Last night (Saturday) the ninth seeded Wichita State Shockers shocked the top seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs, 76-70. At one point the Bulldogs were down by as many as 13. Gonzaga however was able to get it going to take a seven point lead with 5:30 left to play. The Shockers weren't going down just yet; they then hit five straight three pointers on their way to victory.
This will not be the last upset of the tournament, but it's not the first either. (13th seeded) LaSalle beat (4th seeded) Kansas State in the round of 64; LaSalle will play (12th seeded) Ole Miss after Ole Miss beat (5th seeded) Wisconsin. (12th seeded) Oregon has already beat Oklahoma State then Saint Louis (5th and 4th, respectively) to advance to the Sweet 16. But of course the big upset was 15th ranked Florida Gulf Coast University absolutely taking care of 2nd seeded Georgetown. I'm excited to see how the rest of this bracket plays out and who emerges as this year's Cinderella.
