Kudos for including 40-point underdog Stanford's win over USC, and for remembering the Reds' stunning 4-game sweep of the mighty A's.

Surprised not to see Chaminade's win over Ralph Sampson and #1 Virginia, or Cameroon's win over Argentina in the 1990 World Cup.

NOT surprised to not see Duke's 1991 semifinal win over previously-undefeated & defending National Champ UNLV. It was a stunning upset, IMO, as UNLV had defeated Duke in the previous year's Finals by 30 points, and up until that point, Duke hadn't won anything yet. UNLV was expected to take Duke out behind the woodshed again.
