And their win exposes that Marquette's 5-seed was a stretch - probably should have been a 7. And yes, there were SIX other close calls, but the higher seeds managed to come out ahead in all of these! Stanford (2) was trailing New Mexico State (15) after 3 quarters, Miami (4) scored in the last seconds to beat Florida Gulf State (13) , Long Beach State (15) missed several chances to score a winning basket against Oregon State (2), Belmont (13) had a real chance to beat Kentucky (4), Missouri (6) beat South Florida (11) in the final seconds, and inexplicably, Penn(12) gave up a 21-point 4th Qtr lead and lost to Texas A&M (5). So few actual upsets, but many very close, exciting games. [/QUOTE]
