March 19, 2017. Belmont fell in the second round of the NIT at Georgia Tech, which followed an upset win over Georgia. Four seasons and 95 games as a Bruin under the legendary Hall Of Famer, Rick Byrd, and suddenly Evan Bradds' playing career as a Bruin ended.
The family name Bradds is of English origin, believed by some to be a variant of the name Braddock, which denotes someone associated directly with a place.
