That 2016 game still is the most exciting and amazing championship I’ve ever seen. I was 16 and man that buzzer beat was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever seen
Obviously pre-planned. My favorite was in 1997 when he went with "A 'Miles'tone victory for Arizona" and Billy Packer immediately one-upped him with "Simon says Championship" I have to think Billy got a talking to after that, because he never tried it again.
Duke getting back on their feet to win it in 1991, getting their pride back as well as their first title, was one of the great stories from all sports. Good game, Blue Devils and coach K!
That was a wild one with the way they dominated everyone. 2016 had that one game that was a huge domination in the final four, but they were the underdog all of the games. It was so weird for Philly to have a team not only be the favorite but actually play and dominate like a favorite would.
@@xtlm they beat Buddy Hield’s Oklahoma team by like 40 in the Final 4. Unfortunately I know first hand how good that Nova team was, as a Michigan fan who had to play them in the title game. Donte DiVencenzo barely played all year for them and torched us. That team was ridiculously deep
1997 with UofA being the only team to ever knock out all possible 1 seeds they could face and the roster those teams had was unreal compared to what UofA had. That game going to overtime, my Mom drove us around the neighborhood and we listened on the radio while my dad was probably breaking things back at home haha. Bear Down.
I remember as a kid, I would watch every NCAA tournament and basketball title game. Every time I watched this, one thing reminds me in watching this it these buzzer beaters. That’s brings so much excitement.
??? Your last 2 sentences make zero sense. Incoherent. One thing reminds you… this it these? WHAT? 😳👀 Last sentence is easier to correct and understand: THAT (not THAT IS) brings excitement
Still amazed by putting the championship game in a domed football stadium. Every year guaranteed drama in front of the biggest single game crowd for basketball in the world and the energy is off the charts. Not even the NBA can match it.
The UNC NOVA game was a thriller bcoz of 2 reasons A family was torn bcoz one son went to NOVA one went to North Carolina A literal mop the floor moment ( Ryan Archidiacano literally wiped the spot where Chris Jenkins took the game winning basket )
Had to look for this comment because I was thinking the exact same thing. That was so suspect. Absolutely no contact. Man, if I were a Seton Hall fan, I'd never get over that one.
In that 1979 video clip, did anybody noticed Magic Johnsons pass? The confidence, smartness and courageous play. Unbelievable. He was actually looking at the cheerleaders/stands when he made that play.
@7:23; the moment I officially became a Michigan fan and never looked back. (I was on the fence of who to choose between them and Michigan State at the time, and while I wasn't quite aware of it at the time, this decided it and within a couple of years it was set in stone that I was to bleed maize and blue for the rest of my life.)
James Worthy positioning is a smart player in itself. Smart players do things unexpectedly. Just look at what Magic Johnson did at the end of the ncaa title game of this video in 1979. So genius. It surprised me that I didn't know about it till I saw this video. Wow!
Magic, a rookie, became the third player to win an NCAA title and NBA title in back-to-back years. Magic became the first and only rookie to win the NBA Finals MVP award. Ps Much Gratitude
No disrespect to all of the other teams but I think Kansas' championship in 2022 was the best just because of the incredible comeback that took place. Rock Chalk Jayhawk Baby! (and yes this is slightly biased). Also Mario Chalmers shot for Kansas in the national championship of 2008 was one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
The Seton Hall vs Michigan game was the worst foul call I’ve ever seen. They should’ve investigated that official because there was literally no foul at all. He threw the game!
3:33, WHy is there no 3-point-line here? Or am I just not seeing it because of the low resolution of the footage? I'm very confused. 10:20, Lol, was this guy the radio announcer for the other team playing Arkansas, (Oh, had to look back in the video) Duke's radio play-by-play analyst? He looked mad, hahaha! I really don't like it when Duke succeeds in basketball as a Kentucky fan. I am starting to have disdain for Arkansas' success too though, lol. Eric Musselman is a fantastic coach, he's going to win a championship one day, possibly in 4 years, just watch him! 14:53, "Has New Orleans given us Final Fours or what?'' Many questions, but who said that? 15:59, I love the sound transition here on earbuds on loud volume. 19:00, lol, this guy here in the glasses, flinches because of the confetti banging noise. He legitimately looked somewhat scared though. 22:22, jumping in excitement! 4:51am, 02/27/2023
3:33 - The 3 point line didn’t come to all of college basketball until 1987. 10:20 - Billy Packer was talking about how Duke needed to move with more urgency than they were. He went to Wake Forest and was an ACC guy through and through. 14:53 - Billy Packer said that. To that point in time, every national championship game in the Superdome in New Orleans had been a classic game. UNC beat Georgetown in 1982 on Michael Jordan’s game winning shot and James Worthy catching Fred Brown’s errant pass. Indiana beat Syracuse in 1987 on Keith Smart’s game winner. UNC defeated Michigan and the Fab Five in 1993 when Chris Webber forgot how many timeouts he had. Then this game in 2003 when Syracuse beat Kansas by 3. 15:59 - Ok 19:00 - Indoor explosions can make anyone jump whether they’re expecting it or not. 22:22 - That Villanova team was incredible. They dominated all tournament. I’d jump up and down too…
Well the 3 point line came into all of NC2A basketball in the 1986-87 season, but some of the college used the 3 pt. line in their conference play before the NC2A had it some as of the ACC and Big 10, the ACC had it shorter then 19 feet
4:27-4:32- ANYONE ELSE NOTICE when Louisville stole the final pass, as the clock expired, the guy unnecessarily continued towards a layup where the Duke player BRIEFLY clotheslined him- you may have to pause to see that!- then the Louisville guy threw the ball directly at him AS LOUISVILLE CELEBRATED 👀😳😂 Duke player expected it though, as you can see him flinch and brace before the ball hit him. REQUIRES POINT GUARD’S COURT VISION TO CATCH THIS SEQUENCE. ALWAYS READY 🏀 🏆
That Seton Hall Michigan game is a tournament classic nobody talks about. As a Georgetown Hoyas fan in the 80s, John Thompson got too much credit for being a great coach. He was a great recruiter but a poor strategic decision maker. He knew Villanova could not play an up tempo game but allowed them to control the tempo when Georgetown was deep enough to pressure them and wear Nova down. He was exposed this game and he didn’t reach the finals again.
No 1978, 77, 76, or 75? that's not a surprise considering who produced the video. Should have at least done 45 or 50 years (but 42 years is an odd duck).
For me, 1993 still hurts a little, even though we would've had to give that title back had we won it (therefore, the timeout never happened). That being said, Michigan is the uncrowned 2013 champions.
They were both good, but the 2020 KU team was one of the most dominant I've ever seen. They played perimeter defense at a UVA/Texas Tech level and had plenty of offense. I'm a KU fan and don't remember any other squad except maybe 2008 that was so dominant. That team was winning games in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s - it just didn't matter what opponents did it was so hard to match up to them. That game against Dayton early in the year felt like a game in March for sure. Those guys were really, really good too.
Smart drained a jumper with 4 seconds left. Yet the clock still ran down to a second. I hope the clock operator never worked another game. Syracuse should have inbounded the ball with 4 seconds left.

