i know your iq is very low cus youre in the army, but what do you expect them to do when everyone rushes the court... when the game is over the ref blows the whistle... have you never played or watched basketball before?
2016 was just such an insane year. so many buzzer beaters, so many upsets, and that comeback after being down by 12 with 40 seconds left. it had more moments like that than the next 7 years combined.
unc vs villanoca will forever live on as the greatest college basketball game of all time. I cant see other final being more dramatic than that one. i remember watching it live and I couldn't believe what I was watching
I know 1983 was a long time ago, but the last-second dunk by NC State's Lorenzo Charles off the Derrick Whittenburg air ball to beat the stacked (Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Michael Young) Houston Cougars squad is the essence of March Madness in a single play. Despite not being a fan of either team, I jumped off my couch and screamed with joy over the beauty I had just witnessed.
Yeah, can't believe that ones not in here. NC State ran the tables in the ACC championship that year just to get in and then one the whole darn thing. I still remember Jim Valvano running around looking for someone to hug.
Honestly you could make 2/3rds of a video like this with just 2019 UVA highlights. It's like they signed a contract with the NCAA agreeing not to win any games that weren't off the charts crazy nail biters.
one unfortunate thing following the incredible buzzer beater at 1:17 - the next game northern iowa found themselves in a similar situation but with a lot more time on the clock and they were down, this same guy chucked it from half court with like 5 seconds left, missed badly and they lost the game. but at least in this moment he was perfect
There was some moments that were underrated like South Carolina comeback or these other comebacks but the teams lost the buzzer beaters upsets and clutch shots are always amazing. There was couple more I would of added for sure UNI clutch shot against Kansas Murray st and western Kentucky buzzer better. Xavier k state back and forth game
There is an argument to be made that Mario Chalmers' shot in the 2008 National Championship is the most important clutch shot in NCAA Tournament history. 7:02 1) It happened it the championship game, so that makes it automatically more important than all other clutch shots that happened in earlier rounds of the tournament. 2) Two other shots that happened in the championship game were Jenkins shot to win against UNC and Charles dunk of the airball to lift NC State over Houston. Those were game winners, but in both cases the games were tied when those shots went in. Had Jenkins missed or Charles missed those games go into overtime. If Chalmers misses his shot the game is over and Memphis wins the title. 3) It was found out a few months later that Memphis had an ineligible player on its team and had to vacate all their wins from that season. Had they won the title they would've had to vacate that as well. Not only did Chalmers' shot prevent Kansas from losing by sending the game into overtime, but it also prevented there from being no champion whatsoever as the championship does not go to the runner up. There just would've been no champion for that season, making the season kind of pointless. This is just an opinion however and if you have a different one it's fine.
I saw Chalmer's, Laettner's, Edney's and many others live. My favorite two game winners/buzzer beaters in my known world are Bryce Drew over Ole Miss and Clayton Custer over Tennessee. Mid-majors winning will ALWAYS have more meaning for me (haves vs have nots).
The refs won that game for Kansas, not Chalmers. Proper officiating would've resulted in a 20+ point win for Memphis. Most athletic college team of all-time.
@@instig8torConsidering that Kansas and Memphis were pretty much dead even in a lot of statistical categories for the season: Points Per Game: KU: 80.7 Memphis 80.2 Opponents Points Per Game: KU: 61.3 Memphis: 61.6 Rebounds Per Game: KU 38.7 Memphis 40.8 Blocks Per Game: KU 6.0 Memphis 6.2 Kansas had only 3 losses and Memphis ended with 2 losses and considering the Big 12 was a much tougher conference, than Conference USA was back in 2008, I don't think that Memphis was that much more athletic or talented than Kansas' team was.
How in the sam hell do you make this kind of video and not include perhaps the best and most exciting NCAA tournament games in history? K-State/Xavier in double OT almost caused Gus Johnson to have a stroke, and gave us one of the great impromptu Gus-isms of all time, referring to Jacob Pullen, as he hit a 3 late in double overtime: "He's in shape!"
Buzzer beaters are all good and dandy but the greatest March Madness was 1997 when Arizona took down THREE number 1 seeds to win it all. With the likes of Mike Bibby, Miles Simon, and the great Jason Terry, this team had the God's on their side. These 3 teams they beat weren't just 1-seeds, they were three of the most storied names in basketball: NORTH CAROLINA with Vince Carter. KENTUCKY with Ron Mercer. KANSAS with Paul Pierce. Now THAT'S a most memorable moment of all time. Buzzer beaters happen all the time... this doesn't.
fun fact- when Loyola went to the final four they won their first three games by a combined total of 4 points edit: the proof that those weren't just lucky games is that they won their 4th game by 16, and when they lost to Michigan, I remember actually crying after this (I was like 8 years old) they were leading the whole game, (they were up by 7 at half) and ended up losing by about 10, but they were leading against a 3 seed for the whole game.
Can we add the sheer fact that 3 out of 4 of the 2024 March madness final 4 finalist are not big schools in most sports Purdue ( an ENGINEERING SCHOOL) North Carolina state ( last won the title when I was not even a year old (1985 , the tournament was in March I was born in December 1984 ) Alabama ( A FOOTBALL SCHOOL
Yes, he had a great tournament but there was never an insane moment besides the “Cardiac Kemba” shot he hit in the Big East tournament. That shot wasn’t in the actual march madness tournament
i was at the game, rooting for houston, everybody was on there feet jumping and shouting and as soon as the shot went in houstons crowd went so silent you could hear your own heartbeat. thats literally how quite it got. 🤣
How nasty was the unc over Kentucky win though?! And remind me how many of the guys on unc made it to the nba? Maybe Justin Jackson ? While Kentucky had monk, fox, adebayo?
