Great night for all UMBC fans/alums. What a feeling it must be.

 

[stateofmind]

So this was the 1st overall #1 seed losing to what must've been the worst 16? And lost by 20? There is no denying that this is the worst loss in tourney history. I feels for ya roos.

I'm feeling pretty good about my Arizona pick over Virginia in my bracket! The path is clear for the Wildcats!

Or is this fantasy?

Princeton almost had Georgetown with Mourning and Mutumbo, but couldn't finish.
Albany had UConn beat before refs intervened.

But now it finally happened. This is awesome.
Welcome to our new legend, the UMBC Retrievers.

Another close call was Western Carolina vs. Purdue.

Gotta give Tony Bennett credit for giving that short interview they just featured. That couldn't have been easy.

 

[ISUCY23]

I can’t believe I just watched a 16 seed knock off a 1 seed. Mind blowing.

 

[NWICY]

Finally Brodiansky is starting to shoot.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Oh for ****'s sake. Who the hell cares if Bennett is a good guy. He'll be a number one seed next year. And his team beat our team 2 years ago. You'll forgive me if I don't have an iota of sympathy for him.

This. Their team and that officiating crew ended Niang's career at ISU. Karma.

 

[Cy$]

Bet he's happy to not be a part of that.

IIRC Holy Cross had UK sweating bullets as well.

I can't believe I watched team #68 beat team #1 by 20 points

Just turned the TV on. Anything interesting happen in the tournament today?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Bruce Weber gets to walk into a sweet 16 now. Lulz.

If UMBC can do this to Virginia they can surely do this to the fighting Bruce Weber's.

As long as you don't watch any of the NCAA tournament, tournament coverage, Sportscenter, any kind of news sites/papers/outlets and don't talk to anybody for...quite a while, you'll be in good shape.

Nope. Straight chalk.

 

[CycloneErik]

Most of today's games weren't a ton of fun. This made up for all of that.

 

[stormchaser2014]

**** you Cuse.

The handshake line was amazing, the tall, thick guys got beat by the little skinny guys.
Till now that hadn't happened.
