Day 5 of March: Hampton Takes Down Iowa St

There's nothing quite like a huge upset in March, and considering no 16 seed has ever won (yet) this is as close as its gotten. There's also nothing quite like the way a neutral crowd jumps all over a massive underdog once they begin to smell an upset. You've probably never seen so many Hampton Pirates fans in Boise, Idaho. And when Senior forward Tarvis (that's not a typo) Williams hit the go ahead bucket late in the game, the Boisians all went nuts. Almost as nuts as Steve Merfield, the Hampton coach, that is. You gotta love the coaches who get just as excited as the players in these big games. Finally, while we're talking about my favorite things about March, why can't they go back to playing on the real floors instead of the stupid generic NCAA ones. The orange and blue is so much cooler than the plain, dull courts they play on now. Anyway, this is one of the best parts of March Madness - rallying around some school you probably have never heard of as they take on a Goliath. Sure, they'd probably lose 99 out of 100 times, but every game has the chance of being that 1%. That's what makes this the best time of the year.
