Yes, stunning upset!! The NCAA Tourney is the most exciting sporting event going but it is a "one and done" format with too many teams. That said, it is flawed and open to crowning a "National Champion" that is not the BEST TEAM in the country. UK or UC will make the F4. And if they should win it all, would anyone, other than their fan base, recognize either as the best team nationally? Of course not, they would simply be winners of a tournament.

This isn’t gonna sound fair, but the answer is travel. One of the 16 v 16 games has to be on Wednesday, and I think they just wanted to put the winner of that game into the closest Friday spot that was available. In looking how they’ve done it in the past they’ve never seemed to favor the overall #1.

As cool as it was to see- All I could think about was how it makes UC run that much easier. They have to be feeling great today.

UMBC's inclusion in the South was just a coincidence. They always start from the top on down on rhe seed list - hence the South Region for Virginia. If you were to seed the 16s solely by geography, they would have sent UMBC to Pittsburgh and Penn to Charlotte (and then sent Radford to Wichita and Texas Southern to Nashville). Instead, they sent Radford on a short trip to Pittsburgh for a Thursday opener and Texas Southern did go to Nashville for the Friday opener.

University Maryland Baltimore County. Is that correct. Kudos to them and more kudos. They have now won 25 games this year. They just SLAMMED the #1 team in the country by 20 Pts. I-ve been ill & barely struggled thru XU game before quickly heading to bed. There was nothing left to watch anyhow.
UMBC deserves their 2 days of fame before getting beat Sunday. They already deserve a spot in College Basketball Hall of Fame. How about UK getting an easy ride right now
