The Drought is Over
Caleb Downs scores Ohio State’s first punt return touchdown since 2014.
In case you haven't heard, the Big Ten was bad but it switched now that Wisconsin, Michigan and Purdue all made the Sweet Sixteen while Michigan State still has a shot later today and Northwestern damn near took down No. 1 seed Gonzaga last night.
These facts aren't lost on Rutgers Basketball twitter which took to the internet to celebrate despite the Scarlet Knights posting a 3-15 record in regular season B1G play, going winless against tournament teams.

To their credit, Rutgers did post a signature non-win in a 61-54 overtime loss at home to Wisconsin way back in January.
As a Buckeye hoops fan it's difficult to bash Rutgers too much here (especially after they handled Ohio State in the B1G tourney) but when a tweet makes the SEC's conference pride blush, you gotta get in a few body shots.
The rest of Twitter certainly celebrated the magical tweet:
@RutgersMBB this is the Lavar Ball of big ten basketball tweets
