Well, there is always a moment in the tournament where you watch the tournament go into insanity.\u00a0\u00a0 It is amazing to say, but Norfolk State was just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n
In honor of having the 5th ever 15 seed win a tournament game, Cinderella bonded together to sweep the 7 pm games.\u00a0 First, there were the smaller upsets.\u00a0 9 seed Saint Louis take out Memphis and my beloved Boilermakers hold on after getting up by double digits to sneak away with a 3 point victory over St. Mary’s.<\/p>\n
But those were small upsets in comparison.\u00a0\u00a0 MAC Champion Ohio played a great game to take out 4 seed Michigan.\u00a0 And then, not to be outdone, Patriot Champion Lehigh became the 6th ever 16 seed to win a tournament game, as they took out number 2 Duke.<\/p>\n
I know if I was Michigan State, Kansas, Temple, or Notre Dame in the nightcap, I would try as hard as I could to get up early and remove any doubt.\u00a0 Because the momentum has started, and if they are not careful, they will become another statistic in this crazy evening.<\/p>\n
I might have been wrong about it being unlikely that all 8 favorites win on Thursday afternoon.\u00a0 But I am very sure, that it was extremely unlikely to have two 15 seeds, a 13 seed, a 10 seed and 9 seed win in 5 consecutive games.\u00a0 But that is what we love about March!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
