In an NCAA tourney with a ton of great upsets, Northern Iowa pulled off the biggest upset on Saturday, defeating #1 overall seed Kansas 69-67. Northern Iowa led by 8 points at halftime and somehow figured out a way to slow down the high-flying Kansas Jayhawks offense. Northern Iowa then withstood a furious 2nd half comeback by the Jayhawks to hang on for the win. Ali Farokhmanesh led the way for the Panthers scoring 16 points, including a devastating 3-point shot with under a minute to play that increased a 1-point lead to 4 points. What a game…
Cornell (#12) kept their magical run going today with an upset of #4 Wisconsin 87-69. Cornell is firing on all cylinders during the tourney so far, having knocked off #5 seed Temple by 13 points on Friday. Louis Dale (26 points) and Ryan Wittman (24 points) led the way for Cornell’s big win. Now it’s on to the Sweet 16!

In a somewhat lesser upset, Missouri (#10) held off Clemson (#7) 86-78.
#1 seeds Duke and Syracuse are both in action tonight – will we finally see that #16 upset over a #1 seed?! Probably not, but you always need to stay tuned so you don’t miss out when it does happen…
