Hello, Cinderella

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Wisconsin-Milwaukee continued it's amazing run by stunning No. 4 seeded Boston College 83-75 and becoming only the fifth No. 12 seed to advance to the final 16 since 1989.

Here's a humorous sidenote to that game: Bruce Pearl, UW-Milwaukee's coach, was formerly a graduate assistant at Boston College and once pulled on the BC eagle mascot uniform for a game because the original eagle was sick.

Wake Forest, a No. 2 seed and a big favorite to make the Final Four (in my bracket, also) fell to the 7th seed West Virginia in 2 overtimes.

Consider Saturday the Day of the Upset as two number 3 seeds also fell (Gonzaga to Texas Tech and Oklahoma to Utah).

Madness, I tell you, madness...
