Oh, ain’t March Madness grand? Well, not if you are on Vanderbilt’s side of the fence, but still, even Kevin Stallings has to tip his hat to Danero Thomas’ big-time shot. It was a fantastic ending to a great game, which featured a great deal of back-and-forth. Murray State pretty much controlled the game; although, a late Vanderbilt run put them in the position of needing Thomas’ heroics.

And Danero, well, delivered with an “ONIONS” shot that would’ve made Bill Raftery proud.

While the shot was indeed impressive, another thing that caught my attention was how quick YouTube had videos of it up. If the elapsed time was over 5 minutes, I’ll be pretty surprised. While I have some incredibly fond memories of early/mid 90s March Madness, enjoying it with the modern technological amenities available to us is pretty damn awesome — much like Thomas’ shot.

Here’s video of the momentous occasion:

And head coach Billy Kennedy’s reaction (love the accent):

And with that, folks, it’s officially March Madness. I hope Murray’s win didn’t wreck your bracket too badly.
