Created on March 20, 2026 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: 0.0 out of 124 (0%) | Quiz FAQ

The 2026 NCAA Tournament got off to an upset-minded start, with two 11-seeds (Texas and VCU) and a 12-seed in the High Point Panthers advancing to the Round of 32 on the first day of the event. The three 11-or-higher seeds that won on Thursday tied the total amount from the entire 2025 Tournament.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the 11-over-6 or greater upsets in the Round of 64 of March Madness since 2000 can you name in 12 minutes

Good luck!
