MURRAY, Ky. (AP) Duke Deen's 18 points helped Bradley defeat Murray State 74-61 on Saturday night.

Deen added five assists for the Braves (16-3, 7-1 Missouri Valley Conference). Corey Thomas scored 16 points while going 5 of 6 from the floor, including 2 for 3 from 3-point range, and 4 for 4 from the line and added six rebounds. Darius Hannah shot 6 of 9 from the field and 4 for 4 from the line to finish with 16 points.

AJ Ferguson led the way for the Racers (10-9, 4-4) with 12 points and five assists. Jacobi Wood added 11 points and two steals for Murray State. Kylen Milton also had 11 points.

Bradley took the lead with 1:37 remaining in the first half and did not relinquish it. Deen led their team in scoring with 13 points in the first half to help put them up 41-35 at the break. Bradley extended its lead to 74-59 during the second half, fueled by a 9-1 scoring run. Hannah scored a team-high 12 points in the second half as his team closed out the win.
