2009 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First Round Results
Well the first round of March Madness is over now. It was full of some exciting games as always. It also had quite a few upsets as it often does.
The biggest shocker of the round was #4 Wake Forest getting beat around by the team that has to be considered the Cinderella of the first round, #13 Cleveland State. They are now 2-0 in the first round of the tournament all-time, having only ever made it one other time in 1986 and upsetting their opponent that year too.
They will play #12 Arizona this weekend who upset #5 utah. Cleveland State could setup a David vs. Goliath matchup in the Sweet 16 round against #1 overall team Louisville.
The other underdogs advancing to the weekend were:
Region: Underdog (Team they upset)
