Tuesday night was a great way for sports bettors to be reminded just how crazy March is.
There were three massive underdog outright winners in college hoops. All three trailed in the second half, but they were able to rally and grab the victory.

Central Michigan (+1800) beat Toledo, 81-79
Not many people gave the 6-15 Chippewas a chance on Tuesday afternoon. They were hosting the top team in the MAC, Toledo, and were +1800 to pull the outright win.
It looked even worse for Central Mich at half when they went to the locker room down 10.
But then it all turned around. Led by Caleb Huffman's 26 points, the Chippewas pulled one of the biggest upsets of the season.
Milwaukee (+650) beat Wright State, 94-92
Wright State was the favorite to win the Horizon League tournament, but Milwaukee had other plans.
Despite having a win expectancy of 0.0% at one point in the game, per KenPom, the Panthers were able to storm back and force overtime against Wright State. Milwaukee trailed by 24 with 6:26 left in the game, and ended up taking home the two-point victory.
The biggest comeback of the year!
Fresno State (+750) beat Boise State, 67-64
This game was back-and-forth throughout. Fresno State had a double digit first half lead against Boise State, who needed the win to maintain their NCAA Tournament standing.
The Broncos came back and were able to build a nine point lead with under five minutes remaining. However, Boise was unable to get clean looks and Fresno was able to take the lead in the final two minutes and pull the big upset.
This was a crushing loss for Boise State, who was moved from the 'Last Four Byes' line to the First Four Out in Joe Lunardi's Wednesday bracketology.
