With Duke defeating Wisconsin 68-63 in a thriller for the NCAA men's basketball national championship at Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday night, the sports nation's eye turned toward Indianapolis. Current NFL stars J.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers were in attendance, and many more watched from home, taking to social media to share their reactions as the game progressed.

So proud of the guys. #Badgers
