March Madness taking over Tampa

March Madness moved through Tampa on Sunday as the city hosted the men's second-round matchups. FOX 13's Danielle Zulkosky reports.

Tampa has not hosted the men's March Madness tournament in 15 years.

It was an exciting night for the city with basketball fans everywhere celebrating their wins and some walking away disappointed.

What we know:

Florida Gators fans were shocked when the team lost in a last second upset to the Iowa Hawkeyes.

It came down to a 3-point shot by Alvaro Folgueiras in the last ten seconds of the game for the Hawkeyes to win. The final score was 73-72.

What they're saying:

"It hurt it hurt. I wish he would have just took the shot," John Jones, a Gators fan said. "Take the shot baby. Put it up in the air. We go home on that."

Curtis Franklin, an Iowa fan, walked out of the arena nearly in shock with the results.

"I wasn't expecting Iowa to go, but they played a great game," Franklin said. "Hats off to Florida for coming back from ten points down in both halves. What a three point shot by (Alvaro) Folgueiras. What a shot."

"We had last year and I guess we got to look forward to next year," Jones said.

"It was David versus Goliath, and we won!" said Laron Johnson, an Iowa Fan.

The Other Game:

After getting a slightly late start, Alabama ran away with their game against Texas Tech.

The Crimson Tide won that game 90-65.
