It wasn’t the same Villanova team, but nobody in america expected a second round exit to a team that was unfairly seeded low.
The 2017 NCAA tournament got its first big upset on Saturday afternoon, as No. 8 Wisconsin upset defending champion and No. 1 seed Villanova in the East Region on a late Nigel Hayes bucket.
Twitter drags the mighty when they fall, and Saturday was no different after the overall number one seed went down 65-62:
