One Shining Moment | 2003 March Madness 

I've teared up twice in my life because of a Syracuse Basketball moment. Once was in 1987 and the spectre of a missed one-and-one free throw and, of course, Keith Smart's winning shot has lived with SU fans from that moment forward. Then again, right here in the final moments of this video, on that insane night in April of 2003. The sheer emotion of seeing Boeheim winninf in the same building in which SU played - and lost - that hearbreaking night in '87 was exhilarating. Those '03 kids were a special bunch. I remember my dad, brother and I grabbing each other and jumping up and down in the middle of our living room, our dog Luke barking up a storm and my mom coming out of the bedroom where she was hiding, afraid to watch the game. We lost my dad this year, but I thank god he was alive to see his team win it all. Nothing will ever tarnish that memory.

You’re a legend Luther Vandross

Goosebumps. Thank you for this. 🏀

Carmelo Anthony in 2:22, 2:30 and 3:01. He really was a great player in his younger age both in NCAA and NBA.

I was at the championship game was awesome

Is it just me or is the audio like vastly better for this one compared to ‘02?

I hope they do this for the Women this year!

So many of these guys had long NBA careers

Syracuse!!!!

They change back to a bad singer 2004. The score is also bad so now it’s bad in both ways.

the only reason Syracuse won that title is because Kansas couldnt buy a free throw lol. Kansas was the better team pretty much the entire game. and NO, im not a Kansas fan.
