March Madness: Ranking the 9 Upsets From the First Weekend
Sindarius Thornwell and South Carolina shocked Duke in one of the opening week's biggest upsets. According to our numbers, where does it fall among the tourney's biggest upsets through the first weekend?

4. 8 Wisconsin 65, 1 Villanova 62

Wisconsin entered their second-round matchup with top overall seed Villanova with only a 27.34 percent win probability, but the entire game looked more evenly matched than that.

The Badgers jumped out to a 20-12 lead and flipped the script on the Wildcats early. Villanova then tied the game at 37 and lead by as much as seven with a little over five minutes to go, dropping Wisconsin's win probability to 8.42 percent.

However, after battling foul trouble for most of the game, Bronson Koenig came to the rescue, scoring 8 of the Badgers' last 14 points. Wisconsin closed the game on a 14-5 run to oust the top seeded 'Cats from the big dance.
