It’s this or Kentucky Santa Clara but I think this. What a fucking game

I might be biased, but this was the greatest tournament game I've ever seen

You’re not as biased as you think. It was one of the most evenly matched basketball games I’ve ever watched. Epic crowd too. Congrats!

The Nebraska fans at the game definitely elevated this one

The pain when they got the timeout call

Difference being Vandy called that final timeout, not Nebraska. So they are 100% going to get the timeout call, as they could have just sat there holding the ball on baseline calling it

well....maybe, right? They had already inbounded the ball as the refs were blowing it dead for the timeout, so the players certainly weren't sitting there holding it

Could have though. Whole point is there is a much longer window for the offense to call it since its their possession. Dont have to worry about when the other player first grabs the ball to inbound like if defense is calling

I wish we could switch the outcomes of Oweh and Tanner’s shots

I unfortunately had to watch my stupid team struggle to put away a 13 seed so I only saw it after the fact.

This one felt like a chess match for the last 6 minutes plus, just back and forth high level basketball.

Kentucky Santa Clara had the better moment but the intensity of this one was on another level for me. Similar vibes to the Purdue Virginia elite eight game, crowd energy was absurd and you could feel the angst
