Walton with 44 vs Memphis 1973
1976 Indiana unbeaten
MSU with Magic and Kelser over Bird 1979
Michael Jordan shot 1982
NCState with Valvano 1983
Rollie Massamino and Nova 1985
1987 Indiana with Smart shot
2015 Duke
Nova 2016

I'll add the 1999 Duke-UConn game, and the 2005 Illinois-UNC game.

Duke's title in 2015 will always have a special place in my heart.

88 Kansas over Oklahoma too. 87-89 championship games are probably what hooked me on college hoops. (I sound like TC.)

I think Nova 2016 was the most exciting.......Bird/Magic most hyped......

NC State Houston and Nova over Hoyas also up there for me......

NC State Houston and Nova over Hoyas also up there for me......I was in Salt Lake City at U of Utah for that game. It was a highly contested game until MSU took over in the last couple minutes. No way that was over hyped. It was REAl...! Bird kept ISU right there. What was over hyped there was Mark Aguirre in the semis. Fat boy.

That Jimmy V NC State win was great to watch, as were both Villanova titles.

Certainly one of the most entertaining games in history IMO - the pace was non-stop exhilarating.

Nova in 2016 because of what it meant for the realigned Big East conference, but also because it was a hell of a game with an unbelievable finish.

2 others not mentioned:

(1) Kansas winning in 2008 over Memphis, after being down 9 with just over 2 minutes left

(2) Cheating a bit here....1991 semifinal between UNLV and Duke. UNLV was defending national champions and undefeated. Duke played a near perfect game. So much talent in that game: Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon, Greg Anthony, Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, Bobby Hurley.
