Scott Van Pelt Walks Pardon My Take Through His Emotions During Maryland's March Madness Buzzer Beater That Sent The Terps To The Sweet 16

On today's Pardon My Take... SCOTT VAN PELT! The legendary ESPN personality and longtime recurring guest of the show joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter on today's show to talk about his Terps, the tournament as a whole, how he watches the games, and more. 

The best finish of the 2025 NCAA Tournament through the first two round has undoubtedly been Derik Queen's Buzzer Beater on Sunday night that sent (4) Maryland to the Sweet 16 over (12) Colorado State. The Terrapins have been on the wrong side of game-winning shots multiple times this season, but when it mattered most, the freshman kept their season alive at the buzzer.

So, as one of the most notable Maryland alums out there, what was going through SVP's mind when this historical shot went down? He talked to the guys about it on today's show. Take a look...

Man, what a feeling that must be. Your alma mater's team that you live and die by making THAT shot in THAT moment, while watching it all unfold with your family? That's so cool. 

There truly is nothing like the NCAA Tournament. For the players, coaches, alumni, fans, etc. It brings everyone together and provides so many moments that are unforgettable. The best sporting event in the world!
