In case you missed it, No. 12 seed Ball State whipped two-time defending national champion Tennessee 71-55 on Sunday in the women's NCAA Tournament. Until Sunday, the Lady Vols were 42-0 in first- and second-round NCAA Tournament games.Mechelle Voepel's column
Not the biggest upset ever by any means....the Lady Vols were having their worst year in recent history. Albeit they were something like 22-11, but for them that is bad.Not a bad win though

RootforRoo,I attended the other "biggest upset" in 1997 I believe when #16 Harvard upset #1 ranked Stanford (the opener was Hawaii vs Arkansas), and I have to think that while Ball State's win wasn't as big a surprise (even given Stanford's injuries), or against as highly favored a team, that it was in fact a more historic victory for the Cardinals. This was Coach Pat Summit's TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS after all. Two time defending national champions, a program that had NEVER been defeated before the sweet sixteen. Holy crap! I was cheering with the BSU bench after every basket late in this one. I can't help feeling that MAC Pride :D I even believe, someday, our Lady Zips can have a chance to do what Bowling Green and Ball State have done by making history in the NCAA tourney (BG making the sweet sixteen two yrs ago).Good luck to the Cards in the second round. I believe they play Utah next.
