British Guy Reacts To March Madness (CRAZIEST Endings!!) 

North Carolina State was a huge underdog in that 1983 clip. They pulled off a series of upsets under Coach Valvano who is a very influential coach who gave a famous speech (that you could check out). He got cancer so he founded the V foundation that does great work to research cancer

I’m a huge Texas A&M fan and our ending against Northern Iowa was one of the wildest I’ve ever seen. That game came directly after UNI hit the half court buzzer beater against UT so they were hot. We were down 12 with about 40 seconds left so I just went up to bed since I knew we were done and ended up missing the ending until my dad called me back in with a couple seconds left lol. It was more of a sell job than a comeback but it was WILD.

Need to check out the "One Shining Moment" montages

The 1992 Duke game was great. CL didn't miss a single shot all night.

Been a great tournament so far! Can’t wait until Thursday for the last 16

The thing about the NCAA Tournament is that it’s a measuring stick for basketball players. Your play determines if you are either NBA, G League, Overseas, or just a regular civilian in a local college basketball team jersey. Add in that some of these players are going to be done playing basketball at a high level if they lose and you get every player who touches the court showing 100% effort and talent and it produces wild outcomes.

Also, in March madness, they match two teams that most likely haven’t played each other all season and place them in one of the cities where they have every team. They spread them throughout the country and usually it’s two teams in a place that has no loyalty to either team so the fans just want a good game or root for the underdog. It’s a neutral site and that helps even the playing field from big super talented teams and small teams that no one has ever heard of before . And those small teams win sometimes in incredible fashion!! Every year!!

We definitely love our college sports ❤

I was at that 1998 Valpo vs Ole Miss game. My dad forced me go, had no idea what I was in for.

How about Princeton though? Im cheering them on in the Sweet 16. Im also cheering for FAU but only because i dont like Tennessee lol

The thing with March Madness is that every game will be the last game of the season for the losing team. And for any seniors on the team it will probably be the last game they will ever play (at least at this level). They won't play professionally; they'll graduate and get a regular job. So they push hard to win and, unlike professionals, are willing to take a chance on getting injured. And even for fans who aren't that into sports, the intensity of the players is contagious, especially in a small arena like a basketball court.

Different states in the US are into different sports. Most sports are played in colleges throughout the country, but some states are more into football, some basketball, some hockey. Or wrestling, or crew.

I'm a huge UConn basketball fan. The 2011 team and the epic tournament run they went on led by Kemba Walker is easily my favorite college basketball moment/time. There's a nicely done video about it called The 11-Game Run That Immortalized Kemba Walker and the 2011 UConn Huskies if you're interested in checking it out. It's like 10 minutes long.

unless its against my school team, i always cheer for the underdog. love it when smaller schools surprise powerhouse schools, david vs goliath matchups.

There are a couple I'm a little surprised didn't make it in here from 2005: Illinois put together a huge comeback in the Elite Eight against Arizona (down 15 with about 4 minutes to go, won in OT), and in the same round, Michigan State beat Kentucky in 2OT despite a buzzer-beater from Kentucky where the ball bounced on the rim four times before dropping and the shooter's foot was right up against the 3-point line, to the point where they spent about 10 minutes reviewing it to see whether his foot was on the line (game over, MSU wins by 1) or behind it (OT). They finally decided it was a 3. If we hadn't replaced the carpet since, you could probably still see the trench I wore in it from pacing back and forth during that review.

I'm a big Maryland fan and watching that shot go in made me hate Michigan State to this day, I can still remember watching it and being so mad/sad because they had such a good team that year and had a chance to go pretty far.
