Lamont Butler, welcome to the March Madness history books.
The San Diego State University junior became a college basketball legend on Saturday night in NRG Stadium by drilling a buzzer-beating jump shot to send his team to the national championship game in epic fashion.
In a tournament that always delivers, Butler provided the best moment yet in 2023 with San Diego State’s 72-71 victory over Florida Atlantic— one reminiscent of the shot Kris Jenkins hit in 2016 to win the title for Villanova in the same building.
College basketball fans across the country were stunned and the reactions were priceless. Here are the best from inside the building in Houston and around the country.
