OPENING TIPS
• As Bradley prepares for its 112th men's basketball season, the new-look Braves will face outside competition for the first time when they host NCAA Division III Edgewood College in an exhibition game Wednesday night at Carver Arena.
• Tuesday's exhibition game will be first-year Bradley head coach Brian Wardle's first game at Carver Arena and could provide the competitive debut for as many as 10 Braves freshmen.
• Wednesday's game will be Bradley's 80th all-time exhibition game and the Braves enter the game with a 63-16 (.797) all-time record in exhibition action.
• Bradley is 25-3 (.893) all-time in exhibition games against other collegiate programs, but the Braves dropped their lone preseason game a year ago to NCAA Division III Augustana, 58-56.
• Saturday's exhibition game is included in Bradley Basketball's 2015-16 season-ticket package and it also is included in a trio of smaller multiple-game ticket packages: it is the first game in the Opening Act Pack, featuring each of the first three games; it may be selected as the optional game in the Marquee 3 Package with Wichita State (Jan. 3) and Illinois State (Jan. 20); and it may be selected as part of the Pick 5 Plan, which is open to any five of the 17 games on Bradley's 17-game home schedule.
