Fans get emotional. It's part of the madness that goes along with the NCAA basketball tournament.

But broadcaster CBS is getting some heat from its viewers over repeatedly cutting to a camera shot of a young Kanasas fan in tears during the last few minutes of the game against Stanford.

Take a look at some of the reactions.

I hate Kansas don't get me wrong. But CBS filming a crying kid is absolutely pathetic. #stopbullying

I don't mind Kansas losing but don't show that poor little kid crying for that long on national tv that's just mean #MarchMadness #CBS
