Upset Alert

[CMJ]

I got to see this Cornell team in person when they played at Yale. Best shooting team I've seen in a long time.

I know Cornell was a trendy pick in this one, but I saw Temple a few times this year and thought they were very good. Cornell is blowing them our tight now...I'm stunned.

Who has two thumbs and picked Cornell in his bracket??

[CMJ]

Picking them is one thing. They're up 19 right now! They might beat Temple worse than the Wildcats beat us.

[CMJ]

Cornell wins 78-65. The 12 over 5 historical upset yearly upset again

[MeanGreenTexan]

This tournament has been great so far (sans our game)... I love these upsets.

Wofford is tied with Wisconsin in the 2nd half after trailing by double figures

If Siena would just try and go around JuJuan Johnson instead of over him they'd probably be beating Purdue

[CMJ]

Alot of credit to Purdue tho...I thought they'd fold without their best player.

[CMJ]

Costly late turnover....looks like Wofford is gonna fall just short.

This St. Mary's/Nova game has been alot of fun

You see the miracle bank shot?

[CMJ]

And Saint Mary's advances. Way to go Gaels!

[UNT90]

You see the miracle bank shot?

No. I'll have to catch the highlights.

Nova just couldnt get away with letting a lower seed hang with them two games in a row. Nice win for St Mary's

So did everyone on the ESPN staff.. Congrats

Nova just couldnt get away with letting a lower seed hang with them two games in a row. Nice win for St Mary's

And that's a $1.9 Million budget basketball program downing a $6 Million program. Nice win.

It just stuns me when I see these poorer budgeted programs getting it done, Cornell being the most amazing to me, considering they only spend a paltry $925,269 on their men's basketball team.

Northern Iowa scaring Kansas.....

BTW - of the 3 teams in the Sweet 16 so far, two are from the Non power leagues. Hooray for the little guy. Sure one can say that it's possible to build a power in a smaller league(which is true...see Gonzaga), but the last school to win a National title in one of the "smaller" leagues was UNLV in 1990.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Wow--I think that one was just the hugest. If your bracket wasn't blown before, it's blown now.

Gotta love the little guys.

And not a little guy, about we're about to have an 11 seed in the Sweet 16.

[FirefightnRick]

Wow--I think that one was just the hugest. If your bracket wasn't blown before, it's blown now.

And that would be a $1.5 Million program defeating an $8.2 Million program.

Interestingly, they didn't have a single non-D 1A program on their regular schedule and had non conference wins over Iowa State, Iowa, East Carolina, Siena, Boston College, Wyoming and Old Dominion.

Awesome!

And we had to draw Kansas St.... those bastards are gonna win it all now that KU's out of their way.

As an old fart with great memories of North Texas and the MVC, it was great to see a team from our old conference win. I recall watching Memphis State and UCLA in the title game in the TV room at West Hall. I bet every student has a TV these days!
