[Future Foundation]

WELP. WELP. I didn't even get out of Round 1.

Fuck, and I remember Boeheim telling his guys about Michigan State after beating Dayton.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Sucks for Valentine.

 

[truly101]

Lets be honest. us Duke fans are like

EDIT: I do feel bad for Valentine tho

 

[ryan-ts]

People have said that for 25 years, lol.

The 1 Seeds
Virginia - The committee misspelled "Michigan State"

Virginia - Randolph, you were saying?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Well done MTSU. Incredible

And now whoever the fuck has those bracket challenges won't have to pay, because NOBODY PICKED MTSU!

 

[CrocMother]

Great Southern accent there on the coach. Fuckin choice

Losing to Yale in basketball might be just as embarassing tho...

 

[PopeReal]

Loved how Middle Tennessee State just attacked at the end instead of getting scared and tentative.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Sparty usually goes a round or two further in the tournament than they are projected to go. This was the basketball gods way of evening things out

 

[Koko]

Well I had then in the final four could be worse.

 

[CronoShot]

4th largest upset in the last 20 tournaments, according to ESPN.

Better than losing to your rival's grandchild.

 

[bucknuticus]

5th 1st round bounce for sparty in last 12 years.

Not me, they had my Spartan pride on loan! My Spartan pride!

Now I think they can just keep it. I don't even want it back.

 

[TWrecks310]

Fuck you MSU.

I will always be petty after you beat Maryland with a buzzer beater a few years back.

I'm putting this loss on the nets #NetGate

No...nothing is as bad as a 1st round exit, you know this. Losing to be Yale will be bad, but its still better than this.

More of a general comment, not just basketball.

 

[Fjordson]

Unreal choke from Izzo and company. Although I guess it's not really a choke, Middle Tenn. led for seemingly the entire game.

He's a Michigan fan so his delusion is understandable after these past few years

For about an hour. Then everyone forgets.

Today's upset is the biggest upset in the history of the tournament spread wise.

 

[Black Republican]

so who made mad bank off this match?

 

[nillapuddin]

People have said that for 25 years, lol.

at this point though Im pretty sure its a bigger statistically anomaly that it hasnt happened, than that it keeps happening.


Lets see those brackets now

 

[perfectchaos007]

Now Kansas is surely the odds on favorite to win.

 

[pxleyes]

Biggest upset ever? It doesn't feel like it, but I barely followed the regular season this year.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Looks like the committee was on to something about the Big 10

 

[LyleLanley]

 

[shanafan]

.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Biggest upset ever? It doesn't feel like it, but I barely followed the regular season this year.

The fact that they never led has to weigh as one of the larger upsets at the very least.

 

[Elfforkusu]

:lol, Sparty lost?

So much for my bandwagoning!

 

[Bishman]

Losing to Yale in basketball might be just as embarassing tho...

Yale was only +5.5 underdogs. That isn't an upset.

MTS were +16.5 underdogs. This was a big upset.

 

[MindofKB]

MSU, stay free!

 

[bucknuticus]

We get to use it twice in 4 months!

At least sparty scored this time

ESPN's Fantasy Sports twitter says they only have 6 perfect brackets left after that upset.

 

[pxleyes]

didn't even realize that

 

[Camp1nCarl]

Oh god that MSU collapse was GLORIOUS

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Definitely one of the biggest tournament upsets ever, if not the biggest. I can't recall if any of the prior 2 seeds to lose to 15s were the top 2 seed or not. Much less a 2 seed that many thought deserved a 1 seed.

Busted my bracket as I had them in the title game losing to Kansas, but I have no money riding on it this year so happy to see upsets! Gets a bad potential Final Four match up out of the way for WVU as well if we can make it that far (I have us losing to UNC in the Elite 8).

 

[TWrecks310]

For fuck's sake Maryland.

SDSU is horrible at forcing turnovers and you have 6 already

 

[theprodigy]

Michigan State led for 0 seconds and-

oh wait they lost

 

[rokkerkory]

there goes my brackets thanks MSU

 

[shanafan]

It's the gift that keeps on giving! Especially when you are surrounded with Sparty.

 

[unknownstranger]

Michigan State was the 2nd most picked team to win in the first round on ESPN. Only Kansas was picked more.

 

[Lunar FC]

These cinderella teams are ruining lives. Shit needs to stop.

The thing about this busting brackets...it busted EVERYONE'S bracket. Most people had them going to at least the elite 8.

And don't look now, but Temple and Iowa is wicked close.
