Referee paused game for Liberty's JC Shirer Jr

In a recent NCAA tournament game, Liberty University's basketball team faced a tough loss against the University of Oregon. The final score was 81-52, which meant Liberty was eliminated from the tournament. Despite the disappointing outcome, one referee made a special effort to allow Liberty guard JC Shirer Jr. to play. The referee stopped the game, claiming there was a "wet spot" on the court, giving Shirer a chance to substitute in for the last minute of the game. However, there was no visible wet spot. This act by the referee was a touching gesture. It allowed Shirer to experience a "March Madness moment," even in the last moments of the game. This scene highlights the spirit of the NCAA tournaments, where even reserve players can shine. Shirer's chance to play reflects the unique and memorable moments that March Madness is known for.
