As you all know by now the #10 seed Minnesota Golden Gophers upset the #7 seed Louisville Cardinals 86-76 Thursday in the opening game of the NCAA Tournament. Minnesota now advances to play either #15 seed Bradley, or #2 seed Michigan State. (Pssst...it will be the Spartans). before we start diving into that matchup, let’s review the Gophers big win via the tweets of others. Some are funny, some are great snapshots into the action, but all will hopefully entertain!

Minnesota sets a program record with 11 made 3-pt FG in an NCAA Tournament game and gets its first NCAA Tourney win since 2013. Gabe Kalscheur also becomes just the 5th #Gophers player ever to record at least 24 points and 8 rebounds in an NCAA Tourney game. #MarchMadness
