Murray State and Vanderbilt played what might turn into the best game of the tournament (although, that could be said about four or five of the early games).
But the biggest shot of the tournament came from Danero Thomas. Take a look:
First off, what a shot Thomas hit. That's an 18 foot fadeaway with two hands in his face. Not an easy shot to hit in practice, let alone at the end of a game in the NCAA Tournament.
I was also very impressed with Murray State's awareness of the clock. At this level, how often do you see a team fire up an off-balance 25 footer with two seconds left. The Racers didn't panic, got a decent look at the rim, and came away with the win.
Lastly, Spero Dedes. Never heard of the guy, but was very impressed. His call on the final shot: "Its Thomas, one second ... Got it at the buzzer!" He's no Gus Johnson, but no one is. I enjoyed him.
