The Bradley Braves and the Utah State Aggies meet in college basketball action from the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on Friday night.
The Bradley Braves will look to build on their 93-59 win over Wisconsin-Parkside in their last game. Jashon Henry led the Braves with 19 points on a perfect 7 of 7 from the field while Darius Hannah added 16 points on 6 of 11 shooting with a team-high 7 rebounds and 3 steals. Connor Hickman added 14 points on 4 of 7 shooting with 3 threes and 3 assists with a pair of steals while Ville Tahvanainen had 11 points with 3 threes to cap off the scoring in double figures in the win for Bradley.

Bradley is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Friday games while the under is 7-1 in their last 8 games overall. Utah State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record.
I get the case to be made either way here, but I’m leaning towards Utah State. They’re at home and looked really impressive against the far better opposition in their opener. I also am not the biggest fan of this Bradley team as I don’t like the direction they’re headed and I thought they could’ve hit the transfer portal to get a piece or two to really contend in the conference this season. IT’s a while out, but these games matter too. Either way, Utah State is the better team in my opinion so I’ll lay the points with Utah State here.
