Same exact thing happened to me. My A10 bias is strong.

I bet on the wrong A-10 horses -- had Davidson and St. Bona winning and URI losing.

Ouch!

Yeah, well I had Arizona losing to Villanova in the Finals.....so yeah.

College of Charleston missed four of five free throws in the last 90 seconds, one on the open end of a 1&1. Also, horrible non-call on a C of C 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds to go and down three. C of C loses by four.

Great tourney so far. The lower seeds and non-power five are playing very competitive ball. Worth my investment in a new TV already!

I almost took Charleston for that upset, but didn't think they had the horses. Almost proved me wrong.

Destroy a number 1! Holy cow! What happened to UVA? Arizona and UVA already out of that side of the bracket. Either Kentucky has the easiest path to the Final Four, or they're next.

Tonight both UVA and vcu fans are sad. It's a good night.

UMBC (#188)--20 pt underdog by Kenpom, wins by 20 over #1

THAT WAS CRAZY. UVA blown out.

Only thing I’ll say (I’m not from VA) is that I wish it was a different blue chip to go down like Kentucky or something. I do t view UVA as a traditional powerhouse like the other schools. It was That long ago that we beat them on the road.

UMBC lost to Albany by 44 in late January. Let that sink in and then think about what they just did to UVA
UVA, first Chaminade and now this

Expansion is partly the cause of this
Prior to the play-in games, LIU Brooklyn, Redford, NC Central and Texas Southern are your four 16 seeds. UMBC would be on the 15 line.
Regardless, it’s amazing

So many comparisons to Bennetts style here since Paulsen arrived. Maybe Bennett tweaks that style now?

Doubt it. It was good enough to win him the ACC and the ACC tournament. Plus, I don't think VA can win playing Duke and North Carolina's game. They certainly can't out-recruit half the teams in their conference.

UMBC definitely provided a blueprint for how to beat the scheme though. Maybe what results is Tony Bennett thinks twice next opportunity about jumping ship to a more traditional basketball school, where he can recruit at a higher level.
