'Anything to Win': Bradley Basketball Beats Southern Illinois with Clutch 3s and Defense

Jaquan Johnson scored 24 points with seven rebounds and three steals as Bradley held Southern Illinois to 37% shooting and 0-of-15 from three-point range, securing a 70-60 win.

  • On Sunday, Bradley defeated Southern Illinois 70-60 at Banterra Center in Carbondale, Illinois.
  • After a recent lineup change, Bradley shifted to a bigger defensive group, leading to a 10-0 run and defensive stops, as coach Scott Nagy said.
  • Defensively and offensively, the box score revealed Southern Illinois went 0-for-15 on 3-pointers, while Bradley made three, with Alex Huibregtse hitting 4-of-8 for 14 points and Jaquan Johnson scoring 24.
  • The result leaves Bradley with an 18-9 overall record and 11-5 in the MVC, and Wardle's milestone came as a predictive model favored a No. 4 seed.
  • Southern Illinois' unusual gesture was that coach Scott Nagy coached shoeless, and both teams now prepare for Wednesday's game.
