14-seed Davidson led by four with 20 seconds to go against 3-seed Marquette. This is how it all fell apart.
How To Blow A Huge Upset
The Ultimate Faces Of Relief
Memphis survived an upset bid from St. Mary's. And boy, did they look relieved.
Down by five with seven seconds to go, 11-seed St. Mary's hit this absurd bank three to get within two of 6-seed Memphis.
Then, even more absurdly, they forced Memphis to turn the ball over on the inbounds. All of a sudden, St. Mary's had the opportunity to tie or win after being down by five seconds before.
Memphis was nervous, as you might expect.
But, after playing solid defense on the inbounds, Memphis forced a tough last-second heave that went long. Memphis wins a nail-biter, and those dudes were RELIEVED.
The One Hilarious Mistake In What Will Otherwise Be A Perfect Game
Top-seed Louisville is blowing out their opponent, 16-seed North Carolina A&T. Doesn't mean everything's going right.
Louisville is well on their way to an easy win over North Carolina A&T in the first round of the tourney. But forward Chane Behanan got a little... too comfortable.
Fortunately, the brick went right to Wayne Blackshear, who allowed Behanan to redeem itself. But still:

Did Dr. Octopus Play In A March Madness Game?
Or is announcer Ian Eagle just losing his mind?
During Colorado State's first-round matchup against Missouri, announcer Ian Eagle must've been tiring out after a long day of calling basketball, because he said something pretty strange about CSU player Jonathan Octeus.
In case you're wondering — this is what Octeus would look like with eight arms.

Twitter Says The Harvard Dweebs Will Get Crushed By New Mexico, Is Wrong
In getting its first NCAA tournament win in program history, Harvard also carried out a basketball version of Revenge of the Nerds .
The New Mexico Lobos were a 3-seed. The Harvard Crimson were a 14-seed, already overachieving after losing two major players in the preseason due to a cheating scandal. And yet: Harvard pulled off its first tourney win in school history, beating UNM 68-62, much to the disappointment of people calling the Cambridge kids nerds.

And no one was more excited than Harvard's most famous basketball alum, NBA star Jeremy Lin.

The Only GIF You Need To See Before Day 2 Of March Madness
Kansas is wilding out.
Ben McLemore is a freshman and the best player on the University of Kansas. He is also the best dancer. In the world. First, he gets things going in the Kansas locker room with a little running in place.
Then his teammates start to get in on the act. (Bonus points to seven-footer Jeff Withey, who's wiggling in his seat in the background.)
Then all hell breaks loose: McLemore goes to 11, with Rio Adams and Elijah Johnson similarly upping the ante, plus the solid contributions of Shirtless Leg-Kick Dude.
Until the grand finale. That's how you get hype.

After Winning The Super Bowl, Ravens Wide Receiver Torrey Smith Interned With A Congressman

WASHINGTON — Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith made an unconventional career move after his team won the Super Bowl: He took an internship with a member of Congress.
Smith interned during March for Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat — and did an "outstanding job," the congressman said Friday.
"It was a pleasure having Torrey Smith intern with us, and I was glad that I could offer him the opportunity," Cummings said in a statement. "Torrey was eager to learn about the legislative process and was treated no differently than any of our other interns – all of whom play a meaningful and important role in helping me serve the constituents of Maryland's 7th District. I hope that this experience gave him the perspective he sought and I thank him for his outstanding work."
Smith worked primarily out of the congressman's Baltimore office, according to a post on the Ravens website, and performed average office duties such as reading letters from constituents.
The team's director of player development set up the internship for Smith, who was looking to do something interesting during his offseason.

The Sweetest Moment Of One Of The Biggest March Madness Upsets Ever
Florida Gulf Coast was founded in 1991. They're a 15-seed. And they just beat Georgetown.
Florida Gulf Coast, a 15-seed in only its second year of tournament eligibility (the school was only founded in 1991!) defeated powerhouse 2-seed Georgetown.
Image by Elsa / Getty Images
Florida Gulf Coast led for most of the game, but Georgetown made a comeback down the stretch. Until Brett Comer threw an alley oop that Chase Fieler slammed down. It's the greatest dunk of this year's tournament. (And maybe of the last few tournaments.)
Let's look at that from a different angle.
