What was the first top seed in men’s college basketball to lose to a 16 seed in the first round?
Answer Virginia
The greatest first round upset in men’s tournament history happened when UVA lost to UMBC, which are four letters you don’t see together a lot in sports trivia. That’s the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Virginia bounced back the next year to win the whole thing.
