UAB shocked much of the basketball world when they beat Iowa State in a 14-3 upset on the first day of the NCAA tournament.

Among the fans cheering the Blazers on were athletes who are just as susceptible to March Madness as the rest of us.

Not everyone was happy though, as many a bracket was busted by the upstart blazers taking down the favored Cyclones so early.

Only a few hours into March Madness and everyone is already fully locked into the tourney's emotional roller coaster.
