Video: Murray State Gets Their One Shining Moment

by Dan Levy • Mar 18, 2010 4:50 PM EDT

In what's already the greatest first day in recent NCAA Tournament memory – including two overtime games in the first three results – the Murray State Racers pulled off the first major bracket-busting upset, defeating No. 4-seed Vanderbilt 66-65 in the West Region first round.



That's Murray State's Danero Thomas sinking the buzzer-beater. Expect to hear a lot more about Thomas and the Racers over the next couple of days. (One sad story you'll definitely hear: Murray State walk-on Picasso Simmons' mother was killed in a car crash earlier this week.)

But today? One shining moment, indeed.
