NCAA March Madness Shockers

I know I've been on hiatus for a while, but had I written a post after Selection Sunday my advice on your bracket would be - flip a coin! Sure there have been years where the Final Four teams are only 1 and 2 seeds, but this year of college hoops has been ridic, to say the least. During the regular season the #1 ranked team fell to off-the-radar teams a handful of times, which is typically unheard of. With that being said and the outcomes of the first 1.5 rounds on the books, here are the upsets that prob F'ed your brackets hard.

ROUND OF 64
12 Cal (GO BEARS!!) over 5 UNLV - tied at halftime, the Bears kept the Rebels scoreless for 11min in the second half to eke out the upset. PAC-12 Player of the Year, Allen Crabbe, put up 19pts and 8 rebounds in the win but was unfortunately thwarted by Syrause in the next round. Syracuse's D was crazy on point and they stuffed Crabbe who was only 3/9 for the night. Womp.

12 Oregon over 5 Oklahoma State
12 Ole Miss over 5 Wisconsin
13 La Salle over 4 Kansas State
14 Harvard over 3 New Mexico
15 Florida Gulf Coast over 2 Georgetown

ROUND OF 32
12 Oregon over 4 St. Louis - Oregon is excelling at just the right moment. I think they were seeded too low to begin with, but they are now proving their worth and are headed to the Sweet 16. Yay PAC-12!!

9 Wichita State over 1 Gonzaga - It sucks to be the Zags right now as the first #1 seed out of the tourney, but Wichita shocked everyone by hitting 14 3-pointers in the game.

BTW, I am writing this post from Tamarindo, Costa Rica - this is the gringo bar I've been watching the games at ☺ Although I have been thoroughly enjoying all the beaches, my biggest irk is that I didn't find a place to do 13.3, a Crossfit Games Open workout, so now my online score will be incomplete. I know this gets me absolutely zero sympathy from anyone, but just needed to vent. Oh well. Pura Vida!
