Definitely some upsets yesterday. First up, #8 Loyola Chicago trounced #1 Illinois. #11 Syracuse eked (no pun intended) a win past #3 West Virginia. Much to Amondo’s disappointment his #7 Florida (Gators) went down to #15 Oral Roberts. In the final game of the night, #12 Oregon St. literally sent #4 Oklahoma St. walking home.
After yesterday’s upsets, bmaz from emptywheel speculated on Twitter that there are no clean brackets left. I suspect he’s right.
