March Madness upsets: Tracking broken NCAA tournament brackets as TCU takes down Ohio State

Big upsets are arguably one of the most exciting parts of March Madness, despite the pain they might bring your already-busted bracket. As the NCAA tournament began in earnest on Thursday, the first game of the day, between No. 9 TCU and No. 8 Ohio State, did not disappoint.

We’ll break down all the major losses of the men’s tournament below:

No. 9 TCU 66, No. 8 Ohio State 64: This result might’ve seemed fated at halftime, when the Horned Frogs held a 15-point lead, but the Buckeyes stormed back in the second half to make the first game of the day everything you’d want to kick off March Madness. TCU’s Xavier Edmonds hit a shot at the rim with 4.3 seconds to go, and Ohio State wasn’t able to get a good look before time expired.

While it may not have been a true upset, TCU was a 2.5-point underdog and will be moving on to the round of 32 for the first time since 2023.
