    Great video, you have a good method of storytelling

    They are the top 2 upsets because of the seeding, but when it comes to shock value, no one, and I mean no one, gave Villanova a chance over Georgetown in 1985. The Hoyas were loaded, experienced, etc. Same goes for UNLV in 1991, when Duke beat them in the final four.
  • It HAS to be FDU -Lost their conference tournament, only made it because the winner was ineligible -Shortest team in the nation IIRC going up against Edey -So short they didn’t have a man listed as a CENTER -Outside of the top 300 in computer rankings -Had to survive a First Four matchup to even make it -Purdue shot 4/21 from 3 There was only one opportunity, one shot, one POSSIBLE way FDU beat Purdue and they did

    It’s great to watch a basketball video with undertale music in the background. My niche is covered
  • @p-ruthless9005
    Middle tennesee state beating Michigan state was insane, at least the most shocking 15-2 upset

    I expected this channel to have way more subs! You just got one from me, this is actually some great content.

    Duke vs UNLV in 1991 is the biggest upset in NCAA basketball history. Not even Coach K thought they had a chance. He admitted that 20 years later.

    this video is so good i literally couldn't believe you only have 100 subscribers when i finished watching. You get a sub from me

    Easily UMBC, that Virgina team was a way better team than Purdue
  • @calebos268
    I would say FDU was a bigger upset, whilst UMBC was the more shocking upset.

    We were at the tournament in Charlotte in 2018 to witness both the smack down of UVA and then the following day of UNC by Texas A&M. Being a Duke fan, that was the most fun we’ve had at any of the NCAA Tournaments that we’ve attended for the past 15 years. I know the pain of their fanbase, having set thru Dukes first round losses to Mercer and Lehigh. That’s why they call it March Madness.
