HARTFORD, Conn. — As the final seconds ticked down and Murray State became the first mid-major team to pull an upset in this year’s NCAA tournament with an 83–64 win over Marquette, Tee Morant stood proudly in his front row seat at the XL Center and yelled to everyone within earshot about his son: “Are you not entertained?”
That sentiment had already reverberated around the country. Probably first to the Marquette fans across the court who had been chanting “overrated” early and often, then around the Twitterverse to the thousands of college basketball fans glued to their TVs that couldn’t stop sharing videos and gifs and simple “oh my god” tweets, and then maybe to some NBA front offices in the running for the first few picks in this summer’s NBA draft.
