A big upset by Butler over Syracuse in the Sweet sixteen is the one if the not the main reason why people watch the NCCA basketball tournament, everybody loves upsets, especially when one small team knock out a big contender.
I know history does not stand on the side of the upsets much, but right now the way things are going is hard to believe that all the experts are going to be right with their final four picks.
Who would believe that Butler was going to shocked Syracuse in the sweet sixteen? Or even worse, that Northern Iowa was going to eliminate the number one team Kansas in the second round?
This without a doubt has been a contest full of upset and surprises, something that is not as usual as you may think. The last great run was in 2006, when George Mason arrived to the semifinals of the NCAA tournament.
Back then the Patriots eliminated teams like Towson and Georgia State to then fall in the final four against Hofstra.
Many people have the misconception that the Cinderella stories appears every single year, but that´s not the real case, the best teams always win, that´s is why this season seem to be completely different from the rest.
