I’m not sure you can call it an upset when a Tom Izzo team wins in March, but 7 seed Mich St-69, 2 seed Marquette-60.

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

Yes
Happened to Virginia. Then the next year they won the whole thing. Don't remember the year I'm thinking maybe 2018.

Agree - I wouldn't consider that an upset.

And the second! 15 seed Princeton over 2 seed Arizona!

Not the first time Arizona has lost to a 15 seed.

This year men and women NCAA Brackets are in a mess. IMHO, this is great for college basketball.
Maybe,the mid college basketball teams will finally earn some respect from the NCAA major college basketball powerhouse teams.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel picked a fight with Gonzaga by saying it's an imaginary school, like Hogwarts. He produced this video, although he also picked Gonzaga in his bracket.

My men's and women's bracket (at least the quadrant my alma mater plays) is doing just fine.

Creighton is Arizona's fourth and final team in
March Madness

Creighton's Phoenix expansion means it's Arizona's last team standing in March Madness

Creighton has about 800 students at its health sciences campus in Phoenix.

SDSU takes down Bama and Miami up late on Houston. No more #1 seeds after tonight.

SDSU takes down Bama and Miami up late on Houston. No more #1 seeds after tonight.

Final score 71 to 64 SDSU win.
Houston are losing in double figures to Miami with less than 7 minutes to play.

The NCAA Men Basketball Bracelets are in a shambles right now.IMHO

 

[Rolltydr]

Bama was in a shambles tonight. Turnovers and bad sots. Quinerly must have gotten 10 shots blocked trying to drive into the lane for a kayup. At some point, you gotta learn that ain’t gonna work!

Oh well. Great year, great team. Lousy way to end it.

 

[pedro47]

Miami just beat Houston 89 to 75.

The agony of defeat is so hard for any losing NCAA Basketball Team in March Badness

 

[ScoopKona]

I couldn't have scripted a better scenario for my school. So, I'm happy -- for now. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

 

[pedro47]

For the First time in NCAA Basketball History every #1 men's seed have loss in the March Madness Tournament.

 

[ScoopKona]

For the First time in NCAA Basketball History every #1 men's seed have loss in the March Madness Tournament.

Technically, first time no #1 reached the round of eight. Every tournament not won by a #1 seed is a tournament where every #1 seed eventually lost -- which is a great many of them.

 

[mjm1]

I am glad to see SDSU doing so well this year. First time a Mountain West team has made it to the Elite 8. They have a deep roster and a very good defense. Next up is Creighton.

Best regards.

Ten years ago, fgcu men went to the sweet 16. Upset, upset, upset. Very exciting here in fort Myers area. We happened to go to five games that season. Women have good teams every year. The mens coach left the school, and they were never as good.
