I guess we’ll just use the Twitter word of moment – #WOW – to describe this CWWAAAZZZZYYYYY day in NCAA hoops lore. No 2-seed had lost to a 15-seed since 2001, and then two go down within a few hours of each other on the same day?? Maybe they were right, and 2012 really is the end.
The Mizzou loss was surprising, as even an uninformed NCAA hoops rube like me knows that while not your traditional power, they still were pretty good. They had an excellent season and at times looked really good, as in maybe a #1 seed if things fell their way in some tight ones vs Kansas. But I don’t know, just hearing that Mizzou fell doesn’t really have the “wow” moment/ring to it?
HOWEVER, I’m no Duke fan, in fact I generally don’t feel bad at all when they lose. But to be Duke and go down to a 15-seed in Greensboro? In the words of the immortal Nelson Muntz:
That said, Coach K makes hating Duke harder and harder. What a class act he is, and always gracious in defeat.
Enjoy your weekend!
