Topsy Turvy Tampa

The 2008 NCAA Men’s Division 1 Basketball Tournament has already produced some history. For the first time ever, all the games at one site (Tampa) have resulted in the lower seed beating the higher seed:

  • Western Kentucky (12) beat Drake (5) 101-99 (OT) in the West bracket
  • San Diego (13) beat Connecticut (4) 70-69 (OT) in the West bracket
  • Siena (13) beat Vanderbilt (4) 83-62 in the Midwest bracket
  • Villanova (12) beat Clemson (5) 75-69 in the Midwest bracket

Tampa doesn’t host any more games this year, but I’m sure it will become a lucky charm for underdogs in the years to come.
