Where is Furman, the team that upset Virginia in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament?

The first major upset of the 2023 NCAA men’s tournament happened Thursday when Furman beat Virginia.

That’s 13-seed Furman, to be exact.

The Southern Conference champions knocked off 4-seed UVA, causing absolute pandemonium just a couple games into the first round.

If you’re anything like me, the exciting finish after an unbelievable late turnover caused a loud noise to escape your body. Then, after you calmed yourself down enough to process what just happened, you asked yourself, “where the heck is Furman anyway?”

Thankfully, I looked it up for you. Furman is in Greenville, South Carolina. And the team’s mascot is a Paladin, in case you were wondering.

The more you know.
