March Madness 2023 fans rip TNT over viral crying Utah State cheerleader

Not everyone was thrilled with TNT’s broadcast of Utah State vs. Missouri on Thursday. As the opening day of March Madness 2023 got underway, the No. 10 Aggies faced off against the seventh-seeded Tigers in a South Region matchup in Sacramento. With less than two minutes to go in the second half and Utah State down by 12 points, cameras panned to an emotional Aggies cheerleader for several seconds. Unsurprisingly, the now-viral moment caused a stir on social media – with some fans criticizing the coverage. “Bruh why does TNT keep showing the crying Utah State cheerleader?? Chill,” one user remarked, while another said, “Seriously, TNT? Highlighting a crying cheerleader?”
