Imagine the feelings in the moment for the shooter. You just received a pass from a wild turnover, and you have an entire fanbase on your back. Nothing but ICE in his veins.
He literally had nothing to lose, his team is not expected to win nor was anyone expecting them to hit that shot. Complete opposite of what your saying, see how how his performance goes when their expectations increase.
I'm from South Carolina where Furman from and I told my cousin Furman, College of Charleston, and UNC Asheville are in the tournament from the Carolinas. I literally told her anything can happen its March Madness. I was in the bank watching the ending to Furman/VA game going crazy, lol
Damn I had UVA in the elite 8 but hell ya this is what this tourney is all about. These young fellas creating lifelong memories, especially the seniors.
That’s on u I never pick Virginia they play to slow and their offense always sucks. These little schools bring too much passion for Virginia to win a grind out game
That turnover will haunt Clark for the rest of his life. You always remember the losses more than the wins, especially since he could have called timeout. Unbelievable mistake by a senior starting point guard.
JP Pegues is a Furman Legend. What was really cool too is that he was the first person to shake as many hands as he could with the Virginia players/staff as soon as the game ended. Respect congrats Furman!
Garret Hien is the unsung hero of the sequence. He not only nails 2 absolutely critical free throws at crunch time when he shoots 50% on the season he intercepts the horrible lob and makes the intelligent pass to his teammate for the assist on the winning shot. UNSUNG HERO
Mental mistake during pressure cooker time…Clark thought there was only a couple of seconds left on the clock because he was probably counting thrice as fast as the clock due to the pressure. Virginia also had a timeout left. March Madness has arrived with force! Furman has 2,700 undergraduates and Virginia has 17,000 undergraduates. You got to be happy for the kids from Furman.
Virginia's last 4 appearances in the Big Dance: first 1 to lose to a 16, national championship, lost in first round as 4 seed, lost in first round as 4 seed. The epitome of "boom or bust". Three busts, but the one "boom"... yeah, i think UVA fans will gladly take that and the three first round losses.
Made the worst possible play tried to throw it ahead to his teammates cherry picking in the back court. Had a wide open teammate to his right and a timeout left. Absolutely gutted for him
@@Zaghzackio Kind of like what happened to James Worthy in the '84 Finals against Boston in Game 2. Up 2, shot clock off, had a timeout left, trapped in the backcourt and chucked a blind pass to about midcourt, Henderson intercepts it and gets the tying layup.
I was in Sacramento for Utah State vs Missouri, and we watched this on the Jumbotron. THAT PLACE ERUPTED! It was so cool to witness with thousands of people! What an upset! Everyone in the bathrooms was talking about it.
Kids grow up playing out scenarios like this in their heads. And then BANG! MAGIC! March Madness really puts out some of the greatest moments in all of sports
I played college basketball in the late eighties and my wife gets upset nowadays when I stay up all hours of the night to catch a game during March madness. I absolutely love seeing Cinderella stories and extreme underdogs pull off crazy wins. Many years down the road these guys will tell their grandchildren about the time their little tiny school beat GOLIATH. PROOF THAT WITH ENOUGH HEART, HOPE, AND SACRIFICE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
I dunno if that kid Clark can ever recover from that error. It's different if it happened in a regular game or a summer league or a mini tournament. But this situation, this game is completely different. This was probably the biggest game of his life. For his sake, I hope he learns from this and gets motivated to make up for this and make himself a better player. Good luck kid.
I chose them in about 12 free brackets on the NCAA app and ESPN app combined because these are the types of games Virginia finds hilarious ways to lose in.
Was there in person to see it..have watched the replay a dozen times easily since yesterday 😆..definitely rooting for Furman vs San Diego State...Duke-Tennessee should be awesome as well..
My alma mater made me proud today! Class of '74. Was there when we first danced under Joe Williams. South Carolina is probably thrilled to be off the hook as the only team the Paladins ever beat in The Tourney. Congrats guys and well deserved.
