I don’t know how Twitter survived the weekend without crashing. Florida Gulf Coast had a weekend-long infomercial on national TV, becoming the first 15-seed in history to make the Sweet 16. Gonzaga set back mid-majors with a tough loss, and brackets all over the world are done, with teams like LaSalle making the round of 16. The Heat are still streaking, winning their 26th straight on Sunday. There was so much going on you couldn’t watch it all, but thanks to Twitter you were able to stay informed.
He never tones it down, ever.

That has to be painful.
Has any team lost more heartbreaking games than Iowa State this year? Aaron Craft with an incredible shot with 0.2 sec left.

Love how things change so quickly.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Aaron Craft…He almost costs them the game would have been the goat…now he's the GOAT!

While you’re in your early season slump, hopefully, he’ll do the heavy lifting.

His voice was awful all weekend.
Chuck can't handle the absurdity of an overlong NBA regular season. He thought he'd find meaning in this crapshoot, but now he's at sea.

Karma is a bad trip.

They really brought some joy to the weekend.
This FGCU team is so fun to watch. They play above the rim, shoot it from 3 & push the tempo. If Nephew Matt was playin SDSU would be killin

I can accept that as a good reason.
I asked Marshall Henderson why he flipped off the crowd: "someone yelled that my sister is a whore and said something about cocaine."

Who knew?
I knew it was a joke for Gonzaga to get a No. 1 seed over traditional powers like Florida Gulf Coast.

They didn’t play like an underdog.
Them boyz from aka Pakistan (Ft Myers) is balling Florida Gulf Coast University #Wow

They are the Bison and they’re pretty good.
FGCU lost twice to Lipscomb?!The Lipscomb Whoever The Hell They Are's must be incredible.

I’m not sure what they were thinking.
OK, forget it. If you don't foul Reggie Johnson, you don't deserve to win. Un-frickin-real.

It was exciting to watch.
Who would have thought a World Cup qualifier would be today's must-see sporting event? SNOWY SOCCER IN HD!

They did indeed have it.
That FGCU alley-oop was the most memorable "we got this" underdog moment since Ali Farokhmanesh's stop-and-pop three. LOVE March Madness.

It happens every day and twice on Sunday.
wonder how many have cried "goodbye cruel twitter verse!" Committed twittercide only to return after a good nights sleep & some perspective.
