How the heck did FSU lose to UCF? Won a lot of money if you said Clemson would be highest ranked ACC hoops on 1/16.

Just saw last night’s scores...UVA put Clemson back in their place for a good while!

It was the 2nd largest road win over a top-25 ranked opponent in CBB history, according to ESPN.
 
You can almost always count on Clemson basketball to fail to come through in the clutch. They finally break into the Top 25 and this is how they perform.
 
Noteworthy - some of you have never seen this happen in your lifetime:

 
If you add KY to that duo, I wonder if it has ever happened.

Good info, figured that revised schedule would be coming soon (though I think you have the dates for the First Four wrong, this year they will all be on Thursday, March 18th - to allow teams time to travel to Indianapolis after selection Sunday and get tested prior to playing). A slight departure from the normal schedule, but still allows CBS and Turner to keep many of their same broadcast windows. Seeing an Elite 8 game in Hinkle with a Final Four berth on the line is going to be pretty sweet. I might just have to dust off the old Hoosiers tape and watch that this week in anticipation....
