See final seconds of UMBC's historic upset over UVA


The most unbelievable, the most unlikely upset in the history of the NCAA tournament happened Friday night when UMBC - that's University of Maryland, Baltimore County - took down the No. 1 overall seed Virginia. It was the first time a 16 seed ever beat a top seed, and it wasn't even close.

After first half that ended tied at 21, the Retrievers surged in the second half, climbing to an unexpectedly large double-digit lead and upsetting the Cavaliers, 74-54.

There was no last-second fouling for jaw-dropping buzzer-beater. This was a dominant win by a team that perhaps everyone - except the actual members of the team - assumed would fall to UVA.

Here are the final minutes of the historic upset Friday night.
