CBS' Seth Davis tweeted out “Virginia. Sharpie” — his signature social-media version of a victory cigar — when the score was 5-2. But cut Davis some slack. Everyone had written in Virginia, with everlasting ink. No one believed in Maryland-Baltimore County.
No one except possibly Jairus Lyles, who scored 28 points and missed two shots, and point guard K.J. Maura, who played 40 minutes against Virginia's vaunted defense and committed two turnovers, and the rest of the Retrievers who for the rest of their days will be known as Golden.
We figured the ultimate upset would happen some day.
