The NCAA Tournament's Top 20 Upsets of All Time

This year March Madness is truly living up to its name.

ESPN had a stat on its website recently that showed how many people's bracket pool hopes had been smashed by Northern Iowa.

Also, if you look at the ESPN NCAA Tournament home page, you will see that every analyst picked Kansas to be in the Final Four.

I know personally my Midwest bracket is shot to hell, as I had Kansas and Georgetown making it to the Sweet 16.

Since this year has been full of upsets, let's take a look back at the top 20 upsets of all time.

No. 20: Bradley Bounces Kansas

2006: No. 13 Bradley 77, No. 4 Kansas 73

This will be the second straight year that Kansas is beaten in the first round.

No. 19: Northern Iowa Takes Down No. 1 Seed Kansas

2010: No. 9 No. Iowa 69, No. 1 Kansas 67

No. 1 overall seed Kansas wasted many opportunities and were left on the outside looking in during a year where many people thought they would hoist the trophy.

No. 18: Steve Nash Leads Santa Clara Over Arizona

1993: No. 15 Santa Clara 64, No. 2 Arizona 61

The 20-point underdog Santa Clara team survives a 25-0 run by an Arizona team that has four future NBA players.

2010: No. 14 Ohio 97, No. 3 Georgetown 83

The Hoyas are completely outplayed as Ohio stretches its lead to 17 points in the second half. The Hoyas are left to watch the minutes tick away in their season.

2006: No. 11 George Mason 65, No. 3 North Carolina 60

George Mason stuns the tournament field when it takes down the defending national champs and freshman star Tyler Hansbrough. It would only be the beginning for George Mason.

No. 15: Duke Dethrones the Rebels

1991: No. 2 Duke 79, No. 1 UNLV 77

The Runnin' Rebels' 45-game winning streak ends as the Blue Devils avenge the 30-point loss to UNLV in the '90 title game.

1966: Texas Western 72, Kentucky 65

This historical game featured the all-white squad of Kentucky versus the all-black starters of Texas Western, who handily defeated the Wildcats for the school's first NCAA basketball trophy.

No. 9: Bucknell Bounces Kansas

2005: No. 14 Bucknell 64, No. 3 Kansas 63

Kansas again gets bounced early in the tournament after having title hopes. They are done in by their terrible three-point shooting, 1-of-11.

1986: No. 11 LSU 59, No. 1 Kentucky 57

LSU beats SEC rival and powerhouse Kentucky en route to making the Final Four.

No. 7: Coppin State Stuns South Carolina

1997: No. 15 Coppin State 78, No. 2 South Carolina 65

Coppin State enters the game not only as a No. 15 seed but also as a 30-point underdog and playing without its best player, but they pull off the stunner over the Gamecocks.

No. 6: Hampton Sends Iowa State Home

2001: No. 15 Hampton 58, No. 2 Iowa State 57

1991: No. 15 Richmond 73, No. 2 Syracuse 69

The Spiders make history as they become the first No. 15 seed to ever beat a No. 2 seed. This feat has only happened four times since '85, when the tournament was expanded to 64 teams.

No. 4: Princeton Knocks Off UCLA

1996: No. 13 Princeton 43, No. 4 UCLA 41

Princeton beats UCLA on none other than a Princeton patented backdoor cut and ends the Bruins' title defense in the first round.

No. 3: George Mason's Run Continues

2006: No. 11 George Mason 86, No. 1 UConn 84 (OT)

The fourth and final upset of George Mason's magical run is over No. 1 UConn. George Mason stands tall in the face of the Huskies' size and talent and hangs on for a overtime win.

No. 2: N.C. State Knocks Off Houston

1983: No. 6 N.C. State 54, No. 1 Houston 52

No one thought the Wolfpack would even make it to the Elite Eight, let alone beat heavily favored Houston. A desperation heave is slammed home by Lorenzo Charles, and a championship trophy is delivered to Jimmy V.

No. 1: Villanova Plays a Near Perfect Second Half

1985: No. 8 Villanova 66, No. 1 Georgetown 64

The Wildcats never were ranked in the top 20 during this season and lost to the Hoyas twice, but shooting 78 percent in the second half and only missing one shot allows them to pull off one the greatest upsets in the history of sports.
