PEORIA, Ill. – The Jacksonville State men's basketball team wraps up its three-game road trip at Peoria's Carver Arena Wednesday night with a 7 p.m. matchup at Bradley University.
 
The matchup between the Gamecocks and Braves is set to broadcast on ESPN+, and is the second game of the Cancun Challenge's U.S. Regional bracket. JSU is looking to pick up its first win of the Cancun Challenge after dropping a tough 76-61 loss Monday at Penn State in the first game of the tournament.
 
Jacksonville State (0-2) saw improvement from its first game of the season to its second with its Monday matchup at Bryce Jordan Center. The Gamecocks out-rebounded the Nittany Lions 37-35 and kept the home team's second-half advantage to just four points until the 10-minute mark.
 
Senior Jason Burnell is coming off one of the best games of his career, scoring 14 points and pulling down 12 rebounds at Penn State. The 6-foot-7 forward's double-double was the third of his career and JSU's first of the season.
 
Bradley (2-0) comes into the game having won back-to-back home dates against UW-Parkside and Southeast Missouri. The Braves routed the Rangers 74-58 last Wednesday and topped the OVC's Redhawks 68-57 Saturday at Carver Arena.
 
Braves senior Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye has led the way for the Bradley through two games, averaging 17.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals. In addition, the BU defense is allowing opponents just a .369 field goal percentage and .235 3-point field goal percentage.
 
Wednesday serves as just the second meeting between the two programs. The only matchup prior came Nov. 8, 2013 at Bradley to open the 2013-14 season. Jacksonville State dropped the opener 72-65. Men's Basketball - Game 3
