For every iconic moment we see on television during March Madness, there are many other captivating subplots going on at the same time.
Weaving them all together is what makes the best in the TV production business so great at what they do.
During CBS's coverage of UConn's improbable 73-72 comeback win over Duke in the Elite Eight, Braylon Mullins' 35-footer to beat the buzzer was obviously the focal point. But the network's camera operators also had to be ready for the reaction shots.
Shortly after the game ended, the NCAA released its own "sizzle reel" with 10 different angles of the key game-ending sequence and its aftermath that wonderfully captures the wide range of emotions.

One angle that didn't make the cut there was a reaction shot of CBS announcers Bill Raftery and Grant Hill as they joined play-by-play man Ian Eagle on the call.
It certainly was a magical moment for UConn. And a bitter defeat (once again) for Duke.
It's just another reason why we can't get enough of March Madness.
