Omaha, Nebraska is used to witnessing history. However it's usually from the College World Series. The city host college baseball best every spring. Friday #15 seed Norfolk St. defeated #2 seed Missouri in a West Region 2ND round game. Norfolk St. became the second MEAC team to pull the 15 vs. 2 upset. Back in 2001 Hampton defeated Iowa State. This is truly what March Madness is all about. Missouri never led by more than 4, while Norfolk St. biggest lead was 8 points. The last minute went back and fourth as the Tigers tried to save their season, however even with NFS turnovers and missed free throws, the MEAC Conference Champions were able to pull the game out 86-84. Their next opponent after knocking off Elite8/Final 4 predicted team from the Big 12, will be the Florida Gators. The Gators are from the SEC and the winner of Sunday game will earn a spot in the Sweet 16 next week.
