We didn’t have to wait until Championship Monday for March Madness to provide us with one shining moment. Thursday’s opening round provided plenty of memorable moments (St. Peter’s, New Mexico State, Richmond, etc.), but it was a Hoosier cheerleader who stole the spotlight.

With officials unable to jar the ball loose, they implored the help of the Indiana spirit squad. Turns out, all they needed was the perfect cheer!

WATCH (volume up, way up!):

Unafraid of the March Madness spotlight, Hoosier Cassidy Cerny, with an assist from teammate Nathan Paris, rose 13 feet into the air to snag the misplaced ball. As they did so, play-by-play announcer Andrew Catalon unearthed a call so instantaneously legendary, Gus Johnson may soon sound like he’s in need of treatment for low-T.

"Get the cheerleader up!" barked Catalon. That’s exactly what happened as the crowd rose to their feet and a buzz overtook the arena.

"Get her up there. This is how you do it," shouted Catalon, building ready to explode.
