this is surreal.  they just beat a No1 seed for the 1st time by 20 freaking points and they seem more proud of that victory against vermont. 

CATONSVILLE U GOING TO ROUND 2!

There are many Badger fans who still clamor for Tony Bennett. I'll have to check in on them today.

Apparently UVA was missing one of its best players, who was hurt this week.

The 6th man is not one of their best players. They were slapped silly pure and simple.

looks like the 5 seed this year collectively decided not to take the 12 lightly.

Just reporting what I read elsewhere, which was apparently not accurate.

Alabama has no business being in this tournament.  It’s a bad team in a bad conference that is about to lose its 16th game.

The SEC is slightly up because CBB is down as a whole.

Yeah I read something similar.   He's a bench guy who mattered to UVA.  Fungible in the grand scheme of last night though. 
I suppose the conventional view of a #1 seed going down would be a flukey buzzer shot or some such luck. I admit to having watched zero seconds of any ACC team this season, it made me wonder how the hell UVA dominated the season.
