Arkansas-Little Rock moves on to the next round after stunning -9 point favorite Purdue Thursday night.
The Trojans were instilled as a 1000-1 long shot to win this year’s Championship game. This is a team that went from winning just 13 games last season to 29 this year, the largest improvement in the country. They also yielded the third-fewest points per game in the nation.
Little Rock had to take their 1st round game into double overtime to walk away with the 85-83 victory.
Earlier in the day, Yale, a team that had not made an appearance in the Tournament for over 50 years, managed to knock of mighty Baylor.
