Bradley puts butts in the seats and has a rich history, but only 3 top-100 KenPom finishes in the last 15 years (compare for instance Belmont and Murray State at 5 and Valpo at 6) and not a big market. I could be wrong on this, but I think Northern Iowa is the only basketball-only Midwest school other than Wichita St. to have double digit top-100 KenPom finishes in the last 15 years (11). Southern Illinois, Illinois State, and Missouri State have 7,8, and 9 respectively.
