Just because March has ended, doesn't mean that the Madness has to come to a close too. The ending of the Final Four matchup between Gonzaga and UCLA's proved just that on Saturday with an absolutely remarkable ending.
With less than one second remaining in overtime, Gonzaga's Jalen Suggs called game with a deep three-point heave, pulling up and banking in one of the most incredible shots in NCAA Tournament history. His game-winner gave No. 1 seed Gonzaga a 93-92 win over No. 11 seed UCLA in a back and forth instant classic that will go down in tournament history as one of the greatest endings the event has ever had.
The game as a whole drew the eyes of many around the NBA and sports world at large as it unfolded became one for the ages. Eventually, not only did the game take over the timeline, but the Suggs buzzer-beater caused a sports explosion where seemingly everyone on Twitter posted some form of "oh my god" and there was nothing but pure shock to be found.
