Here is your random sports fact for the day:
If Villanova beats UConn in the title game, or if Michigan State beats North Carolina, we will have witnessed a tournament run that has only happened once in the 25 year history of the expanded (64-65 team tournament). The 1997 Arizona Wildcats, led by Miles Simon and Mike Bibby, were the only team in tournament history to defeat 3 number 1 seeds. Sparty and the Wildcats could have that opportunity next Monday, if the cards fall right. In a tournament that has been fairly blah, with no Cinderellas, only 1 real upset (Cleveland State over Wake Forest) and just 2 buzzer beaters (Gonzaga over Western Kentucky and Villanova over Pittsburgh), it is nice to know there is some history that could be made (besides mid majors getting shafted more this year than any year in recent memory). Go Nova!
