The Top Ten Tweets is a new feature to VTF. For now it will be specific to certain events around BYU Athletics, with the hope of next fall becoming a weekly feature here. If you come across a funny/enlightening/amusing 140 character display, send a link of it to TopTenTweets@gmail.com and you might just find it here. Also be sure to follow Vanquish The Foe on Twitter.
First game of this year's NCAA tournament is in the books. The Cougars caught the foul trouble bug in the first half with Charles-in-charge sitting for most of the first half. Still BYU managed to head into the half with the lead. That lead held in the second half and the Cougars were the only team in Denver to not get "upset" (seed wise). Here is some twitter-verse response to the game, and a few tweets looking forward to the round of 32 matchup with future WCC foe Gonzaga.

My dad called me today from South Carolina to ask if BYU had won. Before #Jimmer, I doubt he knew #BYU even had a basketball program.

Every time ESPN shows highlights of BYU basketball, I may yell "Jimmer!" at the TV.

I'm happy the Wofford players were so excited to get seeded to play the Cougars. "Just what we wanted!" Well, you got it.

BYU's Logan Magnusson always sounds like he should be competing in the World's Strongest Man competition.

Jimmer becomes just the 19th player in NCAA history to score 1,000 points in a season!!! He's at 1,002.
