Jairus Lyles' Mom Discusses UMBC Star Beating Alma Mater in 2018 NCAA Tournament

UMBC senior guard Jairus Lyles led the Retrievers to a 74-54 blowout of Virginia on Friday night to become the first No. 16 seed in the men's NCAA tournament to defeat a No. 1 seed. The Cavaliers also happen to be his parents' alma mater.

Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com spoke with Carol Motley, Lyles' mother, who graduated from Virginia with the March Madness sensation's father, Lester Lyles, in 1985.

"It was unbelievable to see them whip up on my alma mater," Motley said. "I was part of Retriever Nation tonight."

She added: "I still can't believe it. We've done the amazing."

Lyles scored 28 points, 13 more than anybody else in the game, while also grabbing four rebounds and dishing out three assists in the upset.

The Retrievers return to action Sunday for a second-round clash with Kansas State.
