76% Informative
Using our NCAA Tournament database, we were able to find the 10 biggest underdogs to win a tournament game since 1985 .
Every team on the list was at least a 15 -point underdog in their matchup, while some were as high as 20+ point dogs despite winning outright.
UMBC became the first 16 -seed to take down a 1 -seed in NCAA Tournament history (since expansion in 1985 ) The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights did the unthinkable— taking down a 29 -5 Purdue team after barely making the tournament as a First Four participant.
Norfolk State took down Missouri despite being 21.5 -point underdogs in 2012 .
The 2018 edition of the tournament was the first one ever to see each of the top four seeds in a single region not make the Sweet 16.
