March Madness can so easily become March Sadness as Bill Murray taught the world on Sunday night.

On the one hand, Wisconsin pulled off an amazing buzzer-beater victory over Xavier to advance to the Sweet Sixteen of this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament.

But in the immediate aftermath of the miraculous game-winning shot, the TNT cameras found Bill Murray, Xavier fan, staring in bewilderment at the court. He's so bewildered, he doesn't even notice the poor kid losing it behind him.

Murray's got a pretty great reason for being an Xavier fan: his son is an assistant coach for the team. In fact, he's been caught on camera at previous Xavier games, including a happier moment earlier Sunday night.


This being 2016, though, it didn't take long for the Internet to pick up on Bill Murray's Sad Face, including giving him the "Crying Jordan" treatment.
