Couldn't get to the first game of the new season in time, but this is No. 2 with a tip of 11 a.m. ET from South Carolina. Our model has Bradley by 7 and ESPN BPI by 3.1. KenPom ranks the Braves 16 spots better nationally and Haslem 34 spots better. Bradley is off a 28–9 campaign with a 15–5 mark in the MVC and returns four players who appeared in at least 18 games last season: Jaquan Johnson, Corey Thomas, Demarion Burch, and Timoty van der Knaap. The Braves also welcome two veteran transfers in AJ Smith and Alex Huibregtse. The Bonnies, meanwhile, have 11 new guys and were only picked eighth in the A-10 this year.
