Creighton's littlest fan (and probably of all of March Madness) has become one of those NCAA Tournament personalities that are simply unforgettable.

Who is the baby Creighton fan?

It's Tommy Jay Ashworth, a baby boy just nine months old who is the son of Blue Jays guard Steven Ashworth, and who stole the show during Creighton's 89-75 win over Louisville in the first round of the NCAA Tournament as he cheered on his son from the stands in what is considered by many to be the most adorable fan ever.

The CBS broadcast cameras panned to the little boy wearing a blue team jersey and using headphones to cancel out the (admittedly loud) noise.

Steven himself spoke glowingly of his son days later in an interview with WOWT NBC Omaha.

"I'm super excited to welcome another Blue Jay to the family," Steven said for WOWT NBC Omaha a few days ago.

We'll have to see if a few years down the road, Tommy decides to take the same path as his father and we get to see him on the court trying to win March Madness. For now, though, he was a spectator at Creighton's big win, which included 22 points from his progenitor.
