Cricket Highlights: Asia Cup 2025 Takes Off

College Basketball Shockers: UMBC Beats Virginia

Switching courts, the NCAA tournament delivered one of the biggest upsets ever. UMBC, a 16‑seed, took down 1‑seed Virginia in a game that left everyone talking. The key? A fast‑paced offense, aggressive defense, and sharp three‑point shooting. Jairus Lyles led the charge with 28 points, keeping Virginia’s famed defense on its heels.

The win cracked the myth that a 16‑seed can’t beat a 1‑seed. It also shook bracket‑pickers everywhere – many saw their perfect picks go up in smoke. If you love basketball drama, this game is the gold standard for “anything can happen.”
