Virginia was bad because they were the first to ever lose to a 16 seed, but UMBC was actually decent. They gave an eventual Elite 8 team Kansas State a run for their money in the second round.

Fairleigh Dickinson is just embarrassing.

We did lose by 20 though. Was bad.

But yes, UMBC was much better than FDU and we were missing Hunter, who was by far our most dynamic player.

Fdu was down 42-9 to richmond in the first half earlier this season. Crazy

Second worst loss.

UVA got whipped as a 1 seed.

And, thanks to LSU, aren’t they also tied for worst Bowl game loss, as well?

UVA gave up 53 points in the 2nd half vs UMBC, was outscored by 20.

Purdue was a super weak 1 seed. This isn't as surprising as some make it out to be. Big10 basketball and all

FDU didn't even win their conference tourney either. The best team in their conference was ineligible since it was their first year moving up from D2.

They have the worst 3 year stretch in NCAA tournament history for sure. This is the 3rd straight year, they've lost to a 13 seed or lower.

It’s a decent debate. UVA was number 1 overall and blown out. Purdue was 4 and was close.

But, I assume UMBC was probably better than FDU who got in on a technicality

I’m guessing FDU is the worst team to win a tourney game by any metric

Virginia is worse. They were the #1 overall seed and tournament favorite and got blown out.

Purdue was like the 4th #1 seed selected and only by default for winning the Big10 tournament beating NCAA #10 seed Penn State by 2 points.
