I'm officially 100% over the Hampton loss. A one seed has lost. 2 seeds have lost TEN times, including times like Duke, Kentucky and MSU. It's just a footnote now.
Yes, but every year when they show the graphic about a 2 losing to a 15, there’s always a footnote to say it first happened to Iowa State.

Blare was way worse than the Niang foot season. ISU gets past MSU and they would been favored in both games to win a Natty.

Hampton didn’t really bother me. That team seemed like they were done by the end of the year and weren’t going anywhere.

UAB sucked because that team seemed to get it too get her before flaming out in that game.

Most experts seem to agree the ISU-MSU game was the de facto national title game.

What made 2001 suck so bad was it was more than a decade before another 2-seed fell, which made us the butt of National jokes for so long. It still sucks, but the sting has greatly gone down now that so many more 2s and even a 1 has gone down since. We’re now just a statistic buried in the sheet at this point.

UConn sucked because I’m convinced we would have beat them with a healthy Niang, and after that skies the limit.

UAB sucked, but we weren’t right for much of that season, and being the first game in the tournament made it worse. But that one was fairly easy to get over.

I believe you’re confusing that for the fact that it always said that it last happened to Iowa State for more than a decade - until both Duke and Missouri went down in the same tournament.

I wish TBS(?) would give Bill Walton a live cut in and let him call the rest of this UCLA game. The conference of champions. :)

You've gotta think McMahon from Murray is going to get some good offers this year. If he goes, does Murray bring Steve back?

#15 for Vermont is going to single-handedly lose them this game. Not ready for the big moment.
