Magary made the same joke almost 3 years ago, but it never gets old....

Pretty sure that reaction was due to him hitting the confetti button.

Instant reaction aside, I’m just glad this security guard didn’t let the moment distract him from his real job of sucker punching the UNC mascot.

The guard’s stat line for the game: 0 shots, o assists, 1 rebound.

A true competitor would’ve delivered the tie to either team, wins or not.

You’re sweaty, you’re euphoric, and you’re covered in confetti.

Those were clearly in style until at least 2005! Or at least I’d like to think so, given I wore them until then.

You know too much about shoes and when they are/aren’t in fashion.

“Unclear if that total included this girl, who has an awful lot of blood on her hand.”

Bang.

You’re right. It was probably a settee.

Looks like a man who saw himself peak, and is looking at the rest of his life as a downhill coast.

The biggest balls of the night belong to whomever hit the button to drop that confetti.

Great writing to capture an an incredible sequence. It has been too long since reading something on Deadspin gave me goosebumps, but this did the trick!

The corollary:

If Hillary is on the next round I’m sure there’s at least SOMEONE who will point it out.

Until Western Powers start showing up, I’m on board with this theory:
