The idea of great plays in March Madness is relative to an extent; you have to have some sorry moments to juxtapose the better ones. This year's tournament had a lot of those struggle moments, but what made those types of moments special this year was their variety. You had everything from your crotch shots, to your socially inept diehard fans, to missed dunks. Check them out on the Biggest Fails of the NCAA Tournament GIF list. Hopefully we see less of these in tonight's championship game.

15. North Carolina Fan Cries Ugly

Round: Second

It wouldn't be surprising if North Carolina disowned him after this ugly show of emotion.

14. Arsalan Kazemi Tries to Throw it Down and Fails

Player: Arsalan Kazemi, Oregon

Look at Kazemi throwing it down...on himself.

13. Christophe Varidel's Cook Could Use Some Work

What if Varidel could actually cook edible food though? Cooking swag ain't his forte.

Round: Final Four

Not only did this charge almost give homie a face full (ayo!), it essentially sealed the deal for Michigan.

11. The Poorly Done Fist Bump

Don't try to play it off guys. We saw the awkwardness.

9. Big and Orange

Because fundamentals are too mainstream.

6. Reginald Buckner Can't Shoot Free Throws

To be fair he was 1-5 from the stripe. If that doesn't do it for you, we got no other justification.

5. Oregon's Band Has a Crazy Slow Reaction Time

Maybe they just wanted to touch the ball, because c'mon, no one's reaction time is that slow.

You know your career is on a bit of a down-slope if you're having these kind of problems.

You see Tim Hardaway Jr.'s face? That's the face of a man whose heart just broke for his teammate.

Peep the jazz hands.

1. Arizona Band Member's Horrific Dancing Skills
