Jaden Daughtry led the team with 25 points off the bench. The Sycamores have a strong offense, ranking 30th in the country for scoring, averaging 84.3 points per game, but struggle defensively, allowing an average of 76.8 points per game. Samaje Teel leads the team with 17.6 points per game. Overall, Indiana State is shooting 50% from the field, 36.6% from three-point range, and 74.8% from the free-throw line.

MVC Powerhouses Set to Clash in Matchup Between Indiana State and Bradley

The teams discussed were dominant in the MVC last season and are expected to maintain their strong performance this season. Under the leadership of Matthew Graves, the program has been successfully rebuilt following the departure of all five starters and head coach Josh Schertz after last season's NIT title game. However, the Sycamores have faced challenges on the defensive end, which could pose difficulties against a high-scoring Bradley team. Bradley's superior defensive capabilities compared to Indiana State, coupled with similar offensive statistics, suggest that the Braves may have a competitive edge in the upcoming matchup.
