Wow. That's all I can say. #1 Kansas, my pick to win the national championship, falls 69-67 to Northern Iowa last night in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Kansas becomes the first #1 seed to fall in the biggest upset in this year's tournament. Ali Farokhmanesh led the Panthers with 16 points, including a dagger three-pointer with 35 seconds left, to lift Northern Iowa to the Sweet Sixteen in St. Louis next week. "This team has done such a great job of turning the page to what's next, and this would be the biggest challenge of the year," Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson said. "A lot of positive things have happened because of the way these guys played. For Kansas, their season ends prematurely as many, including the President of U.S. had them winning it all on their brackets. But KU fell behind early and could never climb over the hill as senior guard Sheron Collins had just 10 points in his college career finale.
