Every NCAA Tournament produces upsets. With so many upsets each year, one must be truly special to be one of the most memorable in the history of March Madness. And by special, I mean they have to cause jaws to drop. With that in mind, here are the 10 biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history.
10. Loyola Marymount 149, Michigan 115 – 1990 Second Round, West Region
March 18, 1990 (Long Beach, Calif.)
Spurred by the tragic death of teammate Hank Gathers and the fastest offense in college basketball history, No. 11 Loyola Marymount overwhelmed defending national champion and No. 3 Michigan in the second round. The Lions continued their emotional run all the way to the Elite Eight where they were stopped by eventual national champion UNLV. But the upset of the Wolverines is the game that fans remember most.
