If you are a fan of the Kansas Jayhawks or Pittsburgh Panthers, you probably remember the 2006 Bradley Braves. The Braves were the No. 13 seed in the Oakland Region of the NCAA tournament. In the field of 64, they knocked off Bill Self's fourth-seeded Jayhawks in the Palace of Auburn Hills. Two days later, they advanced past Jamie Dixon's fifth-seeded Panthers in the same building. The Braves' road ended in the 2006 Big Dance against John Calipari's top-seeded Memphis Tigers in the Sweet 16.
More than 10 years later, many of the same players on Bradley's 2006 Sweet 16 squad are suiting up together again in The Basketball Tournament.
