Fan notices unusual detail in photo of March Madness buzzer-beater shot
Photo Credit: Bluesky UConn's Braylon Mullins single-handedly put the madness in March Madness, hitting a 35-foot buzzer-beater to secure a 73-72 comeback victory over Duke in the Elite Eight. The last minute of the game has been analyzed by professionals and amateurs alike, with ESPN analyst Jeff Borzello calling it "one of the greatest shots in the history of the NCAA tournament. " Now, one fan on X has noticed an interesting detail in a photo taken during the winning shot.
The cool thing about this photo is that 99% of buzzer-beater shots today show fans holding up their phones, recording the moment. But since everyone expected UConn to foul and stop the clock, no one had time to pull their phones out when the turnover happened. Just pure fandom.

Just pure fandom.
" And if you look closely at the screenshot, the fans' faces are full of emotion, joy, fear, excitement, and hope. Actor Bill Murray also made a cameo in the photograph. Commenters were quick to notice a single individual in the crowd did have his phone out, with one user saying , "Could've been one of the coolest pictures of this century if it wasn't for [this one] cell phone.
" Another user added , "I don't understand people who record long videos on their phones at games and concerts. Are you really watching those? " And it is remarkable that something as simple as watching the game you attended without viewing it through your phone's camera is noteworthy.
