Bradley (20-10) received an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament Sunday and the 13th-seeded Braves will face No. 4 seed Kansas (25-7) Friday night (approximately 8:30 CST) in Auburn Hills, Mich.  Bradley is making its eighth appearance in the NCAA Tournament and its first since 1996.  The only time Bradley has ever faced Kansas was in its first NCAA Tournament game.  Playing in the 1950 NCAA District V Playoff, Bradley downed the Jayhawks, 59-57, in Kansas City, Mo.  That game was two days after Bradley played in the 1950 NIT championship game and propelled the Braves to a NCAA Tournament run that ended in the national championship game.
