#16 d. #1
It's happened once. In 1998, #16 Harvard took out #1 Stanford.
I'm wondering if anyone thinks there's a chance of it happening today, particularly with #1 Notre Dame....

Or CCU beating Wisconsin? It won't happen but I wouldn't be upset if it did.

We're it not for Kelly Olnyk and his 21 pts Southern would have joined Harvard in '13 playing vs Gonzaga.

Re: #16 d. #1
Last year I filled out a bracket on ESPN just for fun and I picked chalk the whole way through... I almost won the damn thing. Looks like there were only 6 "upsets" in the first round this year, none higher than an 11 seed.

One of their top players just went to Russia to get $1.5 million when she was making about $100,000 (about league max) in the WNBA. Apparently, the coaches make $250,000 in the WNBA.

Not disagreeing at all. Is the Russian league really that good though that they can pay these amounts or do they get nice subsidies too?

Look at professional salaries all over Europe. None of them match the NBA/NFL/MLB (outside of the pro soccer leagues) but they are all extremely high. Most pro basketball players in Europe make way more than they would in the NBADL or as a last man on the bench at the NBA minimum. Many teams pay the taxes on their salaries as well so they end up getting 100% of their quoted salar
