Good on Loyola and their 98 year old nun guru.

Gonzaga can feel free to hit a free throw or 2....if they lose this game, you can pin it directly on that.

Does anyone honestly care about what Marcy Few thinks about this game? I sure don't. They showed her enough on Thursday, why do they have to keep doing it tonight?

What's the point of video review if they get it obviously wrong?

Well that was much closer than need be. But good job when it mattered.

On to 16...again!

Michigan was terrible all game. No movement on offense. No effort on the boards. Inefficient. Lazy defense. Should have lost.

Eric Barger bet $800 at The Venetian in Las Vegas that the Retrievers would beat the Cavaliers, even though No. 16 seeds had gone 0-for-135 against No. 1 seeds in the men's tournament.

"I go with my boys to Vegas every tournament, and we did pretty well on Thursday," Barger said. "Me and my buddy Dan went to UMBC, so we spent all day talking up how much we were going to bet."

After the win, Barger went to cash the ticket to the tune of a $16,000 profit. In typical Vegas style, Barger said each of the eight men took $200 and put that down on a single game of roulette. Their number hit for another $1,900, which was split again.

Great video associated with that story as well.

I was in Vegas last year at this time for the first 2 days of the tourney...it was a blast but way to hard on the system as games start at 9 AM local time and drinking that early really messes with a guy.

Officials with University of Maryland Baltimore County have had a busy couple of days since their Retrievers on Friday became the first No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

That included filing for a few trademarks on Saturday morning with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.

After their big win over Virginia, attorneys Jason Belzer and Darren Heitner pointed out to school officials that they didn't have "Retrievers" or "Retriever Nation" trademarked. They also filed to trademark "16 over 1."

In the 24 hours after the victory, the school bookstore's website sold two times the amount of gear it sold in the entire year.

Awesome stuff from Curry,...not even his alum!

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry supplied shoes and "swag" for the Retrievers that they will wear against Kansas State on Sunday, per the UMBC official Twitter account.

What a collapse by Cincinnati. South Regional is a complete mess.

This tournament has not been short on great games/storylines that's for sure.

That Cincy/Nevada game was bananas at the end.

If it weren't March, you'd be worried about a stroke with this tweet. But it is March, so...

This was a winable game for UMBC, just terrible from the free throw line and somehow scored 0 points off KState turnovers.
