Spencer Macke living as king for a day after making first shot

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It’s Spencer Macke’s world, and we’re just living in it.

Macke has seemingly been lifted to the heavens since getting carried off the WVU Coliseum floor following West Virginia’s 97-59 win over Texas, unwittingly providing the program with its most national exposure in years despite being its last man in the lineup.

ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt took that scene and ran with it, highlighting Macke’s first career field goal as “The Best Thing I Saw All Day” on his SportsCenter broadcast late Monday night.

ESPN wasn’t done with the Macke love-fest, once again highlighting the moment during Tuesday morning’s SportsCenter broadcast.
