UNLV could be the only surprise in the NCAA Tourney

The first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is now in the books, this year hasn't had quite the upsets, in fact the lowest seed this year to make the Sweet 16 is #7 UNLV.

No one could have expected the Rebels to still be alive, including us who had Georgia Tech beating them in the first round, except UNLV. Even if you had them advancing past day one, the chances that your bracket had UNLV getting past the Badgers were slim to none, if so we want to see it. They hadn't won an NCAA tournament game before Friday since 1991 and hadn't been to the Big Dance since 2000.

It might not be surprising if they get to the Elite Eight either. They play Oregon next, who has faced #14 Miami (OH), and #11 Winthrop, neither of which games were close. So far this would be Oregon's toughest game in this years' tourney and if UNLV can keep it close towards the end it ought to be interesting to see if the untested Ducks' will fold.
