Not my favorite, but loved when Federiko ripped down 4 offensive boards in a row last Sweet 16

2006 LSU beating Duke and Texas beating West Virginia at the buzzer was a fun doubleheader.

2010 - was my freshman year at Baylor. We had a really fun team

- Quincy Acy
- Ekpe Udoh
- LaceDarius Dunn
- Corey Jefferson
- Tweety Carter
- Josh Lomers

Me and a bunch of baws including my roommates that I’ve known since 2nd grade all went down to Houston for Sweet 16/Elite 8

We SMOKED St Mary’s in S16. I remember their fans were so nice lol.

We also were going bucket for bucket w Duke in E8. There was a BOGUS charge call on Acy that was a block. Turned all momentum as it would have been an and one and Baylor lead if converted. iirc with like 2-3 min to go. Duke closed it out, whatever.

Best part was we randomly went to surface on I guess the off day and got shitfaced out there and created some drinking game, ‘beer bucket’ . Still played to this day when we all get together for a destination fantasy draft. Thank you for giving me a platform to reminisce.

Gonzaga/UCLA is GOATed

Washington/Uconn where Rip Hamilton makes a fadeaway after a mad scramble is great, too. There's many others.

Zona/Illinois elite 8 was painful. I was such a Salim Stoudamire stan.

Iowa v Florida on TV and Iowa v Nebraska live in Houston, 2026 with my 8 year old son being indoctrinated into a lifetime of masochism as an Iowa hoops junkie

I was at the 05 Kentucky Michigan State game in Austin. Zero connection to either team, didn’t care who won at all, and it was one of the most incredible games I’ve attended in person

The Mad Dog Mark Madsen dunking on Rhode Island in 1998

One of the best Elite 8 games ever. That Rhode Island team was absolutely loaded

Same here. I remember going to see Utah in the Sweet 16 as well. I remember Andrew Bogut was cussing out his entire team for like a minute straight.

I felt so bad for that Rhode Island team. I believe Jim Harrick said something about how they had their hearts cut out. Madsen did some stupid dance that drove me crazy.
