A 16-seed had never beaten a 1-seed in the history of the NCAA tournament, until UMBC pulled off the seemingly impossibly by breaking that streak against Virginia on Friday night.
The Retrievers weren't just hanging with the Cavaliers, they dominated their opponent to the tune of a 20-point win.
So, what's the natural response when a team named the Retrievers makes history? Post your favorite dog GIF, of course.
