By SDS Staff
Published:
March Madness is truly back as brackets everywhere have been busted on the first full day of the 2021 NCAA Tournament. 15-seed Oral Roberts has pulled off a massive upset, taking down 2-seed Ohio State 75-72 in overtime. Oral Roberts will face 7-seed Florida in Round 2 after the Gators took down 10-seed Virginia Tech, also in overtime.

Florida has a knack for drawing 15-seeds, it seems: https://t.co/sGjimnJoZO

Sports Twitter went wild over the major Round 1 upset:
I guess Ohio State was so afraid of taking another postseason loss to Florida that they just decided they’d rather let Oral Roberts do the honors instead ???

Biggest winner of Oral Roberts beating Ohio State (besides Oral Roberts, of course): Texas Tech and Arkansas.
The winner of Arkansas-Texas Tech will now play either Florida or Oral Roberts to go to the Elite Eight

Someone told me Saint Patrick’s Day was on March 17, but the #Gators have some serious four-leaf clovers up in Indianapolis.
Down goes No. 2 Ohio State! No excuses not to get out of the first weekend now.

I love hearing the rationale and analysis for how Oral Roberts beat Ohio State …
Gack. When you have more talent than the other team and every other possible massive school advantage, and you're a 2 seed playing a 15, that's a straight gack.
