Louisville took a 73-72 lead with five seconds left in the second round of the 1981 NCAA Tournament on a short, fadeaway jumper in the lane. The Cardinals, trailing by three, had hit a baseline jumper to cut the deficit to one with 23 seconds left in the game. Facing full-court pressure, the Razorbacks responded by throwing a full-court outlet pass...

The Wolfpack beat two No. 1 seeds (also, No. 1 seed Virginia), No. 3 seed UNLV and No. 4 seed Georgia on their way to the title. MARCHING TOW...
Northern Iowa was responsible for one of the first big NCAA tournament upsets after the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The Panthers seem to have a knack for big moments in March, whether it was their upset of No. 1 seed Kansas in 2010 (Ali Farokhmanesh says hello) or their buzzer-beater against Texas in 2016, which is also on this list. In the...
Back in 1990, when UConn earned a No. 1 seed for the first time in program history, the Huskies coasted to the Sweet 16 after winning their first two games by at least 20 points. But No. 5 seed Clemson posed a much harder challenge. After UConn rebounded a missed free throw from Clemson and called a timeout, the Huskies drew up a full-court pass to...

Sure, everyone knows about thatChristian Laettner shot, but what about his other NCAA tournament buzzer-beater? Laettner was the inbounder and as the broadcast notes, UConn declined to defend him, which proved to be the H...
Lorenzo Charles and Kris Jenkins' buzzer-beaters go in a special category as shots that each won a national championship but Christian Laettner's second NCAA tournament buzzer-beater — the one to beat Kentucky — isn't far behind. The Blue Devils were the reigning national champions and they were national runners-up in 1990. These were two powers pl...
Georgia Tech initially had 2.2 seconds for its final play and it put four players around the circle at midcourt but the ball was knocked out of bounds, giving the Yellow Jackets the ball near halfcourt.
