And that name is Oakland. The 14 seed from Detroit won a wild game against the 3 seed from the powerful SEC, the Kentucky Wildcats.

The Grizzlies were led by Jack Gohlke, who scored 32 points. All 20 of Gohlke’s shots were from three point range, and the senior guard managed to drain 10 of them. But Gohlke just put Oakland in the position to win – he scored his last points from the FT line when he was fouled shooting a three pointer with about 4 minutes left to give the Grizzlies a 6 point lead.

Trey Townsend made a jumper to put the Grizzlies up by 5 but Kentucky came down the court and Antonio Reeves hit a three pointer to cut the lead to 2. The Grizzlies’ DQ Cole hit two free throws but the Wildcats’ Rob Dillingham hit a wild three pointer to cut the lead to 1 point with a minute to play.

With the entire stadium on its feet, Oakland takes the clock down to about 40 seconds and Rocket Watts drives into the lane and rifles the ball out to the corner and DQ Cole drills a well-contested three pointer to give the Grizzlies a 4 point lead. Kentucky would miss three 3-pointers trying to catch up but none of them would fall, and Cinderella started to celebrate on the court with a crazy 80-76 victory.

Oakland joins 11 seeds Duquesne and Oregon as double digit seeds who decided that they were going to stick around at the dance a little longer. The Grizzlies are hoping that they get to continue to wear their glass slippers a little longer as they await the winner of Texas Tech and North Carolina State.

Congratulations to the Grizzlies!!!
