Can you imagine the shock the UVA players were in after this game? How in the world did UMBC accomplish this? Sure, there were previous close games between a #1 and #16 seed in which the #1 seed still came out on top but this was just an absolute beatdown! To use the term shellshocked would be an understatement. I'm a Kentucky fan and I thought us losing to Robert Morris in the NIT was embarrassing. I can't imagine how UVA fans felt after this one.

In hindsight, it makes sense a team like Virginia would be the first. A team that plays at a slow/deliberate pace is more likely to allow an inferior team to hang around. That's how Princeton almost knocked off #1 Georgetown with Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo 30 years ago. Teams like Pitino's UK or Roy Williams' Carolina squads wouldn't have this happen because they forced mistakes with tempo, pace, and pressure.

The upset made plenty of sense. What didn't make sense, and still doesn't make sense, is the margin of victory. The Retrievers shredded the vaunted Pack Line and took the Cavaliers to the woodshed. A margin of 7 to 10 points would be logical. A 14/15/16 seed winning by 20 defies logic.

@DeityPsymon
Жыл бұрын
I don't think so. Purdue wasn't the number 1 overall seed, but FDU was a much weaker team. They didn't even win their own conference regular season or tournament, and the NEC is arguably the weakest conference in the country. They lost to some miserable teams, many of them under .500, including one to Hartford, who only had 5 wins. UMBC and Virginia was a clash of styles and you could see more logically how Virginia might lose. Virginia was out a key player and was a slow, methodical team that relied on a great defense. That Virginia team only averaged around 55 points per game, going against a face-paced team that averaged in the 70s. Virginia wasn't equipped to come back from a big deficit. Here, Purdue is not a slow methodical team, they can keep up tempo and pace. Their star is a big guy down low who is going against the smallest team in the country. Sure, Purdue can shoot poorly, but you have that huge advantage down low and know how to at least turn the pace up if necessary. There's just no reason this upset should've happened.

@@DeityPsymonexactly. But still, Edy was basically all you had to stop on Purdue and they really couldn't defend. It's close, but given Purdue's habit of failure against NEC and MAAC schools, the UMBC win was more impressive. Odom out coached the NCOY. His team beat up on a historic defense. That same defense was unstoppable the next year. A compromise: This game is the greatest coaching upset in history. The FDU game is the best team upset.
UMBC had like 3 points at the 8 minute mark of 1st half. And the game was 19-19 with about minute left in half. This is quite an amazing feat by UMBC. On the opposite side, Tony Bennett handled everything with class in the postgame. But, hella of a game for UMBC. They got on such a roll in the 2nd half.

UMBC flat-out earned it, and there is no way to make excuses or take that away from them.

NC State has the best story. the 6 seed, the perfect underdog team, almost got upset by Pepperdine in the first round that went to double OT, and goes on to face a stacked Houston squad that was the favorites to win it all, and upset them, with Jim Valvano running around after they did it. UMBC has the best upset. the weakest team in the field, that advanced on a last second 3 by Lyles to get to the tourney, that had to go face the most obvious overall number 1 in some time up to that point. UMBC played tough the first part, with 21-21, but you've seen this before, the lower seeded team just can't keep up with better teams. the 2nd half of the UMBC-UVA game is just something i go back once in awhile just to make sure that this actually happened. The weakest 16 seed completely destroyed The best team in the nation in that 2nd half. 53 points in one half which is what Virginia usually gave up on the average game. I expected a 16 seed to beat a 1 at some point. but not like that, and definitely not UMBC over Virginia.

@@drpopandfizz Very, very well-put.
I am from near UMBC School was ballistic after this. So cool
56:22 when we knew it was actually 100% going to happen
Okay, the three-pointers, but the rebounding and the hustle, and the D!?!?!?!…..Like, WOW!!!!!!
This was unbelievable.
Who's here after Fairleigh Dickinson beat Purdue
Looking forward to March madness this year!
I will watch this every year before March madness!!!!
15-45 years from now we gonna look back at this day and just say we saw it live and got to witness it!!

hehe cant use we're right.
This is a sports moment that you will always remember where you were when it happened
Going by the final score of this game, they must’ve had the seedings mixed up 😂.
Does anybody remember that computer commercial that would always say where would you be when such and such happens well a 16 seed beating a 1 seed was one of the scenarios
20 point victory 😳 16 over a 1. Unreal

Dean Tackett I think it’s more he expected Virginia to come back no one thought they were actually gonna lose until the final minutes. Everyone expected UMBC to at least choke it away to them
oh man watching all those tears fall was just beautiful. Amazing moment.

I prefer Raff's translation of the acronym (and one of the best ad libs in sports broadcating): U Might Be Cinderella.
I'm so glad I had the night off from work when this game happened. Considering some of the other games that were on, I figured no use watching the whole thing. But I tuned in for the tip and didn't turn to any other games other than during halftime. It was such a surreal feeling watching history happen. My dad and I couldn't believe it. Definitely one of my favorite sports moments just watching it unfold in the moment as a fan

Happened to Duke as well. Lost to Mercer in the 1st round and won it all the following year.
This is way March Madness is the best!!
Now 5 years later, it has happened again. Fairleigh Dickinson has taken down Purdue 63-58
crazy watching this whole game back and see the turning points. I think that offensive rebound at 10:38 that led to the three won them the game, because UMBC was like 8 minutes into the game with only scoring one bucket. That three set the path for them the rest of the game
Thank you so much for uploading this. Please do more games like this! 🙏🏼
Watching this in 2019....so good!!!
I hated this game last year. But this year " the final four".... Va reloaded!!

Doesn’t matter. This is the most embarrassing thing ever. Who cares if you won a title? Could’ve had 2!
WOOHOO!!! GO DAWGS!!! #retrievernation 💛🖤💛🖤🐶🐾 IM STILL SO GLAD UMBC WON AGAINST UVA!!! I feel like I will always remember that (March Madness 2018)!!! 😊😊
I forget how much of a blowout this was for UMBC and a fire dumpster for Virginia! This was not just a #16 beating a #1, but a #64 beating a sound alll-around #1!!
UMBC class of 2006 here; well done Retrievers!
Thank you for posting this!
As a Virginia Tech fan I was one of the few people who picked this game.
I think this is a reminder to not assume the #1 seed will beat the #16...I don't know about you but, next time I fill out my bracket I might think a little harder on the #16 seed that they are playing...CONGRATS UMBC FANS!

Mason Gleva this was probably a fluke. Also the injury to UVA’s six man hurt them. But with the way basketball is now where everyone can shoot.... you never know
