March Madness is off to a HOT start with the 13th-seeded Furman Paladins pulling off the last minute 68-67 upset over the 4th-seeded Virginia Cavaliers.
While Furman's victory over Virginia was certainly unexpected, but it wasn't without merit! The Paladins were a talented team in their own right, with a strong defense and a balanced scoring attack. In the end, they were able to execute their game plan and come out on top. They still were +1,000 to win though and it looks like some gamblers willing to take the risk, like Dave Portnoy, cashed in big...
Of course, the upset is just one of I'm sure many more to come. As the games continue and the stakes get higher, there's no telling what surprises are in store. But for now, fans of Furman can celebrate their team's stunning upset and look forward to what's next in this wild and unpredictable tournament.
