAA Division I as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). The Braves’ tradition is highlighted by NIT championships in 1957 and 1960, along with two NCAA Tournament national runner-up finishes (1950 and 1954). Across the decades, the program has featured standout names such as Chet Walker, Hersey Hawkins, Bobby Joe Mason, and Roger Phegley, along with legacy coaches like Forddy Anderson and Chuck Orsborn who helped shape Bradley’s most successful tournament eras.

The Braves play their home games at Carver Arena, part of the Peoria Civic Center complex in downtown Peoria, Illinois. Opened in 1982, Carver Arena seats approximately 10,800 for basketball and is known for a loud, intimate atmosphere—especially when conference matchups bring extra intensity and the crowd fills in with a wall of red and white.

In MVC play, a few rivalries consistently drive ticket demand. The Illinois State Redbirds matchup is Bradley’s most intense rivalry, bringing a central Illinois edge to every meeting. Long-standing conference battles with the Southern Illinois Salukis and regular contention with the Drake Bulldogs also raise the stakes. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing Bradley Braves tickets early is the smartest move.
