Duke, Florida, Pitt and Wisconsin all lose.

How about those pesky Tennessee Volunteers? First Texas. Now Florida! With Ken-lucky struggling this year, we could make the tournament. Bruce Pearl is a genius.

In a side note, Tennessee's athletic department released on Friday their 2000-'05 graduation rate. 63% of all male athletes at UT graduate. That is 3% above the national average. If we could only win a bowl game with these geniuses now.

Go Vols! Bruce Pearl for National Caoch of the Year!

Add #15 Wisconsin to the upset list. They lost to North Dakota State. The final score was 62-55 in favor of North Dakota State. I read what a reporter had to say about this game that it was supposed to be a respite/breather for the Badgers and that it would be a sulking, long ride home on the bus for North Dakota State. Well, the tables were turned.

I also learned that Gonzaga escaped with a 64-63 win over San Diego.

It is truly fun to know that for any sport when anything can be unpredictable.

I can't believe the Wisconsin score as they have only lost like 2 or 3 games at home under Bo Ryan.

Also, the last time the last two unbeaten teams lost on the same day was 2/5/1992 when both Duke and Oklahoma State lost.

Definitely was a great day for college bball. No one has ever talked this much about NCAA bball before march.

On a lesser note, but still an upset...UNC lost to UVA (#23 against unranked UVA). This might not be that important to you, but being from Virginia, that's big news around my neck of the woods. Granted, I'm a Duke fan, but any loss by Carolina makes it a good day.
