Funniest Tweets About Illinois' Upset Loss Against Loyola Chicago
Loyola Chicago did it again, stunning the college basketball community and ruining brackets everywhere with their upset win over top-seeded Illinois in the second round of March Madness.
Three years after a similarly-shocking run to the Final Four, Loyola Chicago finds itself in the Sweet 16 thanks to a sterling performance by the mustached marauder Cameron Krutwig and the pregame blessing and scouting report of Sister Jean.
It was a shocking result over the Big Ten champions and the jokes were flowing on Twitter following the game. Here are some of our favorites celebrating the madness that is March.

Unfortunately Illinois, it's time to leave the island.
This is how you take out a No. 1 seed.
