The No. 4 seed Butler University men’s basketball team beat No. 13 Winthrop University 76-64 in round one of the NCAA tournament. The Twittersphere had a hay-day celebrating Butler’s win, and even NFL Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy took time to congratulate the ‘Dawgs.
Break it down @ButlerMBB!

Huh. Who would’ve thought Butler would win the most “uncompetitive” game of the tourney thus far? They even beat the point spread! #GoDawgs
