Bill Murray knows all about the pressures of high level basketball.

This is a man who starred in Space Jam. So he knows about the pressures of bouncing an orange ball in front of millions - he’s seen it and he’s worn the jersey.

However, when showing up to witness Wisconsin pull off an astonishing buzzer-beating NCAA victory over his favourite college team Xavier last night, his ensuing hangdog expression quickly became a new heart-breaking meme for the ages.

Earlier in the game it was all going so well for Xavier, who his son is an assistant for, as seen here with some first-rate Murray finger pointing.
