i still remember my roommate throwing his pizza in the air when that umbc game ended, he was so shocked he just stood there with sauce on his shirt. sometimes the pure chaos of a random blowout hits harder than a buzzer beater honestly

[umbraioesse]

People overlook how Duke lost in the first round twice in five years, once to Lehigh and then to Mercer in 2014. That second loss felt even messier because the whole squad just looked confused for 40 minutes.

everyone says UMBC but i legit lsot my voice when norfolk state beat mizzou in 2012, my roomate had them on a bet slip as a joke and we went absolutly nuts when the clock hit zero

[jadekana]

always felt like people sleep on norfolk state over mizzou in 2012, that was a 15 beating a 2 that nobody ever really talks about. it didnt have the drama of a buzzer beater but watching a team just slowly choke out a higher seed in the second half was oddly satisfying.

i was watchign that umbc game live and honestly thought the sportsbook had the line wrong at like 20 points, virginia just looked lost the whole second half

[kendalliryx]

I remember watching UMBC happen live and my buddy had literally just texted me "Virginia is a lock for the final four" right before tipoff, then we both just sat there in complete silence for like ten minutes after it ended.

umbc over uva still teh goat pick no cap, fdu over purdue was wild too but that umbc blowout was diff fr ?

[opinicus2]

umbc for sure. my bracket died that day.

Duke always been a disappointment

[phantki]

was that the year everyone lost their perfect brackets early because of a single game, or am i mixing it up with something else?

[quilltha8]

Nobody ever talks about how Northern Iowa straight up owned Kansas with that halfcourt heave, not just a fluke it was pure execution.

[gauzelike0]

everyone defaults to UMBC which is fair but saint peters whole run in 2022 just felt more improbable if you watched them play defense like robots

[Ladyoslia]

People always talk about the seed number but nobody mentions how Norfolk State straight up embarrassed Mizzou that year, it wasnt even close and the entre arena was confused. That game felt different cause you could see Missouri just quit with like 8 minutes left.

[nyxwyn52]

I always check the starting backcourt's combined assists to turnover ratio when sniffing out a 12 over 5 upset.

[faithon]

My bracket died that night.

[Havenarium]

My brakcet was already toast that year but watching Norfolk State sink Missouri was totally worth it

[Havenixlyn]

I remember watcing Florida Gulf Coast's entire run in 2013 while stuck in a dorm lounge with a broken air conditioner, and the sheer chaos of those alley oops actually made the heat feel worth it.
