One of our No. 1 seeds, Duke, went down in the first round!
The Blue Devils fell at the hands of 16-seed, the Lehigh Mountain Hawks.
Took 140 games for the 1-16 upset to happen in the NCAA tournament, only one matchup in the ultimate fan bracket, sorry Duke https://t.co/DR53cgJb2i

It wouldn’t be the first time the Blue Devils fell at the hands of Lehigh.
Poor, Duke.
But that wasn’t the only upset that blew our minds.
The UMBC Retrievers, a 12-seed, had an Iron Man moment over the 5-seed Virginia Cavaliers.
And they loved every second of it.
Awww sweet! We got to be Iron Man *epic guitar riff* https://t.co/ugAL5MlVEY

You know what they say about the NCAA tournament…

However, the Retrievers seem to be a little worried about their next matchup, the 4th-seeded Maryland Terrapins.
Can they channel their inner Super Hero again?
Our second round matchup tho… https://t.co/iyihO63aGy

And despite their major upset over 4-seed Arizona, Murray State – a 13-seed – played it relatively cool.

Back to the fans.

All it took was a few words of encouragement from Flyers superstar forward Obi Toppin.
And now, Dayton is ready for the Round of 32:

But they’re up against some stiff competition in 3-seed, the Wisconsin Badgers, which defeated 14-seed Montana in the Round of 64.
The Wisconsin Badgers were right on Dayton’s heels in highest number of votes, and it looks like they won’t be going down without a fight.

The Fighting Illini of Illinois, a 6-seed, had a close call in the first round, but survived 11-seed Loyola Chicago.
Now, they’re fired up for their next matchup against 3-seed West Virginia.

Michigan State’s mascot Sparty is bringing his warrior mentality to the bracket, and after helping the 2nd-seeded Spartans move past 15-seed Hawaii, Sparty is ready for a Round of 32 matchup with 10-seed BYU.
