WATCH: Pat Fitzgerald celebrated Northwestern's first NCAA Tourney win and it was awesome
Northwestern’s first NCAA Tournament victory in school history fired up many people.
Chances are, you heard about it from the likes of famous alums like Michael Wilbon or Darren Rovell.
Something tells me they didn’t celebrate quite like Pat Fitzgerald.
As expected, Fitzgerald was in Utah for the Wildcats’ first-round victory. But it was the postgame celebration that Fitzgerald really made his presence felt.

And just in case that wasn’t enough, Fitzgerald led Northwestern fans in a singing of the school fight song.

Northwestern will square off with No. 1-seed Gonzaga on Saturday. If the Cats pull off the upset, Fitzgerald’s celebration will somehow have to reach new heights.
