Seventh-seeded Wisconsin nipped second-seeded Xavier, 66-63, on Sunday night, thanks to Bronson Koegnig's last-second heroics.
On a play that will live on in March Madness lore, the junior point guard drilled an unforgettable game-wining buzzer-beating trey to help Wisconsin avoid overtime and advance to the East Region semifinals.
Wisconsin will play sixth-seeded Notre Dame on Friday night.
Watch Koenig's dramatic buzzer-beater and Wisconsin's celebration in the video above (here's a cool angle of it, too). And hear from him in the video below.

To no surprise, the Wisconsin basketball family celebrated the win on Twitter.
