Bar set high for second weekend of March Madness

The NCAA Tournament is known for madness, but the past weekend was something else.

There were buzzer-beaters galore, including a half-court heave by Northern Iowa's Paul Jesperson that ended Texas' season late Friday night. That shot set a record, giving double-digit seeds 10 victories in the 32 games of the first round, eclipsing the high of nine victories set in 2001 and 2012.

One of those double-digit seeds that claimed a victory was No. 15 Middle Tennessee State, which never trailed on the way to a nine-point win over No. 2 Michigan State, sparking debate whether or not it was the greatest tournament upset off all time.
