BC is up on #1 virginia 35-24 in the second half...

45-29 right now!!

This would not only be the biggest win in AE history, but the biggest win in NCAA tournament history. A 16 seed has NEVER beaten a #1 ever.

Odom took a program from total despair to the biggest win in tournament history in just a few years. He won’t go unnoticed this offseason, especially after that annihilation.

Guys... GUYS!! It has happened

This could be the turning point for this conference. It definitely will be for UMBC. It would have been greater had it been us, but you can't help but be happy about this. The Retrievers did it!!

Amazing beat down! Congrats to UMBC! And let’s not forget who handed them their last loss 😃
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

If UMBC beat Kansas state, and they can if they play them the  way they played Virginia you can kiss Odom goodbye . What a turn around story with UMBC. New coach. New arena. Wins the AE, beats #1 team in the land!!.. historical..

UMBC needs to be out looking for a new coach because their current coach will be offered a power 5 job this spring.

Had to wander back here for this one. Wow, the morning after and I still cannot believe what I saw. SHREADED the UVA team in the second half?

Good for them. It was fun watching this team in our little world these last two years. Who would have thought?

I wonder if these young men yet understand the magnitude of what they did? An immortal sports moment. They'll never have to buy a drink in a Baltimore area bar the rest of their lives.

And, yes, the comments here about Odom were the first thing I was thinking after the initial shock wore off. He instantly could be in the enviable position of deciding where he wants to go next, and for "Pikiell +" money.

Crazy thing, too, is if they play like that again they could make a run in that bracket. Here's hoping they do.

PS, does the PAC12 fall from grace and this historic AE win prove to be good timing for SBU to get this big fella you all have been talking about in the other thread?

retreiver nation- we are very proud and happy for you!  go beat KSU now!

what a year for the AE.  this, plus SB wlax getting all the attention, UA mlax getting even more, and even vermont mlax is turning heads.  all of these on the national radar is great for the conference.

Truly epic win. Some analysts comparing it to Buster Douglas' win over Mike Tyson or men's hockey over the Russian national team in the Olympics. Definitely good for AEC recruiting.

As great as they played on Friday, I just can't see UMBC regaining its focus with the media frenzy surrounding the team the last 48 hours. Meanwhile, it's been business as usual for Kansas State I'd imagine. Hoping that UMBC puts up a fight, but my sense is that K-State covers the 10.5 point spread.

They’re playing with house money at this point so having nothing to lose could work for them.

That's why I don't think they win today. They've been receiving praise from everybody the past 36 hours for doing something one other team has done. To go from that to refocusing on K-state so soon? Very tall order.
