Best GIFs of the 2013 NCAA Tournament

After Monday night’s championship game, another NCAA Tournament has been laid to rest, one team crowned champion and 67 others sent packing home empty handed. We all had a pretty good time though, right?

Just because the tournament ends Monday doesn’t mean we can’t stop enjoying the best moments. Even if you’re getting sick of watching Dunk City highlights over and over, images of crying fans and Bruce Weber staring mouth agape shall live on forever, as the folks say.

Here are some of the best .gif moments from this year’s tournament. Hover your pointer over the GIF to make it animate.

Sometimes, things just don’t go your way as a coach.

... even if you’re Rick Pitino.

There were happy fans.

And some rather sad ones.

There was also this guy wearing a Jim Boeheim mask. It’s difficult to tell his emotional state, but it probably involved beers.

And then, of course, there was Glitter Bro. We must all remember his infinite grace.

Above all else, the NCAA Tournament should be about good ol’ fashioned fun. These athletes are all awfully young, after all.

FGCU will remembered for two things. The dunks, and the chicken dance.

See, just some kids havin’ fun!

There were some pretty sweet basketball plays, too.

We could make a lot of these for just Michigan.

Yeah. They didn’t get to the title game by accident.

Then again, neither did Louisville.

D.J. STEPHENS DON’T BE MEAN.

Uh.