@@dipthongthathongthongthong9691 lol you don’t know what your talking about when your facing a full court press they did everything right when the ball was given back to the inbounder he was supposed to pass it to the opposite side because the defence shifted very basic press break but for some insane reason he decided to skip a step a chuck the ball to the third pass instead of making the simple pass to the wide open dude on his right
@@Lost1ne33 put the ball in the hands of a dwarf in the corner and tell the white guy on the wing to never check back to the ball. sounds like a brilliant strategy. to be honest, if #2 checked his left shoulder he probably could've dribbled the ball up the court because the double on him didn't come as quick as it should've. he robotically chucked it back to the dwarf. plenty of blame to be shared
@@Lost1ne33 no I actually do and this one wasn't effective in part bc of stupidity from UVA and player's inability to read the play beyond what the they were programmed to do
Crazy upsets like these happen so often now, that I always have a couple 12-5 or 13-4 upsets in my brackets now. Always. You just know they're coming. From a fan perspective, love it though. This is why March Madness is amazing.
And Viginia had a frickin TO remaining. If that Virginia player takes a TO feom being trapped, maybe that game ends differently. Poor coaching in my book.
Damn I don’t know what’s worse for them!! This loss after being in control or getting blown out by a 16 seed!!! I don’t care that they won a national title!! Those two losses are outweigh that ring!!
One of the smartest players in college basketball just made one of the dumbest plays in NCAA Tournament history. I'm sure Fred Brown and Chris Webber can help him get through it. Seriously, I feel bad for Clark.
Kihei Clark is a fifth year senior and played 111 games at Virginia including being part of Virginia national championship team in 2018-19. So how in the heck is that inexperience
So much better than the NBA. Star players sitting out for load management while getting paid millions. These kids are doing it for the love of the game.
Big man steals, perfect passes from beyond half court, and is at the basket positioned to rebound/put back if needed!!! Paladin Purple IS my favorite color!🎉
From what I've learned Virginia's playstyle is why they face these upsets. They are the only #1 to lose to a #16 but then they go and win it the next year (same coach) so watch out ncaa here they come.
One year ago today, I saw the first big upset of the 2023 NCAA Tournament and one of the wildest finishes ever! Furman did the unthinkable, and I couldn't have been happier for them!
Imagine the feelings in the moment for the shooter. You just received a pass from a wild turnover, and you have an entire fanbase on your back. Nothing but ICE in his veins.
True, but when the moment happens, you normally don't even think about it, which makes it that much easier
@@Gretri17 nope
No time to think about that. You’re just focused on getting the shot off in time
The smart players love taking that shot. Nothing to lose, no one would ever remember if he missed.
But he's a HERO if it goes in. Good on him!
He literally had nothing to lose, his team is not expected to win nor was anyone expecting them to hit that shot.
Complete opposite of what your saying, see how how his performance goes when their expectations increase.
This sequence is the epitome of what madness is all about. You never know what’s gonna happen
Call a timeout loser.. nice baseball pass
I turned it off thinking virginia won
bro why did he just throw it up in the air 😭😭😭
they had a timeout, he could've swing the ball... honestly just awful😅
@@mijo5964 Even if the idiot didn't call a timeout and turned over the ball on violation VA probably had a better chance to win with the time left.
March Madness literally never disappoints
Definitely MADNESS
Except when you put Virginia on your bracket lol
@@SiphonEdits except in 2019, but yeah lol (I had Furman winning this so I'm happy)
@@SiphonEdits right🤯
@@SiphonEditsit was always Furman.!
Virginia really has the most soul crushing March losses man
Fr
Yeah this game should've been over. That is heart wrenching and you can see it on their faces. Man what a costly turnover in such a huge game.
How about Duke losing to Leheigh.
@@robinabernathy2829 not nearly as bad as losing to a 16 seed UMBC
They are coached by Tony Bennett. He and his father Dick are the masters of it because their brand of stone age basketball invites it.
There is no better announcer to have called this than Kevin Harlan!!! MARCH MADNESS IS BACK BABY!!!!
