CBB Fans Upset as Oakland's Cinderella Run Ends with NC State Loss in March Madness

It was fun while it lasted.

Just two days after No. 14 seed Oakland shocked the world with an upset victory over No. 3 seed Kentucky, the Golden Grizzlies had a chance to knock down another power conference opponent in the second round.

Oakland held a lead within the final minute and forced overtime against ACC Champion-NC State, but a late charge in overtime from the Wolfpack helped it claim a 79-73 victory.
