If you were watching Iowa State and Stanford’s instant classic during March Madness on Sunday evening (and well into Monday morning), you were probably trying to find the words to describe what your eyes were seeing. The game was so mind-bending that even the TV announcers had to get super creative to describe it, but one call absolutely nailed it.

IT’S BRACKET MADNESS: Enter USA TODAY’s NCAA tournament bracket contest for a chance at $1 million prize.

Holy basketball, Batman! Stanford and Iowa State gave hoops fans the best game of the NCAA tournament thus far.
