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?

March Madness upsets, and the athletes who make it happen

Written by The_Zimbio_Team on

March Madness captivates people with it's buzzer-beating upsets, but beyond the upsets, there is something fascinating about watching and reading about individual players.

These guys are college kids, most of whom will never play in the NBA. This is their one moment to shine on national TV. Their one moment to make that incredible 26 foot shot with less than a second left in the game. Their one moment to take a 12 seed to the Sweet 16

Sure, Stephen Curry had a great year before the tourney, but he only became a household name after Davidson pulled off two major March Madness upsets in a row.

And he’s not the only one.

Here's our list of players to watch in the next round of madness:

Derrick Rose #23 of the Memphis Tigers

D.J. Augustin #14 of the Texas Longhorns

Russell Westbrook #0 of the UCLA Bruins

Stephen Curry #30 of the Davidson Wildcats
