And just like that, we’ve got our first bracket buster. Furman University, a 13-seed that hasn’t been to the NCAA tournament in 43 years, pulled off a massive upset against the fourth-seed University of Virginia on Thursday, turning a last-second turnover into a three-point shot for the lead with 2.2 seconds left in the game. The Greenville, South Carolina university’s basketball team will advance to the second round of the South region, facing the winner of Thursday evening’s matchup between San Diego State University and the College of Charleston. Watch that bracket-busting play below.
