Twitter Reacts to UMBC's Insane Win Over No. 1 Virginia

Twitter lost its mind.

Twitter lost its mind when No. 16 UMBC beat No. 1 Virginia 74–54 on Friday night.

The two teams were tied at the half and the Retrievers broke away during the second half. 

No No. 16 seed has ever beat a No. 1 seed in the men's tournament.

Here are some of the best reactions to the historic win. 

PUT SOME RESPECK ON IT! WE HAVE DEFEATED NO.1 OVERALL SEED VIRGINIA 74-54

Biggest upset in tournament history was in 2012 when Norfolk St beat Missouri as 21.5 point underdogs. Virginia was -22.5 against UMBC tonight.
