First-Round Madness
20. Drew Draws Up Stunner
<b>1998: Valpo 70, Ole Miss 69</b> A perfectly executed buzzer-beater by Bryce Drew made a winner of his father, coach Homer, as 13th-seeded Valparaiso put itself on the map by downing a top SEC team.
First-Round Madness
19. Stunned Stanford
<b>1989: Siena 80, Stanford 78</b> Long before he flopped in the NBA, Mike Montgomery (left) endured a disastrous debut in the NCAA Tournament. His<br>third-seeded Cardinal, led by Todd Lichti, were dropped. Should we be surprised that Siena's Saints could pull off this minor miracle?
First-Round Madness
18. Kelvin KO'd
<b>2001: Indiana St. 70, Oklahoma 68</b> Kelvin Sampson endured an embarrassing early ouster from the tourney long before he dialed up the end of his college career. Indiana State became known as more than Larry Bird's alma mater when it sent the fourth-seeded Sooners back home.
First-Round Madness
17. Mack's Moc Miracle
<b>1997: Tenn.-Chattanooga 73, Georgia 70</b> No. 14 seed Tennessee-Chattanooga, coached by Mack McCarthy (left), began its Cinderella dream by ending Tubby Smith's tenure at Georgia. The Mocs would reach the Sweet 16 before finally running out of miracles.
First-Round Madness
16. Quite a Show
<b>1999: Weber St. 76, UNC 74</b> North Carolina's mystique and hoops heritage were no match for one spectacular player. Harold "The Show" Arceneaux lived up to his nickname by pouring in 36 points, making himself a national sensation and dealing the Tar Heels their first opening-round loss in 19 years.
First-Round Madness
15. V Is for Vanquished
<b>1988: Murray State 78, North Carolina State 75</b> Despite his own improbable run to the '83 national championship, Jim Valvano was not immune to Cinderella's sting. No. 14 seed Murray State put a surprisingly swift end to the underachieving Wolfpack's season.
First-Round Madness
14. No More 'Nova
<b>1995: Old Dominion 89, Villanova 81</b> Few coaches have ever done so little with so much as Steve Lappas (left) at Villanova. The Wildcats, which featured stars like Kerry Kittles and Jason Lawson, lost a triple-OT classic to the Monarchs in the lowest of Lappas' many tourney low points.
First-Round Madness
13. No Lead Is Safe
<b>2006: Northwestern State 64, Iowa 63</b> Up by 17 with 8 1/2 minutes to play, the No. 3 seed Hawkeyes seemed like a sure bet to advance. The Demons had a different notion, however. They capped their unlikely comeback with a 3-pointer from the corner that was pure March magic.
First-Round Madness
12. 'Zona Gets Zapped
<b>1992: East Tennessee State 87, Arizona 80</b> Arizona had a history of flopping in March under Lute Olson (left). The '92 squad, which fell as a third seed under a barrage of Buc 3-pointers, was no exception. But this loss was nothing compared to what awaited the Cats in '93 ...
First-Round Madness
11. Phelps Flop
<b>1986: Arkansas-Little Rock 90, Notre Dame 83</b> Before irritating millions of ESPN viewers, Digger Phelps bugged Notre Dame fans with his teams' frequent March meltdowns. No loss was harder to swallow than the third-seeded Irish's fall to this hyphenated Cinderella.
First-Round Madness
10. Mizzou Misfires
<b>1990: Northern Iowa 74, Missouri 71</b> The Tigers didn't exactly rally around legendary coach Norm Stewart, who was sidelined while fighting cancer. The third-seeded powerhouse was sunk on a late 3-pointer by a school best known for producing Kurt Warner.
First-Round Madness
9. Austin Power
<b>1987: Austin Peay 68, Illinois 67</b> Having future first-round picks Ken Norman, Kendall Gill and Nick Anderson (left) did Illinois little good as the 3 seed was bounced by a school with a funny name (Austin Peay was a former governor of Tennessee, by the way).
First-Round Madness
8. Coppin a Steal
<b>1997: Coppin State 78, South Carolina 65</b> Coppin State coach Fang Mitchell sank his teeth into an SEC heavyweight for an opening-round shocker. The Eagles, a 30-point underdog, became just the third No. 15 seed to win when they sent South Carolina home.
First-Round Madness
7. The Mouse That Roared
<b>1986: Cleveland State 83, Indiana 79</b> One year before he won his last national title, Bob Knight was done in by a rodent. Ken "Mouse" McFadden led a frenetic attack that ran the Hoosiers ragged and eventually carried the 14th-seeded Vikings to the Sweet 16.
First-Round Madness
6. A Ver-monster Win
<b>2005: Vermont 60, Syracuse 57</b> Vermont coach Tom Brennan got a great going-away present at the expense of a Big East power. The 13th-seeded Catamounts edged the Orange in OT for Brennan, who had already announced that he was retiring.
First-Round Madness
5. Bucking the Odds
<b>2005: Bucknell 64, Kansas 63</b> With a borrowed band and no March pedigree, Bucknell did the impossible. The Bison edged No. 3 seed Kansas on Chris McNaughton's clutch hook shot for the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament victory.
First-Round Madness
4. Pirates Plunder
<b>2001: Hampton 58, Iowa St. 57</b> When's the last time a No. 15 seed won a game? That would be in '01, when Steve Merfeld (left) brought the Pirates to Boise and emerged with a last-second comeback victory over Jamaal Tinsley and the Cyclones.
First-Round Madness
3. Stevie Wonder
<b>1993: Santa Clara 64, Arizona 61</b> Long before he became an MVP-winning matinee idol, Steve Nash was a no-name freshman who helped the Broncos become the second No. 15 seed to win when they gave the Wildcats their second straight upsetting tourney.
First-Round Madness
2. Backdoor Win
<b>1996: Princeton 43, UCLA 41</b> Pete Carril went from Yoda-like figure to national sensation when his plucky band of Tigers took the defending champs to old school with their archaic attack, including the winning hoop on a perfect backdoor play.
First-Round Madness
1. A Tangled Web
<b>1991: Richmond 73, Syracuse 69</b> Long before he was victimized by Vermont, Jim Boeheim endured the mother of all first-round flameouts. All-American Billy Owens was powerless to stop the Spiders from becoming the first No. 15 seed to win an NCAA Tournament game.
