Day of the Upset
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
The madness has ensued.
To follow my "March is here! Woohoo!" post, college basketball initiated the month with a string of upsets (and almost upsets) this weekend.
Oh, yeah. And on the women's side, my Lady Tigers of LSU, who only had one loss and were ranked No. 1, were knocked off by perennial powerhouse Tennessee in the conference championship game.

To follow my "March is here! Woohoo!" post, college basketball initiated the month with a string of upsets (and almost upsets) this weekend.
- Previously undefeated and No. 1 ranked Illinois was stunned by Ohio State. Every year some team makes it this far into the season without a loss, but no team has gone the whole season undefeated since Indiana in '76.
- No. 2 North Carolina squeaked by their arch rival and 6th ranked Duke, winning by 2 points to capture their first ACC regular season championship since 1993. This was another game to remember in this storied rivalry.
- Florida decided to end their 8-game losing streak to Kentucky by beating the No. 3 team by 2 points, also.
- No. 4 Wake Forest needed a last second shot to claim a victory over North Carolina State.
- No. 7 Kansas got thumped by Missouri.
Oh, yeah. And on the women's side, my Lady Tigers of LSU, who only had one loss and were ranked No. 1, were knocked off by perennial powerhouse Tennessee in the conference championship game.
