UMBC just filed a Patent for their upset victory over Virginia. "16 Over 1."
I'm pretty sure that can't be patented but it'll sell a hell of lot of t-shirts.

It sure will!
Maybe "copyright" is more appropriate?

Hope they slaughter Kansas then eventually get eliminated by UNC.
Doesn’t look like that’s going to happen today (UNC is getting killed by Texas A&M). Maybe Duke?

I never watch sports other than the Olympics, but when a NC basketball team from the Triangle (Duke, UNC, NC State) succeeds in the NCAA championship as it has MANY times in the past - 13 championships for those 3 schools so far (I graduated from NCSU the year we won the championship), we DO take it seriously. Basketball spoken here!
That's cause y'all suck at football. Just kidding. Roll Tide!

The Defending Champions, UNC are done. Defeated by Texas A&M. Score, 86-65. The worst defeat ever for Coach Roy Williams, in all of his NCAA Tournament Appearances. Duke is the only hope. Michigan State is history too. Villanova is hopeful?

Sigh. Worst percentage of field goal shots made I’ve seen in a long time - they couldn’t hit anything. Hope Duke does better.

Just. Watched UNC get their knickers ripped off by Texas A&M. 😠

For me, the best thing about the tournament is (are?) the upsets. Texas A&M is a good program in a good conference so this isn't on the same scale as UMBC but there are a lot of sad Tarheels out there who won't see a repeat.

They filed for Trademarks, according to ESPN Sports. With the intention to selling T-Shirts. Just as you stated.

Yesterday, a 16th Seeded Basketball Team, called UMBC (University of Maryland Baltimore County) defeated the overall #1 Seeded team, the University of Virginia, by 20 points. Score. 74-54. This first victory was the first of 135 attempts in the NCAA Tournament, by a 16th Seeded team playing a #1 Seed. UMBC plays 9th Seeded Kansas State on Sunday. That game will have high TV ratings. Can UMBC do it again?
NOPE!

I had hoped they would win at least one more game. That's all. As I said on page 2, they could not win the Championship. Besides, they got caught up in the short time celebrity status. The team said their cell phones were constantly ringing. Day and night. Not good. They still made history. 1 out of 136 attempted games belongs to them. Until?

The next game saw #9 beat #1 Xavier, in great game, go Noles
