LAKE TAHOE - It was March Madness on the South Shore today as about 200 people braved the frigid waters of Lake Tahoe, all in the spirit of raising money for Special Olympics.

The annual Polar Plunge was at Zephyr Cove Resort and the water was about 48 degrees when the crowds jumped in.

"Today's turnout was great!" said Harry Mong, Senior Director of Programs and Partnership for Special Olympics Northern Nevada. "$186,000 was raised and it goes to support our sports programs. There are 300 competitions in 11 different sports, and it is all free for the competitors."

South Tahoe High graduate Jerod Haase's University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) basketball team has the first upset of March Madness!

No. 14 seed UAB shocked No. 3 Iowa State, 60-59. ISU was considered by many people to be a potential sleeper to advance to the Final Four. Typically one of the most exciting and most efficient offensive teams in the country, ISU could not pull away as it missed easy shots near the rim and beyond the arc.
