Davidson beating the Tar Heels in the 5th inning 6-0. Wonder if UNC saved their number one pitcher? They threw their ace, J.B. Bukauskas.

By my count, at least one 4 seed has beaten a 1 seed in the opening game of a Regional in each of the past seven NCAA Tournaments. Often times, there were multiple wins by the 4 seed. However, it's worth noting, there are 16 1 seeds and 16 4 seeds, so it's possible for the lowest seeded 1 seed (16th best team in the tournament) to be paired with the highest 4 seed (49th best team), which makes for a much more reasonable upset. I'd be interested to know if there has ever been an upset as quite as big as we'll see tonight with HC beating Oregon State. My brief research tells me Texas Southern over Rice in 2004. BTW, when Bucknell beat FSU in 2008, FSU was the No. 4 national seed.
2016: Utah over Ole Miss, Xavier over Vanderbilt, URI over South Carolina
2015: San Diego St over UCSB, VCU over Dallas Baptist
2014: Georgia Southern over Florida State, C of C over Florida, Jackson St over Louisiana Lafayette
2013: UConn over VA Tech
2012: Stony Brook over Miami, Oral Roberts over Baylor
2011: San Francisco over UCLA, Austin Peay over Georgia Tech
2010: Minnesota over Cal State Fullerton

I expect around 1:30 tomorrow morning to hear an announcer say, " In one of the biggest upsets, maybe the biggest, in NCAA Division 1 Baseball history, four seed Holy Cross has knocked off one seed Oregon State......"
Why not our guys?

4 seed Tennessee Tech upsets Florida State...although, that's a pretty darn good Tech team (40-19 with an RPI of 92 entering today).

Texas Southern was 19-33 that season, and they had started the season 1-16 vs ooc competition. I don't think Rice was as good as the FSU team Bucknell beat, but I think Texas Southern was worse than Bucknell - making it possibly a bigger upset. Florida State in 2008, btw, was ranked 2nd in the nation, and the ACC had the top three teams nationally at the start of the tournament.

And not a real strong Florida State team - ranked 16th or 17th in the polls. Would not have been one of the 16 one seeds had they not had such a good run in the ACC tournament.
