Let's face it, folks. By the time this weekend is over, there will be more upsets this year in the NCAA basketball tourament that a conga line of nauseated partygoers waiting to purge themselves at the vomitorium.
In the first round, four lower-seeded teams pulled off improbable upsets. #13-seed San Diego refused to be intimidated by U-Conn and sent the #2 seed to an early exit int the West regional, as did #12 Western Kentucky when it waxed #5-seeded Drake. Ditto #10 Davidson vis-a-vis #7 Gonzaga, #12 Villanova vis-a-vis #5 Clemson, and #11 Kansas State vis-a-vis #6 USC in the Midwest regional.
Here's how San Diego played giant-killer in upsetting #2 seed U-Conn:

Given the upsets that occured, you can bet your bottom dollar those who bet on the games will be taking one hell of a financial bath, Calgon or no Calgon.
Anyone for electroshock therapy?
