Also it really is interesting that you can count on the same teams to shit the bed often. Georgetown, Syracuse, Arizona, Purdue, Pittsburgh, UVA, Kansas, and Villanova until the last couple years almost never fail to screw it up.

Up till this year, UMBC couldn't even beat the University of Vermont, who blew a lead to lose to UMBC in the AE championship. UVM dominated the rivalry and the conference, so UMBC winning THAT game was a shocker. Stunning! Plus, UVA rejected me for the grad program Michigan accepted me to. SO YEAH, BANG ME!

To UMBC. Played great d and hit big shots. UVA was out of sync, couldn't hit a shot. Once they fell behind, the pressure got to them even more

Unbelievable. Wasn't sure I'd ever see it; the 1-over-16 streak was one of the most impressive in sports.

And this, right away, one of the great upsets in any sport any time. Buster Douglas, Miracle on Ice, and the Retrievers. Wow. Grateful to have been able to watch it.

I thought if this ever happened it would take either the 1 losing a major piece and playing their worst game or the year, or just a amazing game by a unknown.     This was both and really still in shock.     I don't even believe I watched that?       Just numb.

If you told me three hours ago the final score would be 74-54, I would have congratulated UMBC for keeping it so close. But this... this was just ridiculous!!! Love it!

did they score 53 in one half against the best defense in college basketball?? 

I'm just gonna have to wait for the full game to go up on Youtube.

But UMBC did not give them even a glimmer of hope there in the second half.  Made money shot after money shot, and damn can their guards dribble with speed and control.  Wow.
