Bracket Busted: UMBC Upsets Virginia

And then there are none.

CBS Sports reports there are no perfect brackets left on its website after No. 16 seed UMBC upset No. 1 seed Virginia.  It's the first time in tournament history that a 16-seed defeated a top seed.  That's a stretch of 136 games. And not just A top seed.  THE top seed in the entire tournament.

I told you on the radio this week that 92.8% of brackets were busted when Buffalo upset Arizona.   CBS Sports NOW reports:

I accepted Bonnie's challenge to fill out a bracket using a goofy rule.  I decided to advance teams with the letter "i" in the school name.  Suffice to say,  I am using my bracket as a welcome mat.  If only I had picked "u."  

Meanwhile, Joe Sherburne had one goal in mind in winning this game:


Because you are going to be afraid to ask today, UMBC stands for University of Maryland Baltimore County (yes, I had to look it up.  BTW, check out the Twitter feed of UMBC Athletics.  Fans were trying to trash-talk them during and after the game and they were having NONE OF IT.

Unfortnately, a lot of folks will be rooting against UMBC in the next game because it is all about total points now in the office pool.
