NCAA tournament blogging – Murray State!

 

4:45 p.m. -- The NCAA tournament just got its first real iconic moment with Murray State's Danero Thomas nailing a buzzer beater to send Vanderbilt back to preppy-ville. Man, I love buzzer beaters. It seems like they've been missing from the NCAA tournament in recent years. Thomas let it go with two guys in his face, and while the ball was in the air the horn sounded, meaning it was a true buzzer beater, not one of these weak ones where there is still time on the clock. It was also a make-or-go-home jumper and it came from a No. 13 seed. I'm ecstatic! A lot of people actually predicted this upset, seeing as this was actually Murray State's 31st victory, and I'll confess to being one of them. But I mostly did it because I loathe Vanderbilt for reasons I can't properly explain. (You know what you did, Jay Cutler!)
