Let's take a stroll down memory lane and discuss some of the wildest upsets over the last few seasons! In Part 1 of this two-part episode, and in honor of March Madness, we unveil our Upset Bracket, pitting the biggest stunners from 2024 and 2021 against each other.

Which upsets should be in our Final Four?
