March Madness can Dear Utol (2025): Chick! Episode 47be absolutely brutal.
At the end of the day, only one team is going to earn the national title. This means 63 sets of hopes and dreams will get crushed along the way.
SEE ALSO: Twitter mourns the millions of brackets lost with Wisconsin's upset March Madness winNorthwestern's journey through the madness was the program's best ever, considering they've never made it to the NCAA tournament before. But the road ended on Saturday when Northwestern fell to top-seeded Gonzaga 79-73.
While the loss was sad, it became gut-wrenching after a controversial call by the game's officials. Northwestern was in the midst of a game-changing scoring run when a dunk was blocked by Gonzaga. Replay showed that Gonzaga's defender had reached through the net to block the shot, which should have been ruled a foul.

It wasn't, and Northwestern's head coach went ballistic, running onto the court in protest. Unfortunately, that action drew a technical foul. Gonzaga went on to seal the victory.
Predictably, Twitter heaved into an uproar when the call was blown and many reactions became attached to one crying kid in the game's attendance, who clearly had his heart broken by the officials' decision.

Many basketball fans, both casual and serious, immediately felt affinity for the kid and the sheer enormity of his emotion for his favorite team. If you've ever had a favorite team in any sport, a team that you truly and unabashedly love, you will know the feeling.
In this particular kid's instance, he has a very real reason to feel this strongly about Northwestern. He is, after all, the son of the athletic director for the university.

Even though Northwestern's journey has come to a bitter end, there is still much about their season to celebrate, not least of which is the level of support from their fans.

After the game, NCAA officials released an statement confirming that they had made a mistake by missing the call. And while there's no guarantee Northwestern would have won if the call had been correctly made, the situation leaves a dreaded gray area of "what if" that always accompanies these moments.
There's always next year.
