Something about Oakland University brings out historic events for the Bradley basketball program.
Any Bradley fan remembers 2006 - the Sweet 16 season. Well, even though the games were played at the Palace at Auburn Hills (Detroit Pistons arena), the host school for the first two games was none other than Oakland University. That looked like the last time there would be any connection between the two schools.
But, as a result of Bradley playing the inaugural CollegeInsider.com tournament, the schools came together again, this time with both playing on the court. The Braves looked to be saddled with a disappointing home loss after Oakland's Johnathon Jones made a shot with 0.9 seconds left.
Then junior guard Chris Roberts threw the ball the length of the court and made one of the most improbable buzzer beaters in Bradley history.
