Middle Tennessee upsets Michigan State in March Madness: Twitter reacts
By David Rouben
After Michigan State got upset by Middle Tennessee, Twitter lost their collective minds.
Middle Tennessee just became the eighth 15-seed to upset a 2-seed in the history of March Madness, and the last one since Florida Gulf Coast in 2013. It is by far the biggest upset of the tournament so far as both they and Kansas were the two most popular picks to win the whole thing. Not to mention the Spartans had one of the best players in the country in Denzel Valentine.
However, they didn’t hold a lead once against Middle Tennessee.
Of course, better than the game itself might have been the reactions on Twitter, as everybody damn near lost their minds.

97% to Advance today
91% to Sweet 16

Uh oh.
At least Michigan State didn't also lose the college football playoff game 0-38 this year.

That would be embarrassing.

By far the happiest person over this result is Jim Boeheim, as his Syracuse team will now face Middle Tennessee instead of Michigan State. This game is just another reminder that anything can happen during March, and that this tournament might be the best in all of sports.