That shot gave me chills. Always so much better when it's the underdog who hits the shot.
i love it because the minute it left his hands, you knew it was good
@@NBUltra187 I agree. Looked online the whole time
You cannot make these kind of mistakes when your team is up by two points!!!
should've called a timeout
@@alb4271 Exactly!!
There was a guy wide open near the Furman bench...
When you're trapped, call a timeout.
Anything would have been better than mindlessly heaving it down the court
THIS is why we all love this time of year! If everyone was as dependable as March Madness this would be a perfect world.
I'm from South Carolina where Furman from and I told my cousin Furman, College of Charleston, and UNC Asheville are in the tournament from the Carolinas. I literally told her anything can happen its March Madness. I was in the bank watching the ending to Furman/VA game going crazy, lol
What an ending! With Kevin Harlan on the call this made it so much more epic!
Right! The GOAT
It’s moments like these on why he should be commentating in the NCAA Championship games instead of Jim Nantz
@@lupinvash3 this is Nantz’s last year, Ian Eagle who is also amazing like Harlan will call it starting next year
Damn I had UVA in the elite 8 but hell ya this is what this tourney is all about. These young fellas creating lifelong memories, especially the seniors.
Ik they wouldn’t last I had them losing in round 2 but damn why did they fold against furman
Lifelong PTSD for UVA players tho😂
I made 3 brackets and I picked Furman in all 3, seriously lol
my friend had them in the finals. so his brackets done for lol
That’s on u I never pick Virginia they play to slow and their offense always sucks. These little schools bring too much passion for Virginia to win a grind out game
You can’t be a national title winner and make a mistake like that.. brutal
In five seconds Harlan went from confused to stunned and then amazed.
*Stunned, Confused, Amazed
Feel bad for that kid. That was such a dumb turnover
That turnover will haunt Clark for the rest of his life. You always remember the losses more than the wins, especially since he could have called timeout. Unbelievable mistake by a senior starting point guard.
Clark has the best and also the worst pass in Virginia basketball history as his legacy.
That kid who tossed the ball will never forget that and vice versa for the kid who hit the 3
#0 threw it and #1 made the shot
If you could show one play that would epitomize March madness this is it right here.
This happened about 2 1/2 hours into the tournament. Followed by Princeton 2 1/2 hours later defeating the 2 seed Wildcats. March. Freaking. Madness.
I can't stop watching this on repeat. I love seeing the reactions of the coach and the guy who made the pass. This is so fucking juicy.
Yup me too! Love seeing the reaction from coach m fans!!! 🎉
@@santzeo same here! They probably thought it was all but over 🙂
JP Pegues is a Furman Legend. What was really cool too is that he was the first person to shake as many hands as he could with the Virginia players/staff as soon as the game ended. Respect congrats Furman!
Virginia had a timeout left!!! Dafuq
Welp, there goes my bracket.
Yep I’m already 0 - 2 😢
I’m 2-0 😂
I picked UVA to win this game in all three of mine. There’s always next year.
If you had UVA getting any further than the 2nd round you deserved it
Said by many
"OH YOU DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT!!!!!"
I LOVE MARCH
Garret Hien is the unsung hero of the sequence. He not only nails 2 absolutely critical free throws at crunch time when he shoots 50% on the season he intercepts the horrible lob and makes the intelligent pass to his teammate for the assist on the winning shot. UNSUNG HERO
I'm certain that Virginia never wants to play a NCAA Tournament game on March 16th ever again 😂

Hate Cinderella. Never pulled for the underdog. Rather have best vs best. Feel sorry for UVA. Wished they played best of 3 at minimum.
@@TheSupernaturalWolf41 It wouldn't be madness if it weren't for the occasional game like this.
@@TheSupernaturalWolf41 it would be like the NBA playoffs then, either take months to finish or have a fraction of the teams involved
@@TheSupernaturalWolf41 Oh well. Not everyone sees the same picture. It does FORCE TEAMS TO GO ALL OUT. NO TIME TO COAST.
