One of the best parts of the 21st Century is the shared experience of live television events on Twitter. Everyone’s watching the same thing all at once, no one had any idea what will happen next, jokes are firing fast and furious, and it’s easy to share the best comments you see with your friends.
With that in mind, we just had to assemble the best of Twitter as the NCAA tournament field was announced with Marquette Golden Eagles returning after three years away.

Big bracket winners are Greenville, SC bar owners who get Marquette fans in town for St. Patrick's Day.

Bracket buster.@MarquetteMBB is headed to the big dance.

Luke Fischer says this is the most excited he's been to get back to practice. He's not the only #mubb player to express that sentiment.

Wojo hinted at possibly having a few extra non-Marquette fans in Greenville rooting for #mubb. Duke, his alma mater, plays right before MU.
— Matt Velazquez (@Matt_Velazquez) March 13, 2017
Wojo hoping for big MU contingent plus, "I would think we'll have some fans outside of the Marquette fans there hopefully supporting us." https://t.co/EEYV4vBX8X

#mubb fans, @steve_wojo is one win away from having the best winning percentage in NCAA Tournament history.
