In our office bracket I was checking out the last place person, a woman on international rotation from Egypt. She has UMBC winning the whole thing.
:-0
The tiebreaker is the final score, she has UMBC winning 18-11.

The 1-16 upset has long been considered one of the final frontiers in sports. The truly impossible upset. And it has been perpetrated by a commuter school from the America East upon the leafy upper-crust Atlantic Coast Conference enclave founded by Thomas Jefferson.As TJ himself once said, “I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” Now here is that hostility being visited upon his own school. Virginia has gagged upon its own privilege.

I hope this means future Jeffersons will think before they pledge eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

did not think that was going in at all, crazy last second shot/play

absurd shot...really good defense

gotta put more pressure on those passers
― lag∞n, Sunday, 18 March 2018 04:27 (six years ago) link
that was an insane shot. hard to blame the defense.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 18 March 2018 04:28 (six years ago) link
idk not defending the inbounder at least seems like a blunder
― lag∞n, Sunday, 18 March 2018 04:30 (six years ago) link
that shot was from like 30 feet at best and was defended. i'd take that in most situations.

what a prayer of a shot. he looked like he splayed out trying to draw contact/foul. defender went straight up, arms in his face, nothing you can do there.
― NBA YoungBoy named Rocky Raccoon (m bison), Sunday, 18 March 2018 13:25 (six years ago) link
Best thing about college basketball, having to go the full length of the court for these shots. Inbounds play at half court wouldn’t have been nearly as exciting.
― Jeff, Sunday, 18 March 2018 13:28 (six years ago) link
What an incredible shot, truly one of those moments you live for as a sports fan. I usually hear from my mom when things happen to Michigan sports, but I didn't hear from her after the shot, because she turned the TV off with three seconds left!

Incredibly unlikely shot, but Poole has ice in his veins, and even though he's a freshman, he's probably the guy on Michigan to make a shot when it matters most.

Crazy shot to end the half of the cuse/mstate game. Which has been borderline unwatchable.

eh but the whole point of the NBA rule is to make more of these buzzerbeater attempts possible!
― k3vin k., Sunday, 18 March 2018 20:19 (six years ago) link
yeah the full court buzzerbeater is more impressive, because its harder to convert
