Michigan, oops! Kansas, oh my! Think about these Saturday upsets when you try to make sense of Illinois' unexpected 95-68 — not the win, but the margin — basketball romp over Minnesota on Wednesday.
No one in college basketball is immune to these irregularities.
Imagine the sadness at Virginia, which performed admirably in Saturday night's epic showdown against Duke's Supermen — a 72-70 road loss — in trying to comprehend the only other defeat in 26 games to UMBC (who?) in the 2018 NCAA tournament. By 20 points. No explanation. Oh, in case you forgot, UMBC is University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
