If you were watching Iowa State and Stanford’s instant classic during March Madness on Sunday evening (and well into Monday morning), you were probably trying to find the words to describe what your eyes were seeing. The game was so mind-bending that even the TV announcers had to get super creative to describe it, but one call absolutely nailed it.
IT’S BRACKET MADNESS: Enter USA TODAY’s NCAA tournament bracket contest for a chance at $1 million prize.
Holy basketball, Batman! Stanford and Iowa State gave hoops fans the best game of the NCAA tournament thus far. If I didn’t watch it myself, I wouldn’t believe these stats: 17 lead changes (including seven in overtime at one point), 14 steals, 13 blocks, 11 ties and 63 percent shooting on 3-point shots from Iowa State. Did I mention that Stanford’s Kiki Iriafen dropped 41 points and 16 rebounds, and Iowa State’s Emily Ryan had 36 points on the other end? WILD TIMES. INCREDIBLE.
Social media was scrambling to keep up with so much happening at once. Heck, even Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer used one of the wildest metaphors we’ve heard in a while to describe it. However, Roy Philpott’s call during overtime said what everyone was thinking.
Here’s the call:
Hope you're watching Iowa State – Stanford 🔥
