The Kansas Jayhawks essentially had the game won on Friday night. They led by 10 points with 2:30 left on the clock, and they had held a comfortable lead for much of the second half.
Michigan vs. Kansas reaction: .GIFs, tweets and more from the best game of March Madness
The final few minutes of Friday’s Sweet 16 battle between Kansas and Michigan were nuts. Naturally, Twitter was on point with their instant reaction.
Then, a KU collapse and an epic comeback from the Michigan Wolverines came.
With Michigan down by three, All-American candidate Trey Burke hit a three-pointer from about 27 feet out to tie the game. Kansas came down but did not score, sending the game into overtime. In the extra session, Michigan pulled out the 87-85 victory to pull off one of the greater comebacks in recent NCAA Tournament history.

With the two teams meeting up in Cowboys Stadium, one certain quarterback was the butt of hundreds of Twitter jokes.
Overtime in Cowboys Stadium so you know Romo is going to throw an interception

What a day for Tony Romo. He got a big new contract with 55 million guaranteed, and someone else is gagging at Cowboys Stadium for a change.
