this. Miracle on Ice and it's not even close.

UMBC being called "the greatest upset in sports history" is a joke. It was a spectacular upset, sure, but the disparity between 1 and 16 seeds is more narrow than ever. UVA plays a static brand of basketball that crumbles in the tournament every year and has one potential NBA player on their roster - and he was injured for this game. It's still impressive what Bennett gets out of those guys, but this wasn't some historically great UVA team despite the record. No one is confusing them for 1990 UNLV.
