Former Celtics player and assistant coach Walter McCarty's Evansville Purple Aces pulled off the impossible on Tuesday night.
McCarty, who was hired as Evansville head coach last year, led his team to a crazy 67-64 victory over No. 1 ranked Kentucky. Evansville was a 25-point underdog.
To make the improbable victory even more special, McCarty coincidentally was an NCAA champion with Kentucky back in 1996. He and his players rightfully celebrated the epic win in style:
It doesn't get much better than that.
And of course, it would be remiss of us to celebrate McCarty without including one of NBC Sports Boston's own Tommy Heinsohn's most notable calls:
