No. 7 seed Wisconsin advanced to the Sweet 16 thanks to a Bronson Koenig buzzer beater.
It’s been a crazy second round of March Madness this season and that continued with the late games on Sunday Night. No. 7 seed Wisconsin Badgers upset the No. 2 Xavier Musketeers 66-63 on Bronson Koenig’s buzzer beater. Out of a timeout the Badgers came out ready to win in regulation. Koenig grabbed the inbound pass and sent home the contested three point shot at the buzzer.
As a result of the shot, Twitter went crazy as the Badgers advanced to their third-straight Sweet 16 with Sunday’s upset win.
That is an INCREDIBLE SHOT. Bronson Koenig, your name will go down in history. COLLEGE BASKETBALL IS THE BEST.

This was just one of the great moments from the 2016 NCAA tournament. One Shining Moment will be filled with many memorable moments. Whomever has to edit the annual clip that is aired after the NCAA Championship will have a lot of work ahead of them as they decide what makes the cut and what is left out.
It’s crazy to think that there has only been two rounds of action so far. If this trend continues, then the Sweet Sixteen and the Elite Eight will be even more action packed and crazy. Don’t worry there will be more March Madness in four days.
