Still the greatest March Madness ever. The upsets, the shots, the comebacks and the greatest game winner in tournament history. 2016 was something else.
But don't forget about: Miracle on Ice 1980 Red Sox/Mets Game 6 1986 Christian Laettners shot in 1992 Clarks catch against Cowboys in 1982 Cardinals/Rangers 2011 game 6 Mario Chalmers game tying 3 in 2008 Webbers "phantom timeout" in 1993 Vinateri winning fg in SB 36. Twins Braves WS game 6 and 7 in 1991 Lorenzo Charles game winning dunk in 83 UMD Bulldogs ot national hockey championship in 2011!!
+Jeff Hietala Yes, you posted some of the best sports moments in last 35 years. I would also put Keith Smart's shot to beat Syracuse in 87. Another amazing moment was Jacoby Jones 70-yard TD catch to tie Denver in the 2013 Playoff game between Ravens and Bronces. Ravens would win in OT.
Greatest ending in sports history right there. Man made a shot that kids practice in their driveway, and I missed it because I forgot that game was that night 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Imagine you're watching on your phone. Your blood is pumping because the National Championship is tied with 4 seconds left. The ball is ready to be inbounded to Archidiacono...and your wifi decides to stink. Thanks AT&T, thank you very much.
04-09-2024- I would totally try and recoup my entire month of billing from them. The ending was so friggen awesome. The emotional roller coaster was 2nd to none. I am still in therapy behind it. Ha.
+Real As It Gets actually my dad told me some things about the fouls being called on us and not on them. After hearing about the refs I realized that we were the better team. Talking about Carolina 😊
+randomkids21 Lol your dad is probably a biased UNC fan so of course he would blame the refs, as a neutral spectator Villanova was the better team, they made more of out of their chances.
Not they weren't we were sloppy and the ghost fouls on us didn't help anything we should have won that championship not villinova. But this year we're going to each
randomkids21 that year of basketball I don't think anyone was a clear better team, tons of number 1 seeds going down in the regular season, I think there would be a different winner every time if we played the tournament over and over
Can watch that shot a million times and it still gives you chills. What a great moment, the song One Shining Moment lived up to its name this tournament
+MrCaliSports On the surface, it looks far worse than it actually was. All three of those teams saw massive changes to win more championships. The 2006 Heat compared to the 2012/2013 LeBron Heat were different group. Much different. Lakers ended up winning with Kobe/Gasol/Odom/Bynum/Fisher well after their 3-peat. The Spurs' last title was the Kawhi Leonard show, big difference from what it used to be.
As far as postseason, yes it is definitely better. However, the NCAA regular season does not compare to the NBA's regular season. In the NBA regular season you have history being made a lot during the regular season which is very entertaining to watch.
I love watching these no matter who wins the championship. Such a thrill and wonderful memories for all the participating schools, their fans, coaches and particularly, the young men who make up the teams. Win or lose, they should all be proud of what they accomplished. 15 years down the line, they'll impress folks by revealing they played in March Madness (heck, they'd impress me today). And realize what a major step that was and what awesome memories were created. Congratulations to all the teams that are apart of March Magic!
One of the coolest songs ever made. Still gives me chills after all these years. I miss playing basketball and being part of a team. You play for your brothers.
GO CATS GO!! CONGRATS VILLANOVA!!! And Rollie was there in person to see it himself too! I remember that game they won in '85, not much was better than that moment but this game tonight was surely one of them! GO CATS GO!! See ya at the parade in Philly! :-)
***** You hate me and you don't even know me..so you know, I live 2 hrs. north of Philly and I work, so I'm sorry to disappoint you but I won't be there for the parade...I'll hear about it and see it on TV later but I won't be there...NOVA NATION! :-)
When I think about amazing finishes in championship games, this one and the D2 championship game between Winona State and Barton College come to mind. Truly remarkable finishes in both games.
I can't believe it!!! National champs baby!!! Everyone doubted us, beautiful video that captured how great the tournament was down to the greatest shot in college basketball history! Lets go cats!
+novawildcats12 Nobody really doubted you. You shot at the very least 60% throughout the entire tournament. You shut down everyone you played except UNC and Kansas. You're all like the Spurs in your ball movement. The kenpom poll had you and UNC at 1 and 2 before the tournament. I didn't have you winning my bracket, but after watching your first few games, I knew that no one was going to stop you.
The 2015-16 Basketball season maybe one of the best seasons. With this unforgettable finish and two 3-1 comebacks by the Warriors in the Conference Finals and the Cavaliers in the Finals to end the championship drought.
+Bill Flaherty Wait, what? Wisconsin got one of the best spots in the video. They at least did right by that Koenig game winner. Wisconsin's games were pretty mediocre. The game vs. Pitt was one of the ugliest things I've seen in a long time. The other most highlight-worthy plays from the Xavier game were Koenig hitting the tying three (Which would have seemed repetitive to also show) and Showalter taking the charge, which I admit I wish would've been in there. Vs. Notre Dame the most highlight-worthy play by Wisconsin was Vito Brown's 3 to give them the lead late, but that wouldn't have made sense to show because we ended up losing that game. Honestly, I'm surprised that they didn't know Notre Dame's steal (foul) on Hayes to take the lead. Imo they did Wisconsin just fine here.
The pain of the game won't go away until we win our next title. But I love the ending to that video, because it was symbolic of the finish. They show UNC dominating, then hitting the three with our fans cheering like we won it all (because let's face it, had it gone to OT, we would have won), but what's this? Jenkins hits the game-winner.
I remembered when the late Lorenzo Charles slammed in the game winner for N.C. State vs Houston and Phi Slamma Jamma back in 1983 from my hospital bed. This game here ranks up there as one of the best games ever, capped off by Kris Jenkins...from my hometown here in D.C. I'm a Georgetown Hoyas fan for life, but that night as much as a hated rival Villanova is in the Big East, I was a WIldcats fan. R.I.P. Rollie Massimino.
I love March madness, it's always sad to see teams lose, but it makes it interesting, It was one amazing year, and one of the bests of all time, My dream is to make it into college basketball and play in March madness, then go pro
^ Yeah totally agree with that. There were an insane amount of ridiculous buzzer beaters and they ran through all of them right at the beginning when usually they wait until the solo near the end of the song and run them with the commentator calls. That would have been perfect for this tourney but for some reason they went away from that. Hope they go back to it in future years.
This may go down as the most impressive tourney run by a team maybe ever. They beat UNC Kansas Oklahoma and Miami. Blew OU and Miami off the court. Shoot more than 58% from the floor in 5 of their 6 games. Think about that. They shattered records. Shattered them. And played the sort of defense every coach in the world tries to get his players to play. Nova has now entered the elite. They were good. Now they're great.
Actually, when you live in Philly, Nova is polarising. Never liked Rollie, never liked the Fieldhouse, always rooted for the other 4. Jay Wright has made me like this team. He's very Main Line, but not obnoxious-- not an easy task. They just didn't have the depth, Arcidiacono, or Ochefu this year. Just shows this tournament will eat you alive if anything's missing. Here's hoping Sixers draft Hart with one of their fifty picks.
So surprised to see Craig Sager, a longtime Turner Sports host and reporter, back on the March Madness stage, sharing the spotlight with the real #1 stars of March Madness: Allie LaForce and Tracy Wolfson, although Sager had been battling leukemia since the summer of 2014.
Nowadays it’s just Tracy Wolfson and Allie LaForce covering, or should I say, hosting, NCAA March Madness, including the Final Four and the National Championship, together!
As a Saint Joseph's fan, this wasn't easy to watch. But what a game, from a tournament that was nothing short of amazing. I'm glad my hawks made a bit of a run but give credit where credit is due Nova showed up in their One Shining Moment
+Rick Manit I know it is a top topic in Philly whether or not to root for Nova if you are an alum of another philly school. But for me, the Big 5 operates differently than a regular conference. One school's success do not directly affect another because they are out of conference games (Lasalle/St Joe exemption). As a Nova alum, I root for St Joes during their run with Nelson or Temple during the Chaney years. Also as a PSU Nittany Lions alum, I will not root for any other B10 schools regardless. It is just a different dynamic.
+Penncrow19 i see what u mean. But its bitter between us and nova i like the rest of the big 5 but nova. In the A10 we all root for eachother. The division is a community.
Still the greatest March Madness ever. The upsets, the shots, the comebacks and the greatest game winner in tournament history. 2016 was something else.
What abt after this year ?
@@jacob45415 2016 simply because the final was way better
the greatest game-winner still belongs to LAETTNER....in Philly :)
@@rwolfman2099 no it does not
@natewolfphoto they don't call it "THE SHOT" for nothing. ;)
One of the best Championships in sports history congrats Villanova!
Yep, a game to remember :D

