How the Golden Knights, UMBC became best friends on Twitter

The Golden Knights Twitter account is already known for its intermission polls, hockey haikus and general personality in the tweets.

Now, the Knights have paired up with another very famous sports Twitter account, and they may have become best friends.

University of Maryland-Baltimore County is best known for stunning the sports world when it defeated No. 1-seed Virginia in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. UMBC lost to Kansas State in the following round, but the Retrievers’ historic win captured America’s hearts (and a Twitter following).

When the Golden Knights tweeted a photo of a bunch of Golden Retrievers on a bus April 2, the UMBC Retrievers couldn’t help but respond.
