UMBC Upsets Virginia And Everyone Gets Free Pizza

Because of the historic upset in the NCAA basketball tournament, everyone gets a free lunch combo at Little Caesars.

The University of Maryland in Baltimore County made history Friday night after taking out the no. 1 seed in the tournament, the University of Virginia. UMBC became the first no. 16 seed to upset the no. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament.

Thanks to that historic upset, everyone across the country can now get a free lunch at Little Caesars on April 2.

The pizza chain said its "The If Crazy Happens" promotion would happen if a no. 16 seed beats a no. 1 seed in the tournament either on March 15 or March 16. So now, anyone who goes to a participating restaurant between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time and mentions the offer will get a free lunch combo.
