The Maryland Baltimore County Retrievers, America's Sweet 16 seed, were nearly best in show once more Sunday in the NCAA men's tournament's second round.
Jairus Lyles tapped his chest after airballing a desperation three-point shot as the Retrievers' comeback hopes fizzled in the South Regional. The gesture was symbolic of a player whose team had already touched a nation.
"Well, it was fun y'all," tweeted the school's athletic department, which had gone from about 5,400 followers before its 20-point romp over top-seeded Virginia on Friday to 109,000 followers by the end of the Retrievers' loss to Kansas State.
