UMBC's historic NCAA upset immortalized at Retrievers' home arena

UMBC Event Center needed a little renovation after some NCAA Tournament magic.

Well, little might be an understatement.

When fans walk into the basketball home of the Retrievers next season, there's a welcome reminder of what was achieve during March Madness: UMBC becoming the first No. 16 seeded to knock off a No. 1 in the first round.
