addictedtoIU Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Thought the most recent one was Villanova vs UNC championship game 2 years ago. The buzzer beater at the last game of the season was dramatic. It was priceless to see MJ crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 If you are talking about in person, I was at the game in South Bend when Notre Dame beat UCLA and ended their 72 game winning streak. I was 14 and my Pony League coach rented a bus to take a bunch of kids from Ft. Wayne to see the game. I remember that there was a huge bonfire on campus at a pep rally before the game, and John Shumate told the students that they were going to win. I had held on to the ticket stub for a long time, and I am sure it would be worth something now, unfortunately it was ruined in a basement flood. As a side note, sitting about 2 rows in front of me on the bus was the now late Eugene (Gene) Parker who was all-state at FW Concordia High School, went on to play at Purdue, and became a highly successful sports agent before his passing a couple of years ago.

CampHoosier Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I will do other than IU games because of bias. The Syracuse-UConn 6OT game in 2009 was insanity. Big East Tournament and Johnny Flynn was on fire. I have never seen so many runs to tie a game back up in my life Here is the highlight. So great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoagieRoll Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 In person was the IU Kentucky game of 2011, second being the blowout of UNC the next year. On TV was definitely that MSU vs UK game when Patrick sparks hit that three to tie it. Seems like that ball bounced on the rim forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 1 hour ago, rico said: IU or otherwise...... Duke vs UK in 92 IU best would probably be 87 championship game against Syracuse Best game I saw in person was when Princeton upset UCLA in the 1st round of the 96 tournament. Actually wasn't the best played game but the significance of the game what made it the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 For me? Jan.19,1974. Austin Carr and the ND Irish upset the UCLA Bruins. Get this, UCLA had not lost a game in 1,092 days!! Think about that...... http://www.und.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/011714aaf.html Now if we're talikn' about IU BB, easy, Keith Smarts last second shot to win for a National Championship! Doesn't get any better than that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also at the Illinois game where Nick Anderson buried a 35 footer at the buzzer, right after we had hit our own shot. That's the quietest I have ever heard such a large crowd. You'd think you were in a library and I am not exaggerating. I was at the 1992 IU-Duke final four game and that was the ultimate ref hose job. Our crowd was "lively." I was not at the Keith Smart game live but that's the biggest winner to me because of what was at stake. Staying with games where I was not there live, you could throw in the Lorenzo Charles NC State game and the UNC Michael Jordan championship where the young fella from Georgetown panicked and threw it right to UNC on the last possession. Underrated point was the UNC player (maybe James Worthy) induced him to throw it to him. I have seen that move in pickup ball but at that level, it was remarkable. Danny Ainge's coast to coast drive for BYU in the NCAA tourney. then Tyus Edney (I think) did something similar for UCLA in the 1990s. Watshot is a no-brainer. It's obscure but Bobby Heaton throwing in a half court shot at the buzzer to beat New Mexico State to keep ISU's (led by Larry Bird) 1979 unbeaten streak alive.

Seeking6 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Watched? I'll throw the UConn/Syracuse 6 OT game 8-9 years ago. Usual suspects for IU games. Glad Proud brought up NC State. Nova beating Georgetown as well (even though I was pulling for Georgetown). Have to think a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEKA Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 1993 NCAAT vs. L'ville. Calbert staring down whatisname from the Cards after blocking a shot is seared into my memory forever. Amazingest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 The 1987 National Championship game was played at a very high level and came down to a last second shot. That one stands out more than any to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 As far as in person, I was at the Final Four game when Duke beat UNLV in Indy. As far as best college games in general, just a few that pop to mind: 6OT UConn-Cuse game Wat-Shot Nova-UNC Final Duke-UK regional final UK-Arizona Final in 97 (think it went 2OT’s) it wasn’t a really well played game, but Duke-Butler Final 87 IU-Cuse Final Those are just a few off the top of my head.
