UPDATE: Frogs O’ War 2023 NCAA Tournament Survivor Pool, March 17

The 2023 NCAA Tournament opened with a bang, immediately delivering Madness. While there were only four seed-line upsets, there was one last second stunner and one massive upset.

For the third consecutive Tournament, a 15-seed has toppled a 2-seed, as the Princeton Tigers eliminated Pac 12 Tournament Champion Arizona Wildcats 59-55 in Sacramento. Kerr Kriisa shot 1-7 from the field as the ‘Cats shot just 18% from beyond the arc. Eight of our entrants put their faith in Arizona and have now been knocked out of the pool.

The other major upset came with a stunning finish as the Virginia Cavaliers had very nearly sealed the game before the Furman Paladins trapped Kihei Clark in the corner. The veteran guard and 2019 Nation Champion made a decision that will haunt him, chucking the ball toward half court where the Paladins intercepted it, delivering a pass to Nashville-native JP Pegues, who delivered a shining moment.. eliminating UVA and nine members of our pool.

In total, the Tournament’s opening day knocked out 20% of the pool, with those putting trust in Boise State, Illinois, Texas A&M, Utah State, and West Virginia all eliminated.
