The defending NCAA national champions are no more.
After a fairly tame day of NCAA Tournament games Saturday that saw higher seeds go 9-0 leading into the evening games, the Ohio Bobcats pulled off not just the biggest upset of the day but the entire Big Dance.
The 13th-seeded Ohio Bobcats pulled off a shocking 62-58 win over the 4th-seeded Virginia Cavaliers, who also won the last championship crowned in college hoops after last season’s NCAA Tournament was canceled.
After going down 38-31 in the second half vs. the Cavaliers, Ohio stormed back to take a 47-40 lead and never looked back en route to a 62-58 triumph over the defending champs.
