Furman!

Furman wins 68,67

ACC is terrible this year

Go FURMAN!!! I watched these guys a few weeks ago in Asheville win the SOCON tournament. They. Are. Good. Good coach too. March Madness baby! Love it!

13 Furman 68
4 Virginia 67

FINAL

Furman rallies from a 67-63 deficit with less than 15 seconds left, including hitting a 3 off a steal with 2.4 seconds left to stun the Hoos.

Hoos' did that! The Purple Paladin's that's hoo.

13 seeds are live this year. Might not be only 4/13 upset this year.

How it’s possible that two 20-minute halves and 20-30 minutes of halftime can stretch out for 2.5 hours, I’ll never know. And nobody breaks 70? Zzzzzz…I mean, love this game!

12/13 seeds might end up 5-3 vs 4/5 seeds this year. Furman makes it 1-0.

Madness. Both games were 67-65. WVU missed a 3 pointer with 1 second left vs. Maryland. Furman made theirs vs. UVA with 2 seconds left.

So happy for Furman. They’ve been putting into their program a lot the past few years. This is great.

With my bracket, I picked Virginia to play in the national title game.

What a buffoon I am.

Virginia on the short end of another opening round stinker. Whodathunkit.

LOL, they just showed a Nissan commercial with the Lepercaun, the Duck and the Bulldog of Gonzaga. Only one of those are in the Tournament.

I'm 0-2 so far. Had Virginia in the Sweet 16.

I couldn't pick Furman because I felt - between UMBC and Ohio - Virginia had exhausted their "quota" of 1st round upsets the past 5 years.

so means one of San Diego St, Charleston, or Furman will be going to the sweet 16.

I don't get a lot of upset picks right, but I picked Furman in my bracket.
