Florida Gulf Coast is this year's mid-major darling. The Eagles have upended the tournament, ruined your bracket, and sent Georgetown and San Diego State packing.

Two Residents Of Dunk City Explain How Their Georgetown-Shattering Alley-Oop Came To Be

Dufnering Is Now A Thing, Thanks To A Gaggle Of Silly Pro Golfers
Yesterday we posted a photo of golfer Jason Dufner visiting a community center and looking supremely downtrodden. Today, golfers all across the land are razzing Dufner, who's been chipper enough about the whole thing, by mimicking his pose. Dufnering! It's a thing! Bubba Watson, who Dufnered in the ...
