Love seeing this on my homepage...

Just another story from that game, playing golf the next day I spotted another Wake grad at a cross area on the course and I asked him "what about that crap last night?" He responded" after they hit their third three to start the game I looked at my wife and told her I have seen this before and am going to bed". I congratulated him on the move as I stayed with it until the second half. Just a bitter game.

Someone is trolling Wake. By definition, all the #15 and #14 seed victories would be bigger first round upsets. Personally, I think Richmond over Syracuse might be the biggest upset.

This. In terms of talent that game was more like a 2 v. 10 second round game. 10 players from that game are still playing basketball for a living, including 5 in the NBA.

7 played for Wake (4 NBAers plus L.D. (D-League), David Weaver (Poland), Tony Woods (Cyprus))

while 3 played for Cleveland State ( Cole (NBA, 22 vs. Wake), Cedric Jackson (Australia, 19 vs. Wake), and J'Nathan Bullock (Finland, 21 v. Wake)).
 
by today's standards that wake team was absolutely loaded
 
It was a major upset. That Cleveland State team was garbage (double digit losses) and we had four future NBAers on our team.

I would love to blame it on Wellman, but Dino is responsible. To me it's among the most unforgivable losses in school history, if not the most.

Screw Pittsnogle and Gansey.

Those names still make me do this:

At least Pittsnogle flamed out in the NBA and ended up having to declare bankruptcy before returning to rural West Virginia to sell used farm equipment. Gansey went to play in Italy and got caught up in some money laundering scheme, he's been in and out of prison fighting legal battles ever since, even had his passport revoked. That game was literally the last good thing that ever happened to either of them.


At least that's what I tell myself when I can't sleep at night.

That's what you get for having MSN as your homepage. Is this 2003?

Well it's my office computer and I'm usually on msn for about a second until I log into our virtual office suite, but when it came up I saw the Wake Forest jersey and of course it was for something bad.
 
Just our luck, they are not saying our game was the biggest upset at all - just happened to use our picture so everyone sees it...

Or March 16, 2012 #15 Norfolk State Spartans 86---#2 Missouri Tigers 84. Ruined a lot of brackets

Not really. They had a legit NBA player in Cole and two guys who are still playing overseas. That wasn't even our worst loss of the season (The N.C. State team we lost to was actually garbage).

It was a major upset for sure, but it wasn't an historic upset (those are the ones noone sees coming).

John Beilein on the other hand...

And I actually would be more content if those guys went on to amazing success. Would make it seem less like we lost a game to a team we shouldn't have lost to. Beilein proving himself to be a stud coach makes the loss way more bearable in my mind.

Well, maybe not way more, but at least a little more