I'm a huge UNC fan and I'm sad we lost I truly do think Villanova was the better team. Congrats to Villanova!

Anyone rewatch these every year for the nostalgia 😕
Man looking back 2016 was just an amazing year for basketball. March Madness and the nba were incredible!
It was an amazing year in general.
Can watch that shot a million times and it still gives you chills. What a great moment, the song One Shining Moment lived up to its name this tournament

+KMC Nah bro, I still prefer NBA over NCAA anyday, BUT there are some things that are better in college bball than the NBA.
Yes

THE BEST ONE SHINING MOMENT EVER.

Best game ever
I get chills... specially at the end.
i did the whole time 💀
this song used to make me cry i don't no why i just love sports
The 2015-16 Basketball season maybe one of the best seasons. With this unforgettable finish and two 3-1 comebacks by the Warriors in the Conference Finals and the Cavaliers in the Finals to end the championship drought.
This might not be on topic, but for Baseball in 2016, The Cubs ended their 108 year championship drought
One of the people who put this together definitely went to Notre Dame lol
+Vladimir Lenin also seemed to love Miami. And as usual Wisconsin gets dissed yet again. Only one maybe 2 highlights Vs Miami 4 if I counted right.

I came here to say the same thing! Sheesh. Way too much ND
+Real As It Gets because they didn't cause any upsets. And weren't important this year.
The greatest video of all time

That's cause it's in Delco, but we'll share ;)
Actually, when you live in Philly, Nova is polarising. Never liked Rollie, never liked the Fieldhouse, always rooted for the other 4. Jay Wright has made me like this team. He's very Main Line, but not obnoxious-- not an easy task. They just didn't have the depth, Arcidiacono, or Ochefu this year. Just shows this tournament will eat you alive if anything's missing. Here's hoping Sixers draft Hart with one of their fifty picks.
