The No. 2 seed Bradley (27-7) looks to end Drake's (29-3) reign atop the Missouri Valley Conference when the two sides clash in Sunday’s MVC Tournament final at the Enterprise Center.
The Braves had to weather a tense semifinal battle against Valparaiso but emerged victorious, securing their fifth consecutive win and a place in the title game for the second time in three seasons. After falling short against Drake in last year’s championship, Bradley now has the chance to turn the tables and punch its ticket to the NCAA Tournament.
The Bulldogs, however, are no strangers to this stage. After dropping a game to Bradley in February, Drake rebounded with six straight wins and now finds itself in the MVC final for the fifth year in a row. A win would make them just the second team in conference history to claim three straight tournament crowns.
