and NO school wants to be the first one seed to go down. you can never undo that.

I don't think Virginia will score 16 more points. UMBC should just run out the shot clock every possession.
I must have successfully repressed that from my memory. It must have been extremely traumatic.
There is now no chance that Nebraska will be the first #1 seed to lose to a 16. At least one hoops indignity belongs somewhere else.
UMBC now has more NCAA tournament wins than Nebraska.
Virginia also has the Chaminade loss hanging over them.
As historic as that was, this is way worse. Not just a #1 seed, the overall #1 seed.
And UMBC no longer has to say that the biggest win in program history is over Nebraska. That has to be a load off their mind.
They no longer are in the same company as Incarnate Word.
Husker fans would want him fired because of his voice even if he won the final four!
I agree but to be the first team to lose as a one seed AND have a loss to a NAIA team as the #1 team in the country...ouch
Cant wait for this nerdy guy:
Says at office "I picked UMBC! Called it!"
Also picked every other 16 seed. Doesnt share.

I wanted the Jays to win, but they were butt-ugly awful today. Seemed fortunate to only lose by 10.

We're up 17 with 3:29 to go thanks to a Lamar three, BUT the media dining is out of cookies and this is the worst day ever

This has been a really good tournament..right amount of upsets and the big dogs getting to omaha...no one outside of Tennessee wanted them to win..Virginia is a very boring 1 seed...Historically bounced
umbc over virginia alone makes the tournament worth it. everything else is just bonus, especially seeing arizona flame out in spectacular fashion.
Since Loyola is coached by a former Bluejay, I'm certain Bruce Rasmussen has fixed the Ramblers' run to the Sweet 16. Not sure how he did it, but I'll bet several people here are hot on the trail.
I don't claim to be a Gonzaga fan, but it's always a good night when tBlowhard State University loses.
Looks like if Michigan St can hang on it’s going to be a great sweet 16 here in Omaha...
Doesn’t matter who wins between Clemson and Auburn.

So one of the last at large teams in the dance (and a team a few on here said shouldn’t get in) just knocked off the regular season #1 BIG team, in their home state.
Anyone still want to debate the quality of the level of basketball in the mighty Big 10 this year?

I was at that game too. I just remember being pissed off and then at some point the anger turned to laughter because it was so bad.
Syracuse put the clamps down on MSU the last 7 minutes or so and then tried repeatedly to give the game away. Bridges picked a bad time to have arguably the worst game of his career. And still they were in it. It's absurd to think a team can shoot 26%, shoot 15 free throws fewer than the opponent and still only lose by 2.
I legitimately have no clue whether Syracuse is actually good or not or if they advanced solely because the Spartans played their worst game of the season. I'd like to say we'll know next week how good they are but that game against Duke is a coinflip because of the slow pace.
