The I-74 Rivalry (also known as The War on 74[2]) is an annual college basketball rivalry game between Illinois State University and Bradley University.[3] The men's rivalry started in 1905[4] and the women's rivalry began in 1984.[5] The name refers to the two university's 40 mile proximity[6] and their shared access to Interstate 74, which spans from Davenport Iowa, through central Illinois and central Indiana, and finishing in Cincinnati Ohio.[7]