I had UNC winning that year in my family pool. It was so sad, but it is so iconic.
Not for UNC fans like myself. But 2017 softened that for us with a chip. Redemption is sweet.
UNC defense was non existent on that final play. Just awful
Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord & believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
@@caidendaniel24this is about basketball…
Jim Nantz really goes for a one-liner every single time
Obviously pre-planned.

I have to think Billy got a talking to after that, because he never tried it again.
Since 1994 he has something special to say on every championship team at the end of the game
In 2010 and 2011 you just know he was dying to say “Butler did it!”

I remember that pass. I was watching live.
That 2021 baylor team was incredible
Seriously one of the best teams in the last 25 years that Baylor team could run with any of them
Nova 2018 was better
And none of them except Davion made it in the league. Crazy.
It was. People forget that Coach Drew inherited a mess when he came to Baylor, and, 20 years later, he delivered a championship.
There were like five of those games that were decided by a final shot, but only three where there was a game winner within the last 3 seconds.
Yeah nova,state and I forgot

It would have been the greatest finish in National Championship history had the shot been good…
No kidding. And forever. Considering the Two teams and the Location. Hoosier Country; David vs Goliath

Awesome documentary , loved it ....
I'm still stumped how Brown gave the ball right to Worthy without even being pressured.
James Worthy positioning is a smart player in itself. Smart players do things unexpectedly. Just look at what Magic Johnson did at the end of the ncaa title game of this video in 1979. So genius. It surprised me that I didn't know about it till I saw this video. Wow!
He lost his dribble and panicked. Why would the opponent be standing there. It made no sense so he just assumed it was a teammate.
Magic, a rookie, became the third player to win an NCAA title and NBA title in back-to-back years. Magic became the first and only rookie to win the NBA Finals MVP award.
Ps Much Gratitude
All that and he was not yet 21.
13:54 Where were these guys twenty years earlier when Lefty Driesell was coach and I was a UMCP undergrad?
4:25 At the end of the game, Danny Ferry asks Jeff Hall if he wants to play dodgeball. Hall says, “catch this m---f---!!!”
Another reason MJ is the GOAT. In addition to all the NBA titles, he also won it all in March.
Great memories! Great post for those who will see how the game evolved
And Uconn takes #5 in 2023!!
2:30 The best one ever, except maybe the one shown in the preview (though I'm biased towards my tag).

(and yes this is slightly biased). Also Mario Chalmers shot for Kansas in the national championship of 2008 was one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
In the Syracuse Indiana game, Alford should have been the player of the game. He made sooooo many clutch 3's. He was the real reason they won.
Just one more reason that 2016 had some of the greatest basketball of all time
The NBA, WNBA, and the NCAA all had championship winning shots in 2016
Some seriously questionable clock management in a lot of these games. There should've been 4 seconds left on the clock after that basket 5:00
That UNC bench when Webber walk was priceless 😂😂
In 1997, Jim Nance and Billy Packer had dueling puns when Miles Simon was Arizona’s MVP: “A milestone victory.” “Simon says, championship.”
