March Madness is underway in Dayton, Ohio with two Tuesday play-in games. They call it madness for the upsets that are about to ensue.
A handful of schools have put themselves on the map in recent seasons. Miami head coach Jim Laranaga made the George Mason Patriots famous in a Final Four run as a No. 11 seed in 2006. Shaka Smart took his No. 12 seeded VCU Rams as far a few years later.
The more shocking upsets come from higher seeds. Last season, St. Peter’s made history as the first No. 15 seed to reach the Elite 8. Before they could start the run, the Peacocks had to get past No. 2 seeded Kentucky.
While the Longhorns could fall prey to No. 15 seed Colgate, I wouldn’t anticipate Texas to lose. The most likely upsets usually occur with teams ranked between No. 9 and No. 13 seeds. Let’s look at some of the teams who can pull off potential upsets.
