Making live television isn’t easy. Everything is happening in the moment and production teams need to be ready for the unexpected. Then throw in March Madness, one of the most popular basketball tournaments in the world that is so popular due to its unexpected upsets and dream-making buzzer-beaters.
Those production teams REALLY have to be ready for anything. A good example happened early in the tournament, when Syracuse found themselves up 12,116 to 11 early in the first half.
Okay fine, it was a graphics error. Syracuse was likely closer to a score of… 12. Where’s the fun in that?
Nowhere, that’s where. The internet decided to take advantage of the moment by offering their own take on the matter.
Syracuse would somehow lose a ton of points but would win 60-56, and they will be heading to the dance.
