All the info is in the first post. UVA is #1 ! (on the upset list)

And some of the 'experts' predict UVA to lose in the first round

I’m sure everyone had Fairleigh-Dickinson over Purdue, right?

Did anyone? I've never heard of FDU.
The fallacy is to fall for the seedings. That's the craziness of the tournament.

I'm here for the upsets, except when it's my team. Actually, my team won! Go Hoosiers!

Apparently nobody did. In the CBS Bracket Challenge (or whatever it’s called), there are no perfect brackets remaining.

I had heard of FDU but I‘m not sure why. My wife asked me where it was and I had no idea. Teaneck, NJ.

Not the way my Boilers wanted to go into the history books ...
But I heard a stat that in the past when a #1 seed lost to a #16...the #1 came back the next year to win the Championship...didn't look it up, but keeping my fingers crossed for Purdue :)
