It's like a scene out of "Groundhog Day" ... 'cause Bill Murray is celebrating UConn winning a national championship once again -- sharing an awesome moment with his assistant coach son right after Monday's big game!!

The legendary comedian's second oldest child, Luke, is quite the basketball guru -- he joined UConn in 2021 ... and was a huge part of the Huskies' offensive success this season.

Bill has always been supportive of his kid at his previous stops like Xavier and Louisville ... and was most recently spotted cheering for UConn during its second-straight title run this season, so it's no surprise he was present for the huge matchup against Purdue.

The "Ghostbusters" star looked like he was part of the team when they partied after the 15-point victory ... even hopping onstage to hoist the new trophy.

Bill was super proud of his son ... shaking him a little bit and sharing a conversation with him on the hardwood after the confetti fell from the rafters.

Bill had a bit of fun during the game, too -- after all, it was a pretty stress-free competition -- the funny guy took advantage of his time on the jumbotron by getting in a flex-off with Purdue alum and former NFL superstar Drew Brees!!

La directora del casting de "Tulsa King" asegura que renunció después de que Sylvester Stallone insultara a los extras en el set, aunque el director del show le dice a TMZ que no se lanzaron tales insultos y que renunció porque le llamaron la atención sobre su trabajo.

La supervisora de casting Rose Locke habría afirmado que Sly y el director llamaron a los extras "feos", "bolas de manteca" y se refirieron a un actor como un "gordo con bastón". Una página de Facebook de los actores de Atlanta afirma que el hombre con bastón dijo que el comentario "le había dolido en el alma."

De acuerdo a un post de Facebook, Locke también afirmó que Sly habría dicho: "Trae a chicas jóvenes y guapas para que estén cerca de mí".

Billy Dee Williams made his stance on actors in blackface clear ... saying he's all good with it, 'cause acting is acting -- and an actor should be able to do what they want in their craft.

Billy said Olivier's performance left him laughing out loud, because LO was lambasting stereotypes associated with Black folks -- and he says he found it humorous as opposed to offensive.
