For some sports fans, it’s the most wonderful time of the year: March Madness. The marquee men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments are underway and already producing memorable moments.
Lots of folks have been glued to their televisions over the last few days, watching game after game. In years past March Madness has produced great memes. Remember the sad flute girl and crying Northwestern kid? This year is no exception.
Here are some of the memes and jokes thus far from March Madness, which has been characteristically full of upsets, huge plays, and big emotions.
Caitlin Clark and her dad
Caitlin Clark, the uber-popular superstar leading No. 1-seed Iowa in the women’s tournament, is a famously heated player. Her Hawkeyes easily dispatched 16-seed Holy Cross, 91-65, in their opening game. Even still, Clark was still getting into it with the referees. To be fair, she did take a nasty elbow to the face during the game.
But Clark’s father was frustrated with her antics from the stands. He seemed to exasperatedly tell his daughter to stop complaining, and lots of folks found it funny. It seemed like an interaction lots of people had with their dads in youth sports.
