This March Madness, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is America's favorite sports mom
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is about to be America's favorite college hoops fan.
Not that we're complaining, mind you. This is off to a fantastic start.
Louis-Dreyfus' son, Charlie Hall, plays basketball as a walk-on reserve for Northwestern University. (This, by the way, is why she got caught in a total mom moment at a Northwestern game last week, but on with our current story.)
Northwestern on Sunday was selected to participate in its first-ever NCAA Tournament -- a.k.a. March Madness, a.k.a. what college hoops fans call "The Big Dance." Louis-Dreyfus mined her past playing Elaine Benes on Seinfeld to post this absolutely perfect reaction tweet.

The dance -- get it?
But her son has an important addendum, via Yahoo Sports writer Matt Fortuna.

Northwestern is seeded eighth in the West Region. The Wildcats face ninth-seeded Vanderbilt on Thursday, with a likely date against top-seed Gonzaga awaiting the winner.
Hopefully Northwestern can hang around and dance a while -- because we're not above any excuse to revisit Elaine's old moves.
