VIDEO: R.J. Hunter re-enacts his dad's game-winning tumble

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

The best moment from an incredible Thursday of March Madness action undoubtedly belonged to Georgia State guard R.J. Hunter, whose game-winning 3-pointer lifted the Panthers over Baylor and provided a feel-good moment for the Hunter family.

R.J.'s father, Ron Hunter, is Georgia State's head coach, and his reaction to the three was almost as good as the shot itself. Coaching from a chair due to a torn Achilles, Ron went tumbling to the ground in celebration of his son's huge basket and the upset for the Panthers.

The fall actually cracked Ron's cast, forcing him to get a new one. It also provided some fodder for R.J., who re-enacted his father's fall much to the delight of everybody.

After hitting the game-winner for Georgia State to beat Baylor, R.J. Hunter reenacted his dad's (and coach's) memorable reaction.
