The Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament got off to a wild start on Thursday. And the biggest upset of the tournament happened at the Chase Center as the No 1 seed and tournament favorites Gonzaga lost to number 4 seed Arkansas. Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was also in the building for the upset.

Gonzaga were the favorites to go through, but their journey came to an end as Arkansas held the Bulldogs in check and limited most of their key players to win. Arkansas will now face either Duke or Texas Tech in the Elite Eight. Curry who is out due to injury attended the game and did not travel with his team for a road trip, was in attendance as the Bulldogs got bounced out of the tournament. He was locked in as Arkansas pulled the upset of the year.

The Bulldogs were the favorites for two seasons in a row, but they have lost both times to a more physical team. Mark Few’s squad was undefeated last year, but they lost to Baylor in the finals to Baylor in the national title game. This was a golden opportunity to the NCAA title, but the Bulldogs blew it again and they will have to do it all over again next year.
