Hugh Freeze takes to Twitter following Liberty’s upset win over Mississippi State

What a weird sports world we live in.

Hugh Freeze is now the head coach at Liberty, and the Flames basketball team just pulled one of the biggest upsets in the NCAA Tournament over — you guessed it — Mississippi State, Freeze’s former rival while at Ole Miss.

You know Freeze couldn’t let this upset pass without a series of tweets, could you?

With the game on the line, Freeze was encouraging the Flames players to relax and finish.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

Then, after upset was complete, he celebrated even more.

Freeze had some battles against the Bulldogs during his career at Ole Miss, including a 3-2 record in the Egg Bowl.

Liberty hired Freeze following two seasons out of college football.
