Against all odds, the 11th-seeded Loyola-Chicago Ramblers will play for a spot in the Final Four after defeating the seventh-seeded Nevada Wolf Pack, 69-68, Thursday night at Philips Arena in Atlanta.

And as has been the case over the past week, Twitter had a field day as the Ramblers pulled off their third straight upset in dramatic fashion.ย 

CBSSports.com's Matt Norlander highlighted just how much Loyola-Chicago has been living on the edge, while The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach suggested a new nickname for this year's Cinderella:ย 

Some fun was also had at the expense of Loyola team chaplain Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt, whoย famously pickedย the Ramblers to lose in the Sweet 16:ย 

Sister Jean spoke to CBS after the game and acknowledged that while her bracket may be busted, she's thrilled to see Loyola-Chicago headed to the Elite Eight:ย 

Here's a look at the best of the rest:ย 

The Ramblers will be back in action Saturday when they hit the floor for the South Regional Final against either No. 5 Kentucky or No. 9 Kansas State.ย
