Twitterverse jumps to the defense of crying Kansas fan
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

Some Twitter users are steering clear of the subject.
What do you think? Did CBS go too far?
