Top 10 Biggest Tourney Upsets of Decade

10. No. 10 Davidson over No. 2 Georgetown, second round, 2008

Stephen Curry wasn't yet a household name when he led Davidson to a wild, 74-70 win over a Hoyas team that was expected to contend for a second straight Final Four appearance. The Wildcats were down by as many as 17 points in the second half before Curry took over. He scored 25 of his 30 points after the break.

9. No. 7 West Virginia over No. 2 Wake Forest, second round, 2005

The Mountaineers would pull another 7/2 upset against an ACC team three years later, but it was the win over Chris Paul's Wake team in '05 that was the most surprising. A middling Big East team during the regular season, West Virginia figured to be too slow to keep up with the fast-paced Deacs. But led by Mike Gansey (19 points in the OTs) and Kevin Pittsnogle, WVU scored a thrilling 111-105 victory over Wake in double-overtime en route to the regional final.

8. No. 8 Alabama over No. 1 Stanford, second round, 2004

Stanford's 2004 is best remembered for the wild buzzer-beater against Arizona that led to a court-storming which included Tiger Woods, but the Cardinal couldn't do the same as a buzzer-beater against underdog Alabama fell short. It was the fifth time in six years that Stanford lost in the second round.

#7 is by far my favorite on the list. I remember calling that upset in all my brackets, and watching the swings the game took back and forth with each team making runs. That last 3 by Wallace (I think that was his name) had me jumping up and down like "OMFG! WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!?" haha

How about that Nevada team that upset Michigan State and Gonzaga? That team was fun to watch with Todd Okeson, Kirk Snyder, and Fazekas.

I have to agree with the list in that the George Mason run was a lot of fun to watch. But I think the one I enjoyed watching the most was Davidson and the hot shooting Stephen Curry. Curry was red hot in that tournament and was a joy to watch. I was routing for them to make it to the final four.
