If the miracle happens and PSU beats Kansas (ha ha), they wouldn't be the first. The first men's team but not the first.
Harvard over Stanford! No less improbable.
No. 16 Harvard over No. 1 Stanford still resonates 10 years later

STANFORD, Calif. (AP)—Whether it’s in a bar, a job interview, or just walking
down the street, the reaction is similar for members of the 1998 Harvard women’s
basketball team. Just the mention of being a former Crimson basketball player
inevitably leads to this question: “Were you on THAT team?”
As many fans filling out their tournament brackets this week know, a No. 16
seed just doesn’t have much of a chance at beating a No. 1.
That matchup has happened 148 times in either the men’s or women’s
tournament, and the 1998 Harvard team remains the only one to pull that most
improbable feat, beating Stanford 71-67 at Maples Pavilion in a game that still
resonates for members of both teams 10 years later.
