ESPN Columnist Picks 16-Seed Coastal Carolina to Beat 1-Seed Virginia

Pablo-Torre-16-seed-1-seed

As you probably already know — a 16-seed has never beaten a 1-seed in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. ESPN columnist Pablo Torre thinks this is the year it will get done (he also picked 16-seed Southern University to upset 1-seed Gonzaga last year).  Torre took to PTI to announce that Coastal Carolina was going to beat Virginia.

He explained his reasoning later on Twitter.

Everyone wants to be “The Guy” who finally picks the 16-seed upset, but this is just plain silly. Virginia is not losing to Coastal Carolina.
