The historic UMBC win, a 16 over a 1 seed, is a first for the MEN'S dance, not the NCAA! The women did it long ago, Harvard over Stanford. The bias against women's sports is showing a lot now. Too bad. Both wins are historic and the women were first!
University of Maryland, Baltimore County - or UMBC - made history Friday night when it stunningly upset Virginia, becoming the first No. 16 seed to take down a No. 1.But this new mark in the college hoops history books actually comes with an asterisk: The Retrievers are the first men's team to do it. But two decades ago, Harvard's women's basketball team became the first men's or women's team to accomplish the unlikely feat, when it knocked off Stanford.So when UMBC pulled off the unexpected upset over the Cavaliers, Harvard offered its congratulations in the best way possible.
