99.9% of all brackets in the world are busted Nah, they're all busted. Only 25 left in the world before UMBC shocked the world...and in style. Only 2.18% picked UMBC, and none of them were in those 25. |

More like Chaminade'd. Don't think Lamar got hammered by over 40 in the regular season by a conference foe.

Gee, when was the last time a #1 seed went down in their very first game? I do not think I want to hear the answer to that.
K-Stated?

Having been in “recovery” for 37 years, it felt kinda good
to laugh at the look on the UVA fans faces during the last
10 minutes of he game. Definitely a stunning upset. And as
horrible as KState was for us, at the time we didn’t know that
Rolando Blackman was going to be an NBA all star for most
of his lengthy pro career. This, for UVA, will undoubtedly be
worse.

I think it was far different when we were there in 1980-81. We never have been seeded high since that time. We have not been a final 4 quality team since that time.
I do not see how we can compare to these upsets. We cannot even get to the big dance. I see nothing in the future that get's us there.
I wish it were not the case. Some may not remember when we were very good.

Since the 64 team bracket #1s were 135-0... now 135-1... trying being those kids! Yikes... the rest of their lives they are the team that won 20 ACC games, #1 in the country most of the year, #1 seed, 1st #1 to ever lose to a #16 seed... I felt for the post game Virginia players' interviews. The one kid handled the dumbass question, "... were you aware that a #1 had never lost to a #16..." way better than I would have, "... ya we were all aware, everyone is aware... thanks for bringing that up again..." Not how I would have replied!!   |

Got to be so tough for those players and fans. One thing that was really impressive was Tony Bennett after the game. Total props to UMBU, no excuses, no throwing anyone under the bus. Total class.
I’ve felt for a while that Bennett is one of the most underrated highly rated coaches in America. He is a great coach - though the style is not always dynamic offensively, his defenses are generally stifling. I have always been impressed by his character as well. He runs circles around many of the big names in that department, who whine and accuse and bully their way around, and look the other way.....cough, cough, while subtle and not so subtle rule-bending happens.
