The first major upset of the 2023 NCAA men’s tournament happened Thursday when Furman beat Virginia.
That’s 13-seed Furman, to be exact.
The Southern Conference champions knocked off 4-seed UVA, causing absolute pandemonium just a couple games into the first round.
If you’re anything like me, the exciting finish after an unbelievable late turnover caused a loud noise to escape your body. Then, after you calmed yourself down enough to process what just happened, you asked yourself, “where the heck is Furman anyway?”
Thankfully, I looked it up for you. Furman is in Greenville, South Carolina. And the team’s mascot is a Paladin, in case you were wondering.
The more you know.
