At 25, is the KSU umbc match up the highest combined seed matchup ever?  It has to be right?  I guess if we count the first four matchup than no.

I mean I don't think we should count them if you ask me.  It's artificial.

Any time there are two upsets in the same pod in the first round, the 2nd round matchup combined seed = 25

There have been eleven 12 vs 13 games and five 11 vs 14 seed games.

It’s never happened to me but I hope I handle it with the same grace and poise that you have today.

Chings is like a kid doing something pretty unremarkable and then speculating what the headline about it would be in tomorrow's paper. Pretty adorable stuff

LOCAL KID CATCHES FISH IN NEIGHBORHOOD POND, DOES RIGHT THING AND THROWS IT BACK

Local 3rd grader chingnon was fishing in a pond behind his house. He knew the odds were stacked against him. It was kinda cold, all his friends decided to stay in and play super NES, but chingnon wasn't deterred. After an hour and a half without even a nibble, he started to lose hope. He set his pole on the bank and placed a rock on it to keep it in place while he went to take a pee. Just then, the bobber went under. Chingnon raced back to his pole just seconds before it got pulled into the pond and would have gotten him grounded for at least a week with no tv. His battle with the fish had to have lasted for "1, maybe 2 minutes" but he took a deep breath, remembered his training, and set the hook before reeling in the monster.
According to the youngster, it was "definitely the biggest bass I've ever caught" but then, his true heroism shined through. Instead of keeping his trophy, he removed the hook and tearfully released it back into the pond. "It was the right thing to do. I...I just had to".
Upon completion of 3rd grade, chingnon says he is excited to go to overnight camp for this first time this summer, and is confident he won't need to call his parents in the middle of the night because he's homesick.
