Bradley clinched a spot in the top six of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament Wednesday with a 75-73 victory over Wichita State on Senior Night at Carver Arena.
The Braves (15-13, 9-8) jumped to a 25-6 lead in the first 10 minutes, but the Shockers slowly battled back, finally taking a 66-65 lead on Clevin Hannah’s reverse layup at 5:31.
The winning points came at the free-throw line for BU. Wichita State’s inbounds pass at :14.1 with the score tied at 73 was overthrown. Sam Maniscalco, who led Bradley with 19 points, scooped up the loose ball and was fouled, sinking both free throws.
