For the first time in history, a 16-seed beat a 1-seed in the NCAA tournament. DID YOU HEAR ME?! A 16-SEED BEAT A 1-SEED.
IT FINALLY HAPPENED.
After 16-seeds previously went 0-135, the record stands at 1-135 thanks to those UMBC Golden Retrievers.
First of all, the UMBC account led the entire damn way
C'MON GUYS, you crashed our dang website, our IT people wanna watch the game too, please form an orderly line
