Even Duke got way behind Siena (New York) but came back to win. High Point (NC) beat Wisconsin.

I grew up in Indiana when IU and Bobby Knight were powerhouses in college basketball (no longer). My best friend went to Indiana State when Larry Bird played there, and I remember watching the NCAA final game of Indiana State versus Michigan State.

The last several years, I've lost touch with who the powerhouses in College Basketball are, other than I know IU hasn't had a strong team in a long time. I'm unfamiliar with VCU and it's basketball program.

Their total record in the NCAA tournament is 14-19. All this despite not being in one of the "Power" conferences.
