With the entire sports world coming to a screeching halt due to the coronavirus outbreak, especially with the cancellation of the MEAC, SWAC and NCAA basketball tournaments, we are left asking a host of questions that begin with, “What if,” relating to our HBCU basketball programs.
This poll will close Tuesday (March 24) at 11:59 p.m.
However, in previous years there were four historical moments when HBCU teams became the darlings of the NCAA Division I basketball tournament by upsetting the basketball behemoths they faced.
Those four moments were:
In 1993, when No. 13 Southern upset No. 4 Georgia Tech, 93-78.
In 1997, when No. 15 Coppin State upset No. 2 South Carolina, 78-65.
In 2001 when No. 15 Hampton upset No. 2 Iowa State, 58-57.
In 2012 when No. 15 Norfolk State defeated No. 2 Missouri, 86-84.
Each event listed was unique and momentous in its own right, but which of the four games do you believe was the greatest upset of them all?
