Bradley “creates his shots off the dribble and off the jab and uses pump fakes,” said Creighton guard Alex O’Connell. “It’s going to be a team effort in trying to hold him and limit his points.”“He can really score that ball,” Dutcher said. “He’s good in the low post, he pivots, he gets around the defense.
