Watch your back, Win The Day
When you think about the NCAA basketball tournament, you think of the Cinderellas, the incredible stories of small teams we haven’t heard of taking down the perennial power houses. We fall in love with the teams that no one gives a chance to win. Some years, these teams go on to make a deep run in the tournament, these are the teams and tournaments we will never forget. From George Mason making it to the final four, to Butler’s back-to-back final four appearances. The upsets make the tournament and every basketball fan anxiously awaiting to see which team will slay Goliath this year.
In the 2012 March Madness basketball tournament, there were two historical upsets within three hours of each other. Number 15 Norfolk State took down number 2 Missouri and also number 15 Lehigh defeated number 2 Duke. This feat happened just four times since the expansion in 1965, the fact that two happened in the same day is mind blowing. However, there have been several big upsets this year, including a run by 2 different teams.
Number 13 Ohio and number 11 North Carolina State are both on to the sweet sixteen. Ohio took out Michigan and then beat South Florida, both solid basketball teams. North Carolina State convincingly beat San Diego State, and then snuck by Georgetown by three points in a last minute thriller. Both teams have a tough match up in their next game. Ohio plays UNC and North Carolina State is matched up against Kansas, if they win, they will have a big time match-up against each other to get to the final four. Some other notable upsets are Colorado over University of Nevada at Las Vegas and Virginia Commonwealth University over Wichita State. No matter what the difference of the seeds is, the world of college basketball watches each game, just waiting to be amazed.
