On March 16, 2018, UMBC defeated Virginia, 74-54, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, becoming the first No. 16 seed to knock off a No. 1 seed in men's tournament history. And with the upset, PressBox's Sportsperson of the Year was set. This year, PressBox honors two Sportspersons of Year -- head coach Ryan Odom and guard Jairus Lyles.
Odom guided the Retrievers to a 25-11 record in his second year with the program. PressBox's Stan "The Fan" Charles and Glenn Clark sat down with Odom to talk about the upset, its impact and more.
