The First Big Upset
Upsets in the Mens NCAA tourney? Oh yeah.
Number 13 seed North Texas beat 4 seed Purdue.
Number 12 seed Oregon State, which started the season picked last in the Pac12, beat 5 seed Tennessee.
Number 11 seed Syracuse whomped Number 6 seed San Diego State.
Number 10 seed Rutgers beat 7 seed Clemson.
Number 9 Wisconsin beat Number 8 UNC (not really an upset-- 8/9 is a tossup game-- but they won by 23).
And in the biggest upset of the day, a 2 seed, Ohio State, lost to a 15 seed, The Oral Roberts University.
Pretty bad day for the Big 10, with two highly seeded teams (Purdue and OSU) out in the first round, but a great day for college basketball.
