Over coming the odds

This week the NCAA basketball tournament started and of course there is always some big upsets. On Friday Wake Forest ranked number four lost to a team ranked 13. This was a huge win for Cleveland State. There is an article on this win in the Star Tribune. It was written by Associated Press. Cleveland State or the Vikings have upset teams in the past. "Cleveland State's only other apperance in the tournament upset Indiana and Bob Knight in the first round. This happened in the year 1986." (Star Tribune c14). With that being there first apperance and this 84-69 win over Wake Forest being the second Cleveland has shown how to over come odds. "Cleveland State got out to an early 17 point lead and was able to keep it that way pretty much to the finish" (Star Tribune c14). How far will this under-dog team go? No one really knows besides they weren't supposed to win in the first place.
