The true magic of the NCAA tournament is in the unknown. Every year, one team or player surges to the forefront of our collective consciousness after an incredible shot or a bracket-busting upset.
Just two games into the men's tournament, we may have already found that story. No. 13 Furman University pulled off an incredible first-round upset over No. 4 Virginia on Thursday.
Down by four points with 19 seconds to play, Furham hit two free throws to cut the lead to two points. The team then intercepted an errant desperation heave by Virginia guard Kihei Clark and Furman's JP Pegues nailed a 3-pointer to give his team the lead with two seconds to play.
