Random Man on Twitter Actually Predicted Stephen F. Austin Would Defeat Duke on a Buzzer-Beater
By Ian Anderson
Could anyone call this man up and ask for next week's lottery numbers, pretty please?
This Stephen F. Austin student predicted that the Lumberjacks would upset the No. 1 ranked Duke Blue Devils on a buzzer beater well before the start of Tuesday night's game ... and it came true.
SFA v. Duke tonight. I'm calling it SFA wins on buzzer beater finish. Hammer it and bet the house @tyschmit

If Logan O'Connor had bet his house, like he said in this tweet, he would never need to work again as the Lumberjacks had 85-1 odds to upset the Blue Devils. Stephen F. Austin were also the underdogs by 27.5 points, making it the largest upset by a Division I team in 15 years.
Calling this upset, let alone adding in the buzzer-beating aspect of it, is nothing short of incredible.
The college basketball season isn't even a month old, and the AP No. 1 team has already lost 3 times:

So far all three teams that have been ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll have lost this season, which means that we could be in for the most chaotic March Madness yet, and that's saying something.
A few years ago was the first time in the tournament's history that a No. 1 seed lost to a No. 16 seed, and we could very well see another upset of the century this coming March.
