Madness Ensues…
You witnessed history! In one of the greatest underdogs stories ever, the University of Maryland-Baltimore County (“Retrievers”) pulled off the greatest upset ever.
Before tonight No. 1 teams in the NCAA Tournament were a combined 135-0, but make that 135-1.
Chances are you had Virginia in the Final Four.
3.4% of brackets in ESPN’s Tournament Challenge had UMBC winning tonight.
18.5% of brackets had Virginia winning the title, the highest percentage of any team.

Happy Wife Happy Life…
My wife always will be able to say she picked UMBC over Virginia.
Why? She loves golden retrievers.

Solid Research…
Don’t bank on this Cinderella run ending soon for UMBC, either. I just did some research and 16 seeds have never lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Pretty Much…
As a joke…. somebody somewhere filled out an NCAA tournament bracket and had UMBC beating Virginia. That person will now beat us all.
