Linsanity Celebrates March Madness [VIDEO] : Harvard's Jeremy Lin Thrilled by Upset Win in 2013 NCAA Tournament

Even in the thick of a tight playoff race, Harvard alum Jeremy Lin isn't immune to March Madness.

Lin, who played as a point guard in Harvard for four seasons prior to entering the NBA in 2010, had plenty of reasons to celebrate as he watched his alma mater, the No.14-seeded Crimson Tide, pull off a stunning 68-62 upset of No.3 seeded New Mexico Thursday, the school winning its first NCAA tournament game ever.

Ever jubilant about the victory, Lin took to Twitter to celebrate the Crimson Tide's triumph.

"YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!! HARVARD winssss!!! hahahahhah i told you.... #threepointgoggles#bracketbusters pic.twitter.com/ZlpqTFCPtM," Lin tweeted.

The tweet was accompanied by a picture of Lin sporting a Harvard basketball tee shirt while putting his hands to his eyes doing what he deemed the "Three Point Goggles" pose.

Indeed, the three ball helped Harvard a lot in its upset of the New Mexico Lobos, the Crimson Tide shooting 44.4 percent from downtown Thursday in a bracket-busting NCAA tournament upset.

Lin didn't receive any scholarship offers to Harvard, where he arrived in 2007, and one coach remembered him as the physically weakest player on the team. However, he started picking it up in his sophomore season, where he averaged 12.6 points and was named to the All-Ivy League Second Team. In his junior year, Lin burst out with 17.8 points, 5.5 assists and 4.3 steals, the only NCAA Division I player at that time to rank in the top ten in eight categories.

By the time Lin graduated with a degree in economics in 2010, he was the only player in Ivy League history to have recorded 1,450 points (1,483), 450 rebounds (487), 400 assists (406) and 200 steals (225) during his four years on the team.

Ever proud of his Ivy League background, Lin even worked that into a recent ESPN commercial where he tutored some of the ESPN anchors on the finer points of basketball--Harvard style.
