- NC This is what March Madness is about because you never know what madness will ensure and with most people probably thinking this would be an easy victory for #1 Baylor. NC took a play out of an old Alumni player ( You Know Who and if you don’t SHAME) and they took that personally. When you take out a #1 early in the tournament all eyes go to you.
- Baylor Adam Flagler 27 Points
- For Baylor this is a punch to the face like Buster Douglas Knocking out Mike Tyson in the tenth round to win the championship( In this case you just lose the chance of going back to back) if anything is will add fuel to the fire for Baylor to try come back next year if they are able to make the tournament ( You Never Know ) and come back and win the whole dang thing.
