Projection: likely out
Bradley’s résumé has clear highs that committees notice — home victories over Belmont and Northern Iowa, an eye-opening road win at Indiana State, and neutral-site triumphs over the likes of Princeton and Liberty — but those are offset by damaging road defeats at San Francisco and Murray State and a lopsided loss at Illinois State along with ugly split results against Illinois Chicago. The Braves have not shown consistent success away from their own gym and a neutral-site loss to Northern Iowa in the conference event removed the clearest path to a résumé-changing win, so the roster of respectable but not signature wins paired with multiple bad losses leaves the selection outlook on the wrong side.
