In addition to pulling the NCAA tournament's biggest upset Friday night, Florida Gulf Coast also delivered its most jaw-dropping dunk.

With second-seeded Georgetown having trimmed a 19-point deficit to seven and still two minutes remaining, Florida Gulf Coast beat the Hoyas' full-court press and threw the ball ahead to Brett Comer in the frontcourt. Comer could have played it safe and milked the clock when two defenders converged on him, but instead he threw a lob that appeared destined to be a turnover until teammate Chase Fieler grabbed it out of the air with one hand and threw down an incredible alley-oop slam.

Florida Gulf Coast's 78-68 upset was the story of the night of course, but the dunk was certainly a worthy sidebar. In many ways, Comer's decision to go for the alley-oop was reminiscent of the Ali Farokhmanesh 3-pointer that helped Northern Iowa topple top-seeded Kansas three years ago because it inspired the same "No, no, no ... yes!" response from viewers watching it.

You won't hear Florida Gulf Coast coach Andy Enfield scold Comer for trying the lob pass, and not just because it worked in the Eagles' favor either.

Enfield demands his team plays fast-paced, high-scoring, aggressive basketball no matter if it's a January game in the Atlantic Sun or an NCAA tournament showdown with Georgetown. The Eagles stayed true to Enfield's approach throughout Friday's victory, and it worked in their favor.

Were there technically five seconds remaining on the clock when Florida Gulf Coast's Sherwood Brown started shaking the hands of the onsite CBS broadcasting crew?

Well, yes.

But youthful exuberance knows no bounds and the truth is FGCU's monumental 78-68 upset of second-seeded Georgetown on Friday night was almost complete. We'd tell Brown, who scored a game-high 24 points, to act like he's been there before. But the truth is, well, he hadn't. This was only the seventh time in NCAA tournament history that a No. 15 seed bet a No. 2 seed, so we'll give him a pass just this once.

Did you have a problem with Brown shaking hands before the game was over?

Hours after his team won the Atlantic Sun tournament to make the NCAA tournament in just its second year of eligibility, Florida Gulf Coast coach Andy Enfield weighed in on the seed he thought the Eagles deserved.

"I don't see how we're a 15 or 16 seed," he said. "I think we need to be higher than that based on the season we've had and the teams we've beaten."

Florida Gulf Coast received a No. 15 seed on Selection Sunday despite Enfield's protests, but the Eagles proved their coach's point five nights later. They became the seventh No. 15 seed ever to win an NCAA tournament game on Friday night, adding to Georgetown's recent history of March misery with a 78-68 opening-round upset.

Unlike last year's stunners by No. 15 seeds Lehigh and Norfolk State, this one didn't even really come down to the final possession. Behind 24 points from Atlantic Sun player of the year Sherwood Brown and 23 from fellow guard Bernard Thompson, Florida Gulf Coast extended a two-point halftime lead to as many as 19 points and never let the Hoyas any closer than four points down the stretch.

"I told our team before the game that Georgetown is ranked eighth in the country, but after you get out on the court for two or three minutes you're going to realize that you're just as good if not better than this team, and we did that," Enfield told reporters after the game.  "We didn't play great in the first half, but I think we realized, hey, if we play, we can win this game."

The historic upset by Florida Gulf Coast is merely the latest remarkable chapter in Enfield's charmed life story. The former elite shooter at Division III Johns Hopkins has enjoyed success as an entrepreneur, married a lingerie and bathing suit model and risen in his current industry from skill instructor, to NBA assistant to college head coach.

Building Florida Gulf Coast into a winner only two years into his tenure and only six years after it began its transition to Division I may be Enfield's greatest achievement. The Eagles lost 20 0r more games under predecessor Dave Balza each of their first four seasons in Division I, but Enfield led them to a respectable 15-17 record last season and to 24 wins in the regular season this year.

New Mexico's Alex Kirk reacts to the stunning upset. (Getty Images)When our team loses, there's heartbreak. Frustration. Agony. But we almost always come back, again and again, season after season.

But sometimes the pain is just too much. Sometimes, we just can't take any more. Such is the case for Dennis Latta, freelance writer for Rivals.com's Loboland and a 33-year veteran of the New Mexico beat. After Thursday night's stunning and, yes, humiliating loss to Harvard, Latta had had enough.

In his farewell column, Latta fires a shot across the bow — or, really, through the hull — of the New Mexico program: "I really thought that the University of New Mexico finally had a men's basketball team that earned the loyalty of their fans." He lists all the virtues of this year's New Mexico team — "real potential," accomplishments in both the regular season and the Mountain West Conference, strong players across the board — but then he undercuts each one of those plaudits with "I was wrong."

As Kansas State point guard Angel Rodriguez tried to drive baseline during the last possession of his team's NCAA tournament matchup with La Salle on Friday, Wildcats coach Bruce Weber already regretted not stopping the clock to draw up a final play.

A frantic Weber unsuccessfully tried to get the referees' attention to call timeout with about two seconds to go, a sure sign things weren't going as planned.

Rodriguez wanted to free himself via a Thomas Gipson screen to take game-tying shot, but they botched the timing of the play and the La Salle defender was able to get over the top with ease. Walled off from the rim and lacking any other option but to shoot, Rodriguez hoisted up a baseline prayer from behind the backboard that predictably failed to draw iron, condemning fourth-seeded Kansas State to a 63-61 upset loss to the 13th-seeded Explorers.

"All year we've just went and tried to make a play down the stretch," Weber said. "Once I saw it was bogged up, I tried to call timeout. I know it's tough on the officials because they're focusing on the game. I was sitting right with them. I looked at the clock at 2.2. I yelled it as loud as I could, but we didn't get the call. Sometimes things aren't meant to be."

Kansas State's setback was especially crushing because the Wildcats had to deliver a nearly perfect second half just to have a chance to win the game at all. They rallied from 18 points down at halftime behind superior interior play and relentless defense, holding La Salle to just three made field goals in the second half and to zero in the final 7:55.

If you don't already have an opinion on Marshall Henderson, the intensely polarizing guard from Ole Miss, you're about to. After nearly shooting his team out of the tournament and then shooting down Wisconsin, Henderson has found himself right in the middle of the spotlight ... which is pretty much what he's wanted all along.

The CBS crew, including Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, said after Ole Miss' upset win that they'd love to play with Henderson. Nice endorsement, that, but it was a tweet during the game itself that set Henderson off:

James was, of course, referring to the fact that Henderson was apparently permitted to shoot any time he was within two time zones of the goal. (He missed 12 of his first 13 shots, including going 0 for 6 from three-point range, before finding his stroke to finish with 19 points.) And how did Henderson react when

Maybe Marshall Henderson is getting exactly what he wants with his antics.

Whether he's pounding his chest after big shots, doing the rooster as he runs down court, shouting at fans, cutting short press conferences, posing for a picture in handcuffs with a police officer or telling us all how little he cares about what we think in interviews.

People can't stop talking about the Ole Miss guard. Even LeBron James took to Twitter today to share his thoughts on Henderson's performance in an NCAA tournament victory over Wisconsin.

The only thing worse than losing early in the NCAA tournament for Missouri would be losing at any time to long-time rival Kansas.

The Tigers managed to do both, sort of, Thursday night when they bowed out of March Madness early for the second straight year with an 84-72 loss to Colorado State.

The Rams' leading scorer in the game was Dorian Green, a senior guard who grew up in Lawrence, Kan., in the shadow of the University of Kansas. Green was a huge Jayhawks fan as a kid and never cared for the Tigers much for obvious reasons.
