March Madness Upsets

A place to follow and predict March Madness upsets. The NCAA men's basketball tourney is filled with drama and smack talk for a reason...

Out of nowhere, a screw up, miracle shot, injury, or just plain bad joo-joo can rock the brackets wide open.

Got a prediction for 2008? Afraid that Oral Roberts and Portland State are already out of the running for miracle upsets, but we'll still get at least a few surprises along the way.

Tampa gave us some major March Madness upsets in the first round. Can these 12 and higher seeds continue? How far will Davidson go?

After allowing a go-ahead touchdown pass on a fourth-and-11 play from Villanova's junior quarterback Chris Whitney to senior wide receiver Brandyn Harvey, Richmond had one last chance to overcome a day of disaster.

Dayton

Villanova survived against a very good Dayton team today. The 21st ranked Flyers beat Georgia Tech yesterday and almost pulled off their second upset of the week. Brian Gregory's team is looking very good already. A home-and-home series with this program usually pops up as a possibility every once in a while, but again we see some evidence for why the Irish will most likely avoid such a matchup. What a shame, I'd love to see Coach Brey...
