Iowa brings much-needed chaos to NCAA Tournament with upset of Florida
USA TODAY
Who had Iowa as the chaos agent in the NCAA Men's Tournament? Who cares! At least it's some fun in otherwise chalky bracket
Thank you, Iowa.
The ninth-seeded Hawkeyes brought some chaos to the Men's NCAA Tournament, sending the first No. 1 seed packing with their 73-72 upset of defending champion Florida. After an opening weekend that left most of the bracket covered in chalk dust, once again, the Madness is now back in March Madness.
"March is for the dreamers, and there is no better dreamers than us," said Alvaro Folgueiras, whose 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left set off pandemonium among Iowa fans and anyone rooting for busted brackets.
Which is pretty much the point of the NCAA tournament, right?
