Little Caesars Offers Free Lunch Thanks To UMBC

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- You can thank the UMBC men's basketball team for lunch, as Little Caesars is offering free meals after their historic NCAA tournament win.

The company will offer free Little Caesars Lunch Combos Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Combos include four slices of DEEP!DEEP!TM Dish pepperoni pizza and a 20 ounce Pepsi product.

The offer is part of the "If Crazy Happens with Little Caesars Pizza Promotion" in which the company promised the free meals if any #16 seed beat a #1 seed in the 2018 men's college basketball tournament.

The University of Maryland Baltimore County Retrievers became the first team to accomplish this in tournament history when they beat Virginia, 74-54 on March 16.

There are restrictions, including only one combo per family, while supplies last, custom orders aren't available, and you cannot receive free food after 1 p.m. even if you were already in line.

The NCAA men's basketball tournament championship game is Monday night. #3 Michigan heads off against #1 Villanova at 9:20 p.m.
