MEAC Conference Champions Norfolk State University has won in an upset game against second-seeded Missouri.
Spartans Kyle O’Quinn led the team with 26 points and 14 rebounds, and made several huge plays in the closing minutes to help the team win, 86-84 on Friday in the West Regional.
“I can’t explain it right now,” O’Quinn said. “But at the beginning of the season I told the coaches the only way I could pay them back was with a championship, and I got that. And now this is overtime. I’m paying them back with overtime.” – USA Today
Norfolk State become the fifth No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 and the first since fellow conference member Hampton knocked off Iowa State in 2001.
