During that time, the Eagles played in three NCAA Tournaments and won three Big South Conference championships. As a junior and senior, he was named to the Big South Conference All-Tournament Team, while also earning Tournament MVP and first-team All-Big South as a senior.

After going undrafted in the 2007 NBA draft, Bradshaw joined the Atlanta Hawks for the NBA Summer League tournament in Salt Lake City. In five games for the Hawks, he averaged 4.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game.
