Shocking Madness*

My goodness. Eleventh-seeded Syracuse upset three-seed West Virginia today in Indianapolis.

*Update: I misread the the status of the Oregon State-Oklahoma State game and posted unknowingly at 11:47 p.m. that twelfth-seeded Oregon State had beaten 4-Oklahoma State,  In fact there was plenty of time left in the 2H. Happily my unknowing call still turned out to be correct. Just now, it is really, truly FT and twelve Oregon State did upset four Oklahoma State 80-70/

Loyola of Chicago, an eight, knocked off a number one, Illinoise.

Decisions, decisions. Oral or a straight FU? Fifteenth Oral "Sex" Roberts pulled their second "stunner" of this tournament, beating seven-seed Florida.

There hasn't been a first weekend with this many upsets in a long time. COVID? I have no idea.