@@TheSupernaturalWolf41 The best teams rise to the occasion and perform under pressure. UVA couldn’t. They gone.
That shot gave #1 another level of confidence going into the next round.
He definitely shot it with confidence! Furman!
Commentator: “take care of the ball against the pressure… get it in cleanly, handle the initial trap and then make free throws.
FURMAN: how about a No
Lol
King, Pegues, GOOOOOOOODDDD!! gives me chills every time.
I already circled my bracket for Virginia mins before this and wow. Great play. Love March madness so much!
I was at the game wantingfor furman to win and that ending was wild and the crowd was really loud
The guys should have listened to the TV announcer, he literally said what VA needed to do step by step before they inbounded the ball.
Man this is the reason I love March madness never know what's going to happen congratulations furman

Kid won a natty so not the most important game of his life.
5 year senior 😬
Is this satire? Do you know who he is? 🤔
That’s a 5th year 23 year old senior doing that.
This tournament is so special and Kevin Harlan is a national treasure.
I was one of ten people in the world who picked Furman on 4 brackets 😂
Right on! I didn’t do my bracket this year
What year did you graduate form Furman?
@@reynaldogarcia3799 Lmfao
I chose them in about 12 free brackets on the NCAA app and ESPN app combined because these are the types of games Virginia finds hilarious ways to lose in.
Also, I'm 13, and I didn't know Furman existed until 5 days ago
Even Chris Webber was like wtfff are you doinnnng!!!???!!!
One of the biggest panic moments in NCAA history. Chris Webber’s “TIME OUT!” Is still worse than this.
Was there in person to see it..have watched the replay a dozen times easily since yesterday 😆..definitely rooting for Furman vs San Diego State...Duke-Tennessee should be awesome as well..

Congratulations! I'm from South Carolina and glad they got the won representing SC well!
Hell yeah. My parents met at Furman, I almost went to school there. Love that Furman community. Gave me chills seeing this.
JP Pegues drilled that shot like his LIFE depended on it! 🏀 🏀 🏀
We will be seeing this for many many many years to come....
I’m so excited for March Madness
The Madness is officially *HERE! THIS* is why I absolutely ❤❤❤❤❤❤ it!
Yasssss!
The worst moment in his life he had a man wide open damn he going to be sick
Quite a play Virginia drew up
“Alright, pass it to the corner, and then just leave it to Jesus”
For real, give it back to the shortest guy who's double teamed and have anyone else who could help be covered or miles away

Gonna be a rough night for that young man. Remember my dude It's just a moment in a long life.
Fr he needs a support system and ignore all the dipshits that will undoubtedly hurl death threats. It’s just a game after all.
Death threats a comin.
@@zoomcat5138 Most of them will be people who lost money on the game. Not actually students.
Nah. He deserves all the hate and criticism that comes towards him. Just a boneheaded mistake and I hope he knows he cost his team the game.

I hope they rally around that young man who made that error and support him, He probably gonna blame himself forever.
Yea for real lol
As he should.
Well he made a bone headed play . It is his fault his team lost
ICE! WATER!
That shot was cold-blooded! We'll be watching that sequence for the next 30 years.
Clark literally throwing the game away hail mary style
I could not believe what I was watching. Oh my god.
MARCH IS HERE, BOYS!
Crazy upsets like these happen so often now, that I always have a couple 12-5 or 13-4 upsets in my brackets now. Always. You just know they're coming.
From a fan perspective, love it though. This is why March Madness is amazing.
It’s because everybody is skilled today
@@aptycoongaming9086 Absolutely. The skill difference between the 10th best team in the tourney and the 40th best team isn't as big as people think.
My bracket 2 for 2 so far. THANK YOU FURMAN
CONGRATS!!
And I’m 0 for 2
Goddamit West Virginia
SAME LETS GO FURMAN
And Viginia had a frickin TO remaining. If that Virginia player takes a TO feom being trapped, maybe that game ends differently. Poor coaching in my book.
