Five Things to Know
- Hulman Center of Horrors
It's not hard to figure out which venue in The Valley that Bradley hates the most. The Braves enter Sunday's game having not won in Terre Haute since 1997, dropping 21 straight contests at the Hulman Center. While the Braves have a 7-29 record in Terre Haute, the first nine games in that series were played at ISU Arena, giving Bradley a 3-24 mark all-time at the Hulman Center. The last time Indiana State dropped a home game to the Braves was a 70-53 decision on Jan. 26, 1997.
- Weekend Sweep
A win Sunday would mark a weekend sweep for the Sycamores and the fourth consecutive home conference win for Indiana State, dating back to last season.
- Turnovers the Norm
Indiana State opponents must be maddened when facing the Sycamores as ISU opponents turnover the ball on 25.2 percent of their possessions. That turnover rate for opponents ranks 11th in the nation while the average of 21.43 turnovers per game Sycamore opponents are averaging ranks 23rd nationally. Both marks lead The Valley.
- Homecourt Advantage
As Indiana State enters conference play at home this weekend, the Sycamores are looking to record a winning home conference record this year for the 17th time in the last 20 seasons. Since the Missouri Valley Conference adopted women's athletics with the 1992-93 season, Indiana State has recorded a winning league record at home in 20 of the 26 seasons in Valley play.
- Strong Defense
Indiana State held Illinois State to just 44 points in Friday's win over the Redbirds. That marked the first time the Sycamores had held a conference opponent to under 45 points in a game since Feb. 12, 2017 in a 53-32 win over Loyola Chicago.
