A 16 has done it! -- UPGRADING TO POSBANG!!!
I never thought I'd see it.
I LOVE COLLEGE SPORTS

March 16th, 2018 at 11:34 PM ^
Bang, bang? I think so!
March 16th, 2018 at 11:53 PM ^
that not only was it a 1 seed but the overall #1 seed, oof UVA!
March 17th, 2018 at 12:08 AM ^
WOW bang baby
March 16th, 2018 at 11:35 PM ^
20 point blowout
they almost got the reverse cover! that was insane! we be banging like it's the first time, because it is
March 16th, 2018 at 11:35 PM ^
UMBC Retrievers are GOLDEN!!
March 17th, 2018 at 12:38 AM ^
Don't wanna be the debbie downer, but the UMBC Retrievers are actually Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, not Golden Retrievers lol.
They took an interesting approach. Most teams choose a mascot that strikes fear in their opponents. UMBC chose a mascot that melts their opponents hearts with its adorable tail wagging.
...but Taller!
And better at basketball!
Although Air Bud was no slouch.
After what they did , plus they wore Yellow jerseys, that all adds up to Gold in my book

Makes Michigan's run to the championship that much easier
March 16th, 2018 at 11:39 PM ^
I've viewed UNC as our biggest obstacle to the championship game. Always good to see other teams go down in case we can pull it out against UNC.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:40 PM ^
"In case we pull it out"? Come on dude.
We never pull out!
Bang me!
March 16th, 2018 at 11:35 PM ^
UVA always chokes
March 16th, 2018 at 11:51 PM ^
16 seed UMBC beating no.1 seed Virginia is the biggest upset in college basktball since 1982 when then no.1 ranked Virginia lost to D2 Chaminade
March 17th, 2018 at 12:29 AM ^
Despite their ranking very few picked them to win it all. Michigan would be favored to win if they played during the tournament. Respect for their season and the classy way Bennett handled the loss but it shows how in college basketball the only thing that matters is the tournament
March 16th, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
oh yeah
March 16th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
Dance like you've never danced before.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
No 16 seed has ever lost a 2nd round game
March 16th, 2018 at 11:39 PM ^
Im buying a retriever tomorrow. Fuck uva. Haha choke every tournament. This is great!
March 17th, 2018 at 12:05 AM ^
every other high seed in their part of the bracket lost - 1, 8, 4 all lost.
March 17th, 2018 at 12:15 AM ^
was bitching about his seed and potential opponents the other day.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
LOVE IT! Just wish it happened to Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, or MSU for the first time.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:44 PM ^
Yep I had the same thought.
March 17th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
Agree, beating one of the storied programs would have been better, as well as a last second win. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing that it happened, but personally it felt a tad anti-climatic because it was such a blowout. Maybe its because I always think of the Princeton/Georgetown game and expected a #16 seed to win on the last play...not run the #1 seed out of the gym.
Congrats retrievers.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
Kicked the shit out of them!!
March 16th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
Rare that Shock the World really applies. But here. Wow
March 16th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
POSBANG!!!! I don’t even care that my bracket is fucked! UMBC!!!
March 16th, 2018 at 11:38 PM ^
All those people who picked umbc to win it all are going to own your bracket
March 16th, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
Do we get a cookie?
has their day!
Heh.
I used that picture to get my family excited about buying a Golden puppy a couple years ago.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
WOOF
March 16th, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
Never in my life did I think I would see this. Not just a win but by 20. The next FGCU?
March 16th, 2018 at 11:40 PM ^
Kentucky. Not saying any of it will be easy, but their path to the final four just got way easier with this and Buffalo advancing.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
That's never going to happen again
March 16th, 2018 at 11:57 PM ^
but to have the 16 win by 20?! We could be waiting a long time for that outcome to repeat itself.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:38 PM ^
is a slightly older Paul Rudd
i like that the two Paul Rudd fans on this site downvoted this.
probably because the guy really doesn't look like Paul Rudd at all, but it's still funny.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:38 PM ^
But teams have been a lot closer really ever since the one and done rule came about. UVA shocked me! I thought they really could win it all and they shit the bed.
