Aside from tournament experience, Bradley gives up points as much as they score. They allow the 160th most points per game to opposing teams (64.8), including allowing 32.6% from three-point range on 195 season attempts. In fact, five of their losses came by more than a two-possession margin.

Another reason for their defensive deficiencies come from the inability to cause turnovers. Texas is No. 26 in the nation causing 19.5 turnovers a game, while Bradley is No. 283, causing only 13.4 per game.

If Texas can consistently force Bradley to have to play defense, the Braves might not have enough to keep up with the Horns.
