Biggest upset in NCAA Tourney History?

And they won it convincingly, never trailed! So now Syracuse gets a 15 seed to get to the Sweet 16. Don't know if MTSU can do it again and against the zone. Boeheim may be living a charmed life after all!

FP, we had two games in Pittsburgh then Kent State took out the 2 seed in our region. Indiana knocked off Duke, the 1 seed in our region. We (the 3 seed) didn't take advantage of our luck.
 
By point spread the biggest upset was #15 Norfolk State over #2 Missouri in 2012. Missouri was a 21.5 point favorite. Coppin State was an 18.5 point underdog when they beat South Carolina in Pittsburgh in 97. Hampton was a 17.5 point underdog against Iowa State in 01. Michigan State was a 16.5 point favorite today, so by the point spread it comes in fourth.

However by the name of the losing team it might very well be the most unexpected.

Yeah but this was a Tom Izzo coached team. A lot of those previous 2's were from notorious or newby underachievers.
 
Upsets aren't good!
P5 teams should be rated properly.
But what this tells you is not all good players want to put up with the "crap" they would have to deal with in a P5 program.
PITT recruiting take note and take advantage!
 
I'm just saying because you just said " if you had been around here at that time"


Well that is not how I meant it, so please don't take it that way. I just meant that was a huge upset that happened right here in Pittsburgh, so if you were a college basketball fan and you were in Pittsburgh at the time that was a huge story for a couple of days. People would, I assume, remember that. If you weren't around or were too young to remember then or whatever that's no slight, I was just saying that it was a huge deal when it happened, especially in Pittsburgh.
 
They just announced on espn that 22% of the brackets had Michigan State winning the National Title. I dont know how many brackets that is in total, but over 600,000 participated last year per the matrix.
 
And they won it convincingly, never trailed! So now Syracuse gets a 15 seed to get to the Sweet 16. Don't know if MTSU can do it again and against the zone. Boeheim may be living a charmed life after all!


Verses what kind of life do you speak of. A life time of a contract. I seriously hope we lose by 30 to speed up the end of this never ending Journey called a lifetime contract.
