During the March Madness tournament selection process the NCAA accidentally sent a text message to the South Carolina Athletic Department informing them they had been selected to play in the NCAA Mens College Basketball Tournament.

NCAA vice president of men's basketball championships Dan Gavitt released a statement Thursday explaining what happened.

"Unfortunately, during the selection show a junior men's basketball staff member mistakenly sent a text to a member of the University of South Carolina athletics department staff via an app we used for the first time during the 2016 tournament. The text was supposed to go to all teams, congratulating them for making the tournament. Regrettably, a text meant for another institution went to South Carolina instead.

Keep doing your thing NCAA...
