At least one former NBA-er weighed in, especially impressed with a certain three-point shooter.

Coach Eric Musselman isn't surprised, mentioning in his postgame interview that this is the message he's been sending his team everyday. But fans? College basketball fans were surprised.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to see Gonzaga go down. I just wasn’t expecting Arkansas to make this kind of a run.

While another fan is reminding The Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon, that he can root for the Razorbacks now.
@FallonTonight so now it's time for you to become a Razorbacks fan since they knocked off your Zags. Can't wait to hear you all Call the Hogs. #WPS 🐗🏀

One fan is looking ahead to the Elite 8 and hoping to face Duke and Coach K.
