The Original 15-2 Upset, Richmond Over Syracuse
03/18/2016 | Men's Basketball
25 years ago, Richmond became the first basketball program to ever upset a 2-seed in the NCAA Tournament. The 15th-seeded Spiders, under head coach Dick Tarrant, knocked Syracuse in Cole Field House.
Since then, seven teams have pulled the feat, including Middle Tennessee on Friday night over Michigan State.
Watch below as members of that 1991 team recall Richmond's national moment.
