NCAA 2013 Upset Watch: Lower Seeds Taking Over Tournament
Florida Gulf Coast University has been the story of the NCAA Tournament after their colossal upset of mighty Georgetown in the first round, but the Eagles of FGCU aren't the only underdogs who are over-achieving.
In the West bracket alone, only two of the top eight seeds are weren't knocked out of the tournament (Ohio State and Arizona). In a college basketball regular season where parody ruled, it makes sense that the chaotic nature of the season transferred over to the tournament.
Here is a list of the low seeds (9 and above) that got at least one win. Those listed in bold still have a chance at riding the upset train all the way to Atlanta and the Final Four:
15-seed Florida Gulf Coast
14-seed Harvard
13-seed LaSalle
12-seed Ole Miss
12-seed Oregon
12-seed Cal
11-seed Minnesota
10-seed Iowa State
9-seed Temple
9-seed Wichita State
2013 was not the year to pick by seed, especially if you like Gonzaga or Georgetown.
