After the first week of the NCAA Tournament has come and gone, you look back and realize what great games you saw, and some crazy upsets. Case in point: University of Maryland Baltimore County over Virginia. The first 16-seed to advance out of the round of 64. You also saw Syracuse advance to the Sweet 16 as the last team in the tournament. Nevada came back from 22 points down to beat Cincinnati. Or Michigan's Jordan Poole sunk a 28-foot shot to beat Houston.
All in all, the madness is real. But, there was more that she wrote.
1. That moment when you realize you're going to the Final Four...
Just watch Bo Ryan's reaction:
2. It's a three...GOT IT!
Sam Dekker coming in clutch.
3. 10 seconds...for the final four
Big time players make big time shots, and it's heartbreaking when that shot happens against your favorite team.
4. The madness CONTINUES!
Big time Trey.
5. NO HE DID NOT!
One legged ONIONS!
Seriously though, both shots... you couldn't have Chiozza's shot without having Showalter's. What a crazy game that was. It ended up being the only overtime game of the entire tournament.
6. Onto the Final Four!
'Maye' the odds be ever in your favor.
As you can see, these 6 moments capture the intensity of March Madness, and you can be sure to see more in the Final Four. Again, the madness is real, y'all. Be sure to watch every game until the end. If these 6 moments are any indication, it's that the game is never over until the last shot is taken when the buzzer sounds. If there's overtime, that just adds to the intensity. If it's tied in the final seconds, expect something crazy to happen. If it's close, remember to play until the whistle or when the clock runs out. It ain't over 'til it's over.
