danman31 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Virginia=UConn for the sake of this argument. George Mason is a division 1 team that got an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. Chaminade isn't even D1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I agree with your reasons, but I'd like to throw out a couple more... -That Virginia team was a lot more dominant than this UConn team. They had just taken down a couple of really good teams (pretty sure they torched Phi-Slamma-Jamma), while this UConn team sleep-walked through the season. -This George Mason team is a lot better than that Chaminade team. George Mason was one of the best mid-major teams all year, and already had several good wins under their belt. You may be able to argue that it's the biggest upset in tournament history, but I wouldn't even say that because this UConn team doesn't have the same level of hype that some of these other teams had, like 84 Georgetown or 83 Houston. Hell, I'd still say that Rhode Island beating Kansas a couple of years ago was bigger because everyone thought that team was going to roll through the bracket.

IlliniKrush Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 And GM already beat MSU, UNC...they proved they are a pretty formidable team. I mean they don't have the greatest talent in the world, but they aren't doing it with completely smoke and mirrors. I wasn't as shocked as i thought i would be when GM won. That team can play. Not the biggest upset, i agree with you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 In terms of individual game, the Chaminade upset is bigger and it's not even close. If you are asking what's the bigger upset between Chaminade over Virginia and George Mason beating Wichita State, UNC, MSU, and UConn....they you have a debate. But i'd still say Chaminade, Virginia was much more dominant than any team George Mason beat, and Chaminade wasn't/isn't even D1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 A friend and I were talking about obscure sports facts every guy should know....if you had fifty, we both thought Chaminade shoulda been one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
