Fans respond with anger, tears and alcohol after upset in second round of tournament

As the seconds ticked off the clock and the University of Northern Iowa completed its upset over Kansas in the second round, Zack Camacho said he was completely shocked.
"I expected to go to at least the Final Four"
Camacho said. "I was not expecting this."
Camacho, a senior from Independence, watched the game at his house with his girlfriend. After the loss, they had mixed reactions.
"She kind of just sat there, and I threw some stuff and punched the ground," Camacho said. "I was pretty fired up."
After the ground pounding stopped, Camacho said he and his buddies started to drink while trying to forget the outcome of the game.
All throughout Lawrence, people had different reactions to Kansas' loss, which promptly destroyed brackets across the country.
"Most of them left their tabs open and left their credit cards here," Aldredge said.
Andy Aldredge, a bartender at Quintins Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., said the bar was extremely busy with people watching the game. But after the game ended, about half of the bar stormed out.
Those who did decide to stay showed
plenty of emotion after seeing Kansas lose.
While Kieffer said he was disappointed about the early exit in the tournament, he said the previous success of Kansas has taken some of the sting away.
"Some of the girls started crying and a lot of the guys got pissed off and started drinking," Alldredge said. "I had one table ordering a round of seven shots every 15 minutes."
Brian Kieffer, a senior from Leawood, said he had a knot in his stomach and went directly home after the loss.
Garrett Petty, a sophomore from Topeka, made the trip to Oklahoma City, hoping to see Kansas make it to the Sweet 16 in person. No one in the student section knew how to react, he said.
bus on 1-35?" Petty said. "It was kind of like everybody is going home and the season is over."
"I was thinking about it today and I don't know how many teams that are still in it have won a title in the new millennium," Kieffer said. "2008 makes it a lot easier to stomach."
"As the final seconds were ticking off, it was just shocking," Petty said. "Everyone was just speechless with a blank look of disbelief on their face."
"It sunk in when we passed the team
An avid college basketball fan, Petty said he knew that Northern Iowa had a good team, but never thought it would compete with Kansas. He and his friends didn't get emotional about the loss until the drive home that night.
Kieffer said when he woke up the next day, he was already almost over it.
"This morning I was thinking about it and you start doing homework, and you've got more important things to worry about," Kieffer said.
