Prior to tip-off between Illinois and Houston in the Sweet 16, Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports and arguably the biggest sports personality there is, was captured taking what looked like the worst shot to ever be taken on a March Madness court.
Portnoy and other Barstool Sports personalities, including “Big Cat,” were seen putting shots up before the game, all of which should’ve been left unseen. Outside of his broken shot, Portnoy has bigger things to worry about when it comes to March Madness with his alma mater, Michigan, tipping off against Alabama in the Sweet 16 on Friday Night.

If Alabama wins, the boss will double Bosco’s salary and give him a 10-year contract. If Michigan wins, Bosco will need to host a podcast with former Barstool personality Jeff Nadu, who gained notoriety for his rocky relationship with Bosco.
