March Madness: Ranking the 9 Upsets From the First Weekend
Sindarius Thornwell and South Carolina shocked Duke in one of the opening week's biggest upsets. According to our numbers, where does it fall among the tourney's biggest upsets through the first weekend?

8. 11 Rhode Island 84, 6 Creighton 72

Rhode Island's upset of Creighton Friday was another seed upset with the Rams as an 11 seed, but our win probability gave Rhode Island a 59.78 percent chance of winning the game.

Rhode Island backed that up by leading wire to wire in a game that was not really close at all in the second half. The Bluejays closed the lead to one at 21-20 midway through the first half, but Creighton never took the lead and never got that close again.
