Xavier pulled off arguably the biggest upset of the NCAA tournament this year with its 73-71 victory over Arizona on Thursday night.

The win catapulted the Musketeers into a surprise appearance in the Elite Eight, and, needless to say, produced some incredible moments for both the team and its fans along the way.

Here's a look at five memorable photos from Xavier's huge win:

Guard Quentin Goodin and forward Tyrique Jones react after running out the clock in the game's final seconds.

Jones jumps onto the scorer's table to celebrate with the fans.

Xavier's mascot D'Artagnan, the Musketeer, cheers along with the team's most famous fan, Bill Murray (Murray's son is an assistant coach on the team).

Malcolm Bernard and Trevon Bluiett can't contain their smiles following the massive victory.

Guard Allonzo Trier led the Wildcats with 19 points, but he came up short in the end and was overcome with emotion.
