March 2021 has been the story of Madness Upsets. We are on the second day of the 32nd round and anyone can guess who will fall today.
Cinderella’s stories from both Loyola Chicago and Oral Roberts continued on Sunday. –Seed’s Ramblers beat Illinois in Ill1-win8 victory in which Sister Jean’s prayers for Estherini’s 0% below the ister-point line came true.

Fifteenth-ranked Oral Roberts started the tournament by upsetting Ohio State and winning on Sunday 71-7878 – against Seed Florida. The Oral Roberts have won their games by a combined six points, and the Golden Eagles will face 3-seeded Arkansas in their first Sweet 16 since 1974.
It wasn’t just an upset to happen on a Sunday. The 11th-ranked Syracuse looked like some of Jim Bohem’s best teams to beat 3-seeded West Virginia, and had already beaten the Orange team in 12-seed Oregon State, 5-seed Tennessee, so he won again against 4-seed Oklahoma State.
Goodbye to Drew Tim’s mustache?
First-seeded Gonzaga had a superb performance in the win over 8-seeded Oklahoma by Sofmore forward Drew Tim. Tim dropped 30 points to pull down 13 rebounds and added 4 assistants for a good move. After the game, he was informed that his mom had said he would have to cut his mustache if the Bulldogs won – which was news to him, as it turned out.
“This is news to me.” 😅😂

Emotional farewell to Luca Garza
Second-ranked Iowa was knocked out on Monday by Seed’s Oregon, but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort from Luca Garza. The Hockey Center scored 36 of their team’s 80 points and added nine rebounds for good move. After the game, the senior is reflected in the emotional news conference on the final game introducing his Iowa.

Iowa senior Luca Garza gets emotional as he goes out of the game for the final time as a hockey player.
One thing that was more impressive about Garza’s line? Reg made it to Rego to earn those points – Ducks fought 16 of his 20 shots.
Slippers – um, basketball shoes – don’t fit
Remember when Zion Williams was cut so hard in the 2019 Duke-North Carolina game that his shoes fell off? Well, in the second round, something similar happened with Ben Ander Plaza, Ohio.
The 6-foot-8 junior advanced with his sole foot and needed a new pair of shoes in the middle through Bobcats ’matchup against fifth-ranked Crayton.

Jokes only
J Bur Burrow led LSU’s football team to the 2019 National Championships. He’s not cheering at his school, sitting in the seat watching the eighth-ranked Tigers try to upset top-seeded Michigan.
