Video: Young Northwestern fan just became the biggest meme of the NCAA Tournament
Move over “Crying Jordan,” there’s a new basketball-related-upset-reaction meme in town.
During the second half of an NCAA Tournament game between Gonzaga and Northwestern on Saturday, the CBS television broadcast caught one young Wildcats fan’s reaction to a call, and seemingly nothing else on Earth has mattered since.

Within seconds, Twitter exploded with reactions to this young fan’s reaction.
I think we need Hysterical Northwestern Kid in a half-screen box down the stretch of this game.

The real question is whether or not this kid will be excited about his new celebrity status or mortified with the way he achieved it. This is a young boy we are talking about here, after all, and he might not be too excited that the nation has now seen him weeping bitter, angry tears.
He wasn’t alone in his sorrow, however, as Northwestern’s first tournament appearance in school history came to an end with a 79-73 loss to the Bulldogs.
Looks like SevenT at a Kentucky-Tennessee football game. Well us the long red mark on his cheek were he was cock slapped vicously…lol. Your my boy blue!
Just fell out of my chair, way too funny… The first picture NW-7T is dropping the F-Bomb.
So NW joined the SEC? Well that sucks.
He really looks/acts like most Ole Miss fans over the past two years.
You tried
And I succeeded.
Dude, you are such a douche. I seriously doubt you have “hundreds of friends” as you claimed in the past. Who even says that? I’ll tell you. Someone who doesn’t have any friends. You’re the kind of douche who keeps track of the number of women you’ve been with.
The man behind a Col Reb face calls someone a douche. Lol
The man who uses a word like “success” in internet trolling. Since you feel superior for winning at trolling, you’re about as successful as the pile of dog sh*t that happened to find itself under my boot.
I don’t get it. Is it because he has all of his teeth and appears to be a healthy person?
Lol…. yeah, that’s what it is.
Poor kid, make fun of an adult, go after a man that’s 40! “Mike Gundy”
Agreed… pick on a adult…
Read his lips, if that were my child he would have bigger problems than a meme on the internet.
