The Streaks have been snapped! Which was more impressive?


It's all over!

#1 seed (and widely considered the best team in the country) Virginia has been defeated by little-known UMBC, ending the most epic streak in sports. #16s had been defeated 135 times in a row until this evening.

But the real question is, how does this compare to the GameFAQs version of The Streak- the unbeatable Noble Nine going an amazing 124-0 since the birth of Character Battles back in 2002. Let's find out!

The #1s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Men%27s_Basketball_Tournament_upsets#16_vs._1

Close calls:
* Sixteenth-seeded Murray State took top seeded Michigan State to overtime in 1990, but eventually lost 7571
* Two 16-seeds have come within two points of upsetting a #1 seed, both in 1989. In the East Regional, Georgetown hung on to win 5049 against a Princeton squad who were 23 point underdogs. Princeton had the opportunity to win the game with the last shot, but Alonzo Mourning blocked the last two attempts to secure the victory. In the Southeast Regional, Oklahoma fought back from a 17-point first-half deficit to take the lead over East Tennessee State with 1:21 remaining. ETSU also had a chance at a last-second win, but Alvin West's shot from halfcourt was deflected and Oklahoma defeated ETSU 7271.
* In 1996, Western Carolina missed a three-pointer to win and a two-pointer to tie in the final seconds, losing 7371 to Purdue.

For comparisons sake, #15 seeds defeated #2s a full EIGHT times over this same stretch, including 4 times just in the last few years.
