Fans Mistakenly Congratulate Jordan Peele After Jordan Poole's Buzzer-Beater

Timothy RappMar 19, 2018

Comedian and director Jordan Peele is fresh off winning the best original screenplay Oscar for Get Out at the 90th Academy Awards. But he's also receiving plaudits for hitting a game-winning shot for Michigan at the NCAA Men's Division I tournament:

That credit, of course, should be going to Jordan Poole, Michigan's freshman guard, whose buzzer-beater sent the No. 3 Wolverines to the Sweet 16 over the No. 6 Houston Cougars on Saturday. Poole doesn't seem too bothered by people confusing him with Peele, however:

It's just the latest surreal moment for Poole.

"After the shot went in, I didn't know it went in," he told Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com. "I looked at the bench. I was always thinking if I hit a shot like that, I didn't want to get tackled. So I was kind of trying to avoid everybody, but I gave up and they tackled me, and it was an amazing experience."
