Fans erupt after VCU completes North Carolina 1st-round shocker

VCU basketball needed to win the Atlantic-10 Tournament in order to gain entry into the Big Dance, so the Rams know what it is like to play under desperate circumstances. One could even say they thrive in such conditions. The No. 11 seed in the South Region embodied its signature resilience in a stunning 82-78 overtime victory over North Carolina on Thursday night.

Terrence Hill Jr. knocked down a sensational step-back 3-pointer to give VCU a two-point lead with 15 seconds remaining. Henri Veesaar was unable to respond on the free-throw line, setting the stage for a thrilling comeback win and a huge collapse.

Social media exploded, as March Madness took full effect in Greenville, South Carolina. “Awesome game! This exactly why we love March Madness,” @JamesMrukHughes posted on X. “Crazy heart by VCU being down by 19 at one point.”
