I still think ISU beating OU at OU in football is a bigger upset.

Historically, no way. Although by odds maybe...not sure what the line was for this and how that compares to a football line.

But nobody will remember ISU beating OU outside of ISU fans.

Everybody will talk about this for a long time.

Where’s a good Cavalier message board?

they were talking a lot of **** before the sweet 16 game a couple years ago, I want to troll them but I'll just watch and laugh.

It seems stupid to compare sports.

But this wasn't a number 16 seed winning by 1. It was a number 16 seed winning by 20 over the number one team in the country. This has never even come close to happen.

I loved Raftery's comment about Lyles. It was something like "Lyles is hurt...except when he has the ball."

The baller phenomenon. Anyone that is decent has experienced it along with “the zone”.

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

You don't think this UMBC team can't run KSU out too?

They were impressive.

And what would make it even funnier is if they follow it up with a win over Bruce Webber and Kansas State

Is this real life?

Uva is in elite company

Pretty loose with the term "high major"

Thank god. My team can now officially never be the first #1 seed to lose to a #16. And by 20 freaking points.

Good news for Virginia is that now they don't have to worry about a big name program trying to poach Tony Bennett from them...

bad news is Kansas St. plays UMBC next...It'll be tough for UMBC to refocus for that one.

#1 seed loses by 20, nobody thought that was going to happen.

Freakin TCU needs to score some points.

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.

Mizzou getting blown out at half. Martin can recruit but sadly for Tiger fans, he also has to coach the games.

I've taken craps that have lasted longer than my bracket.

The good news is that this game is on Friday night. No Rome show, no Cowherd, no “media tour” to deal with before the next game.

It didn't look like UMBC did anything crazy focused. They were just faster and better, and a marginal team like KSU isn't going to scare them.

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

My bracket is now literally officially dead. Had Virginia winning it all.

 

[heitclone]

So that is what used to be called Maryland-Eastern Shore or another school all together?

two different schools

Is this real life?

Or is this fantasy?

Please make this the Sweetest Sixteen.
