Listen Later

March 16, 2018. A number 16 seed had never beaten a number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament -- that is, until this game. Top seeded Virginia matched up against UMBC in the opening round at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The scrappy Retrievers tied the Cavaliers 21-21 at halftime and then pulled away by scoring 53 points in the second half against one of the best defenses in college basketball.

Patrick Guthrie and Zach Wilt rewatch the full game broadcast and dive into how UMBC pulled off the biggest upset in the history of the tournament.
