So that is why they call it March Madness. The Virginia Cavaliers, who many had picked to win the national title were beaten 74-54 by the UMBC Retrievers. Say what? I have not heard of them.
The initials stand for University Of Maryland, Baltimore County.
It was the first time in tournament history that a 16 seed beat a number 1 seed.
It may be the biggest sports upset since Buster Douglas knocked Mike Tyson almost 30 years ago.

No Joy In Cougarville--Tony Bennett Headed To VA.

Coach Tony Bennett who lead the Washington State Cougar Basketball team to the NCAA Tournament twice, has left for Virginia. Bennett, national coach of the year turned down two major coaching jobs last year to stay in Pullman. This year he is leaving after a less glamorous season. The Cougs exited in the first round of the NIT Tournament.
Before Tony Bennett had become head coach, the basketball program was barely on the "radar screen" . He will be hard to replace.
