Coming into the NCAA Tournament, the South Region was labelled as the “region of death” by some.

UMBC completed their historic take down of the Virginia Cavaliers tonight, controlling the game from the start of the second half on. This coming on the heels of Buffalo’s dominant win over the Arizona Wildcats just one night before.
