No no.16 seed has ever beat a no. 1, but in 1991 Murray State took Michigan State to the wire. The Racers, lead by Popeye Jones (Two time Ohio Valley Player of the Year, and future Dallas Maverick), lost in overtime 74-71 to the Spartans in one of the most exciting first round could be bracket-busters to date.
