The nickname of the NCAA basketball Tournament rang true again. The 14th-seeded Oakland Golden Grizzlies took down the third-seeded Kentucky Wildcats 80-76 in the first round of the tournament to prove that madness is alive again in March.
Oakland University, a mid-major school in Rochester, Michigan, is playing in its fourth-ever NCAA Tournament. The Golden Grizzlies won the Horizon League Championship to earn a bid to March Madness, and they seized every bit of the opportunity in the Round of 64.
