What do you think has been the biggest upset in NCAA History to this point?
I think it would have to be Hampton-Iowa State in the 2001 NCAA Tournament. The way that game unfolded was crazy. I remember it was the late night game over here in the east and Hampton just kept sticking around the whole game.
Iowa State had Hampton beaten twice. They were up by like 20 with 15 minutes to go and blew the leader, then they were up by about 2 or 3 WITH the ball and the lead in the final minute and it looked like Hampton was finished. I still can't believe the manner in which they won that game. It looked like Tinsley was going to pull it out of the fire for Iowa State but he blew the wide open layup at the end.
That's the only time I've seen a 2 seed lose in the 1st round and I still can't believe it happened.

I know a lot of people are going to say George Mason beating UConn but that really wasn't the best in my opinion. Everyone knew UConn was overrated. Rudy Gay never lived up to his billing (He must have shot like 20% in college) and the rest of the team was garbage. Shut down Marcus Williams and UConn's in trouble against anyone.

And George Mason was a very good team. They were ranked in the Top 25 during the season and, unlike most mid-major cinderellas, they had 2 excellent post players in Lewis and Thomas. Not to mention they got a fortuitous draw and got to play Wichita State in the Sweet 16.

I also don't think Butler's run last year was that spectacular. They were a 5 seed, had excellent chemistry and played the best defense in the NCAA. The only surpring thing was that they beat Syracuse, I didn't see that one coming, that was quite an upset.

So I would say Hampton beating Iowa State was the greatest upset in NCAA Tournament history.
