In the closing minutes of the NCAA Tournament game between Hawaii and Cal, the Rainbow Warriors decided to celebrate a made free throw with a precisely choreographed dab.
While the idea of dabbing to a free throw may seem somewhat silly, Hawaii had good reason to celebrate on Friday. The 13th-seeded Rainbow Warriors managed to upset the 4th-seeded Cal Bears by a score of 77-66 and, in the process, make school history.
What a wake up! Hawaii, in a game that started at 8 a.m. Hawaiian time, gets its first NCAA Tournament win (fifth appearance).

When you’re on your way to earning your first NCAA Tournament victory, you should definitely be allowed to dab to just about anything.
