It’s been a hot minute since we pulled out the old chestnut, but with Marquette’s big win over Colorado to make it to the first Sweet 16 since 2013, it only made sense that we captured the best reactions from Twitter, for those who may have missed it.

These young boys play for each other with passion and spirit! The culture that Shaka and his staff have installed in such a short period is incredible. And it doesn’t hurt to have the best point guard in the country!

For the first time since 2011, Shaka Smart is going to the Sweet 16.
In year 3 at the helm of the Golden Eagles, Smart has put the program back to national prominence.
This dude has had to completely transform his game to be what Marquette needs him to be.

Biggest free throws of his life for a not-so-good free throw shooting team, and he had ice in his veins.
