If you thought the 32-1 Miami Redhawks basketball team was the star of the show in their first March Madness victory in 27 years… think again.

The infamous Redhawks swim team travelled the hour from campus to Dayton, Ohio, to liven up the crowd in their signature Speedo outfits.

Social media loved the dedication that both teams showed during the game.

This is 100% going to be in One Shining Moment https://t.co/Pkxs3TpBmW
