“Until this game, a 2-seed had never lost in the NCAA Tournament”

I don’t think that’s exactly correct!

Clearly, he meant "in the first round." Another example of shoddy editing. There are no editors left in America.

The best part of this list was that it was all on one page with easy scrolling. I thought I may have had to click "next" 80 times.

 

[tbonezone]

So where were these richmond spiders
While the refs tried to break our balls?

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Was hoping our Virginia comeback or Mich State upset might sneak in the mid 70s

 

[SUMBA]

Is Georgetown mentioned at all?

The Princeton win was a thing of beauty. Game plan was flawless and UCLA (with far superior athletes) couldn’t adjust to the back door. Carill was a crusty, likable genius. If I recall, Princeton’s center became a good major league pitcher (Chris Young). They almost did it again the year before or after... against Georgetown if I recall correctly.

UCLA-Princeton was 96.

Georgetown (a 1 point win, IIRC), was 1989, I believe.

Edit: Yes, 89. Gtown won 50-49.

That 1989 game was amazing. They had Gtown on the ropes all game.

Whoa- I was a few years off. I was so rooting against Georgetown that day (and every day for that matter).

Chris Young played two seasons at Princeton before his professional baseball career commenced. His Tigers did beat Georgetown, but it came in the (postseason) NIT. He never played in the NCAAs.

no love for our win over UVA?

Chris Young did have a fine career as a MLB pitcher. Had his choice this winter of GM jobs with the Rangers or Mets and took the Rangers job. He is very smart and very highly regarded. Look for Texas to get a lot better in the next few years.

I was there in College Park. Think we made a turnover on the opening tap and went downhill from there. Could not watch another game live for about 10 years.

I would have been 15. I think it was the last time I cried after a sporting event. I was sure we would win the title that year
