After consecutive games in which the 26-seed Duquesne took the 7-seed Rutgers to overtime and the 25-seed Louisville 1968 stunned 8-seed UNC 1972, it seemed 24-seed 2024 Cinderella NC State might be next for a Value Add Basketball Game upset as well.
However Kevin Love (21 points, 7 rebounds), Darren Collison (15, 5) and Russell Westbrook (also 15,5) would not be surprised like Marquette and Duke were in last year's Sweet 16 and Elite 8 by the Wolfpac and big guy DJ Burns.
Not only does the #9 seed UCLA 2008 advance in the impressive 84-67 win, but they get to play the first big surprise Sweet 16 team in Wes Unseld's Louisville team. Here are the updated all-time top 10 in our game.
On our all-time ratings and game tracker UCLAs impressive win moves them up to 33rd all time with a +5.4, while NC State drops to 181st all time with a -7.8 rating. The rating indicates how many points better or worse than the average great team in the game has played (like www.kenpom.com).
