Watch: Verne Lundquist mistakenly puts Georgetown in Final Four

Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports

Georgetown is on the lookout for a new head coach after firing John Thompson III, and they need to make a quick hire because according to Verne Lundqvist, the Hoyas are in the Final Four.

The CBS legend, known affectionately as "Uncle Verne," made a memorable slip on-air during the Florida-South Carolina Elite Eight game Sunday, claiming the winner plays Georgetown instead of Gonzaga in the Final Four.

The 76-year-old certainly deserves some slack for his illustrious career, but it's a humorous mistake nonetheless.
