On this day in 2005, Michigan State, pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, beating Duke in the regional semis in Austin. It was Tom Izzo's first ever victory over Coach K and Duke. Michigan State would advance to the elite eight to play the rival Kentucky. Also that night, North Carolina survived a scare from Villanova in Syracuse. I remember sitting at home that night with Rick, Dad and my friend, Brent.
On this day in 2006, LSU ( Louisana State University) defeated Texas in overtime and UCLA defeated Memphis 50-45, in a defensive struggle to advance to the 2006 Final Four in Indianapolis. It would be the first final four in 26 years without a #1 seed.
