In 2008, Tampa hosted the opening rounds of what can truly be called March Madness, as the site was dubbed Tampa Turmoil with four first-round upsets, two overtimes and a pair of buzzer-beaters.

No. 12 seed Western Kentucky started the day by stunning No. 5 seed Drake 101-99 in overtime. A fade-away jumper with 1.2 seconds left gave No. 13 seed San Diego the victory over No. 4 seed UConn. The second half of the day started with No. 13 seed Siena pushing past No. 4 seed Vanderbilt by 21 points and ended with No. 12 seed Villanova upsetting No. 5 seed Clemson.

The University of South Florida men's basketball team will not be allowed to play at this site.
