March is hard on us all. 

For the teams who have had their NCAA championship dreams dashed, the tournament has another nickname - March Sadness. 

Here are the 10 saddest photos to look at while you cry over your busted bracket. 

Broken bracket/heart

When you realize that you had Baylor going all the way in your bracket and did not see a 57-56 loss to Georgia State in the cards. 

Absolute anguish

Injured guard Briante Weber was inconsolable after VCU's 75-72 loss to Ohio State.

When you just can't even

Iowa State lost to UAB 60-59 on the first day of the tournament and Jameel McKay was so over it. 

The Blazers just refused to let this young Cyclones fan's bracket flourish.

No shame in the Terrapins' game

Maryland's Jake Layman convincing Melo Trimble that hiding under his shirt is not the answer after losing 60-54 to West Virginia.

Bye-owa

A sad Hawkeyes fan cannot believe that his team was letting him down. Iowa ultimately fell to Gonzaga 87-68 on Sunday. 

At a loss

Villanova reverend Rob Hagan comforts JayVaughn Pinkston after the Wildcats fell 71-68 to the NC State Wolfpack. 

Soul-stealing dunk

Cincinnati's Quadri Moore lost his soul after a dunk from Kentucky. Send flowers. 

SMU sadness

When UCLA beat the Mustangs 60-59 and Ryan Manuel needed time to himself.  

No Hampton happiness here

This is a photo of Hampton on the way to its loss to undefeated No.1 seed Kentucky in the Round of 64. They know what they are in for.  

The show must go on
