Biggest First-Round Tourney Upsets
No. 13 Vermont 60
No. 4 Syracuse 57
2005
Led by their wisecracking, radio-show-hosting coach, Tom Brennan, and star forward Taylor Coppenrath, the No. 13 seed Catamounts knocked out fourth-seeded Syracuse, which was just two years removed from a national title. Senior guard T.J. Sorrentine swished a long three-pointer to boost Vermont's lead to four with just over a minute left in overtime. Syracuse's Gerry McNamara missed a desperation three with under a second remaining, and the Catamounts prevailed.
