The 2012 NCAA Tournament has been absolutely inundated with upset wins -- and we're only in the third round. Sunday saw another huge upset win, as the No. 11-seeded N.C. State Wolfpack put together a 66-63 victory to knock off No. 3-seeded Georgetown Hoyas. The win required a couple of last-minute misses by the Hoyas, but ended with a well-earned Wolfpack celebration. Check out the instant-classic reaction GIF after the jump.

Arguably the best part of the image is that you can see the ball whizzing by in the foreground as the attempted buzzer-beating three pointer by Georgetown clanged off the rim, ending the game with a win for N.C. State.
Some may be eager to start tagging the Hoyas with the label of “chokers.” For example:

But I think N.C. State earned this one. Besides, you’ve got to be heartless to not dig a bunch of players being happier than most people have any right to be. Really loving the bunny-hops from the head coach of the Wolfpack in this one.
This is far from the last jubilant celebration GIF we will see in this tournament, but it is, without question, the most recent.
