Projection: likely out

Bradley's season can be seen as a classic mid-major conundrum with some bright spots and a few too many blemishes to sit comfortably on the bubble. Victories over Utah State and a sweep of Drake highlight their capacity to step up against tough competition, showcasing their defensive prowess which seems to be the backbone of their success. However, losses to the likes of Cleveland State and Evansville are alarming, raising questions about their consistency, especially when games are away from their home court. Also, the inability to notch more wins against the higher-ranked Indiana State signals some struggles against top-tier opponents, which is a crucial measuring stick for tournament selection. With a resume flaunting both commendable wins and puzzling losses, room for improvement largely hinges on performance in high-stakes conference play where they have the opportunity to solidify their standing or potentially deflate their bubble.