Damn I don’t know what’s worse for them!! This loss after being in control or getting blown out by a 16 seed!!! I don’t care that they won a national title!! Those two losses are outweigh that ring!!
Getting blown out by a 16 seed is far worse especially since they were the first one to ever do it.
I agree 100 percent
No one remembers that fraud championship anyway. Virginia deserves it
As a gonzaga fan I'll take the reputation zags have over Virginia ANY DAY.
I think the fact that they bounced back and won the national title the year after losing to a 16 seed outweighs all of that
Bruh threw a Hail Mary like it’s madden lmao
This is one of those moments where you’ll remember where you were if you saw this live.
🎶It's the most wonderful time of the year!🎶
Shout out all the fans that just deactivated their social media this is crazy.
The joy of victory and the agony of defeat. What a way to start the madness!!!
Damn that guy for Virginia blew it with that bad pass, he should’ve called time out if they had one 😂
Furman did everything perfect here. Perfect timing on the double team to force a bad pass, perfect interception, perfect shot
Congratulations Furman ! That is a BIG win !!!
:40 Santa Claus mouthing “What The Fcck!”
The upset reaction from the VA guy is so funny to me. I’m sorry 😭😭
Classic surrender cobra pose
Nothing funny abt it
0:39 😂 that old guy
Upsets like these never disappoint, especially on buzzer beaters!
Coach should have called timeout.
Over the years I think we’ve all learned never have Virginia going past the first weekend in your bracket other than that one magical year
You're not lying. I had them gone by the second round and they couldn't even get that deal done...
Dude was wide open at top of screen and I swear Clark saw him. Still said “Nope, I’m gonna try and heave this thing down court”.
One of the smartest players in college basketball just made one of the dumbest plays in NCAA Tournament history. I'm sure Fred Brown and Chris Webber can help him get through it. Seriously, I feel bad for Clark.
he must’ve been paid, there’s no other way
1:02 - panic and inexperience all wrapped up in two decisions: The throw, and the weak closeout - OOF
Kihei Clark is a fifth year senior and played 111 games at Virginia including being part of Virginia national championship team in 2018-19. So how in the heck is that inexperience
I don’t even care about my brackets…that was exciting…salute to Furman
He really threw the Hail Mary turnover and had game winner shot in his eyes in less than 5 sec. 😂
First day and it’s already madness 😂

That half court shot almost went in too.
THERE IS A REASON ITS CALLED MARCH MADNESS! I GOT THE RIGHT PICK OMG!
I can't believe that Virginia player threw the ball away like that. So careless.
Let them foul and shoot your free throws.
This was wild
This is f*cking incredible. I LOVE March Madness.
“Did we just see what we think we just saw?”
I watched this during class with my friend, we saw the buzzer beater we went crazy and the teacher got mad 😂😂😂
So much better than the NBA. Star players sitting out for load management while getting paid millions. These kids are doing it for the love of the game.
Big steal at the end.
People always undervalue these types of defensive stop and focus on made shots. Without the steal, none of this will happen.
Big man steals, perfect passes from beyond half court, and is at the basket positioned to rebound/put back if needed!!! Paladin Purple IS my favorite color!🎉
I'm here at the game. It was awesome in person!
0:40 “ did we just see what we think we just saw”
people talking shit.. it actually wasn’t a bad idea… just didn’t throw it far enough.
From what I've learned Virginia's playstyle is why they face these upsets. They are the only #1 to lose to a #16 but then they go and win it the next year (same coach) so watch out ncaa here they come.
“Oh didn’t need to do that... pegues GOOD”
One year ago today, I saw the first big upset of the 2023 NCAA Tournament and one of the wildest finishes ever! Furman did the unthinkable, and I couldn't have been happier for them!
Can we give credit to Garrett Hein as well? He made two clutch free throws, stole the ball, and passed the ball to Pegues.
Big man was lookin' cool, calm, collected and almost casual😂
