It's not March yet, but the BYU men's basketball team played the role of Cinderella Saturday night, knocking off the undefeated and top-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs on the road in the Bulldogs' last remaining barrier in the way of a perfect regular season.

The win marked the third consecutive time the Cougars have won at The Kennel in Spokane, Washington.

Folks from around the country were watching the ESPN-televised game and shared some great reactions on Twitter about what was happening throughout the contest, and then after the final buzzer had sounded.

The early minutes

In the early minutes of the game, it appeared Gonzaga would run away with the win, as it opened up a commanding 18-2 lead.

Gonzaga is just toying with BYU. This is like an adult playing against a toddler — Brian Swinney (@thebrianswinney) February 26, 2017

The comeback

The tide began to turn midway through the first half, however, as the Cougars mounted a comeback and ultimately trailed by just six at halftime.

The Kaufusi bucket

With 24 seconds left and the Cougars up two, big man Corbin Kaufusi got an offensive rebound off a T.J. Haws miss and put it back for a bucket to all but seal the upset win.

The newspaper cover

Earlier on Saturday, a leak on Twitter revealed that a newspaper in Spokane had a cover ready to go in case Gonzaga won to finish the regular season undefeated.

BYU fans certainly jumped all over the opportunity to point out that the cover is now irrelevant.

Not today! What a win. Go Cougs!!! pic.twitter.com/biK5sEYcou — Tanner Mangum (@tannermangum) February 26, 2017
