Middle Tennessee State pulled the biggest upset of the NCAA tournament (so far) Friday, bouncing the Big Ten tournament champions Michigan State in the first round. The Spartans were a co-favorite to win the national championship along with Kansas, but the Blue Raiders busted millions of brackets with a 90-81 win.

Meanwhile, in Des Moines, the Indiana Hoosiers were watching the game in the locker room watching their Big Ten rivals struggle and could not contain their glee.

Asked Max Bielfeldt who he roots for in this situation and he said it's hard not to pull for the underdog. Spartans going down. #iubb
