Duke Lost, But Don't Forget Virginia Commonwealth

There was only one upset yesterday (I don't consider a 9 beating an 8 an upset), but the winner, Virginia Commonwealth, isn't actually getting much attention on the internets. Instead, everyone is talking about the team VCU beat. As recounted by Joe Sports Fan, here are the headlines at various sports web sites last night:

Out-Duked" – Sportsline
"Duke Done Early" – ESPN
"Duke who? It's VCU!" – ESPN (one hour later)
"Coach K-Od" – FoxSports
"Feeling Blue" – MSNBC
"Silenced by the Rams" – SI
"VCU shuffles past Duke, springs first round surprise" - USA Today
"Blue be-Deviled" - Yahoo Sports
"VCU Later" - TSN

Even the headlines that seem to focus on the Cinderella Rams are really focusing on Duke ("VCU Later" is telling Duke, "See you later." Get it?) So as we get ready for VCU-Pittsburgh, let's remember the Rams. They're not this year's George Mason, but they are this year's Virginia Commonwealth. And that's pretty good.
