North Carolina lost the National Championship on a buzzer beater, and Crying Jordan broke the internet.
When the North Carolina Tar Heels tied the National Championship game with seconds to go against Villanova, we all knew there would be one of two outcomes in the near future. The first outcome would see the Tar Heels win one of their most memorable National Championships ever, further pumping up the already iconic lore the program has build.
The other outcome would see the Tar Heels lose on a buzzer beater, thus unleashing peak Crying Jordan on the internet.
It was the latter outcome the world has to love with.
Of course, all of the Crying Jordan memes popped up like never before — and it was either amazing or terrifying based on who you were.
I don’t care what you’re hipster approach to this is — the Crying Jordan meme is a damn treasure and it will remain as such forever.
