I don't follow the sport, but it sounds like UVA was looking forward and lost a trap game.

16 seeds are now 1-135. First 16/1 upset in history.

They can stop talking about it now.

UMBC didn't just eke out a win over UVa, they dominated, winning by 20.
Returned more to form in the second round, which I sort of expected a let-down.
