Two major upsets in the first round--so far.....!

2-seed arizona falls to Princeton! 4-seed Virginia loses to Furman!

At least 98% of brackets are already busted now--and we haven't finished the first round!

But anytime a #2 falls to a #15, that's big. Although I feel like Arizona has a history of underperforming and I remember back in the 1996 Tournament when Princeton upset UCLA.

lost to 16th-seed Univ. Maryland-Baltimore County, who then lost to Kansas State (and hasn't been back to the tournament since.) It's the only game a 16-seed has ever won.
