10 Shocking NCAA Tourney Moments!

Ronnie Flores — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 01:23:07 +0000

We’ve been watching the NCAA Tournament for 40 years now. It’s been a wild wide, with ups and downs and memorable moments and, of course, some moments players would like to forget because of the agony. The NCAA began seeding teams in 1979, the year the country got hooked on March Madness because of one Earvin Johnson (Michigan State) and Larry Bird (Indiana St.). That NCAA Final is still the most watched college basketball game, ever.

We take a trip back down memory lane 40 years to 1985, when the tournament was expanded to 64 teams and Villanova upset Georgetown and prevented a repeat title. Villanova shot nearly 79 percent from the field, something that would never happen in future title games since that was the final NCAA tourney played without a shot clock.

Here are the 10 most shocking moments of the big dance over the last 40 years.

UNLV Fails To Repeat

After the defending champs from Nevada-Las Vegas defeated Arkansas down in Fayetteville in a regular season showdown, the 1990-91 UNLV team looked unbeatable. It ran into a confident Duke team in the national semifinals, however, that it walloped the year before in the 1990 title game. Duke pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament in the modern era of seeding teams, and reinforced the notion anything can happen in a one-game setting. Duke was plenty better than it was the year before and perhaps UNLV was not as good as we thought in real time. The Rebels didn’t have a real back-up point guard to Greg Anthony (who fouled out vs. Duke) and didn’t have great depth without the services of Ed O’Bannon, who didn’t sign a Letter-of-Intent locking him into UNLV and instead went to UCLA, where he didn’t play his freshman season anyway because of an ACL injury.

Anti-Duke Sentiment Reaches A Ferver Pitch

After beating UNLV in 1991 and repeating as champions in 1992 over Michigan’s FAB 5, Duke's Christian Laettner, the first player to appear in four Final Fours, became the most hated player in NCAA history and progressively that hatred for Duke built up after Laettner moved on to the NBA following the 1991-92 season. Basically, many fans didn’t like Duke because of their success and the perceived notion it got the benefit of referee calls. Never was that ani-Duke sentiment stronger than it was in 2000-2001, when Duke defeated Maryland in the semifinals and Arizona in the championship at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. All the neutral crowd there heavily booed calls that went against Maryland. It was very noticeable and almost an embarrassing moment for the NCAA Tournament. Maryland coach Gary Williams was visibly upset, and there was a few non-calls vs. point guard Jason Gardner that really hurt Arizona in the title game. That fever pitch died down after that even though it occasionally flared up, but if it would have got any worse than 2001 it could have been a major turn off for fans of March Madness.

Chris Webber’s Timeout

Michigan’s FAB 5 didn’t play great against Duke as freshmen in the 1992 NCAA title game, but the Wolverines were a much better team in 1992-93. Michigan took on North Carolina in the title game and it came down to the wire at the Louisiana Superdome. Webber, Michigan’s best player, scored on an offensive rebound put back as Michigan trialed by one with under 40 seconds to go. North Carolina’s Pat Sullivan shot free throws with 20 seconds remaining, and missed the second. Michigan didn’t have any timeouts and Webber tried to outlet the rebound, but traveled right in front of the Carolina bench and it wasn't called. Already panicking, he started dribbling towards the Michigan bench and trialing by two, called a timeout his team didn’t have. It was a crushing moment for him, FAB 5 fans and youth basketball players who looked up to the trend-setting team. That Michigan team had ton of influence, even though its back-to-back championship appearances were later vacated by the NCAA. The timeout is also a painful reminder that the FAB 5 failed to win a national title or a Big Ten title.

Tyus Edney’s Mad Dash

Remember when Ed O’Bannon, the nation’s top recruit in 1990, missed his freshman year at UCLA? That meant he was eligible for the 1994-95 season as a redshirt senior and he made the most of it. UCLA was upset by Tulsa in the 1994 tournament and O’Bannon already knew he was coming back to school and on a senior season mission. UCLA was on the ropes in the second round vs. Missouri, trailing by one point when senior point guard Tyus Edney went the length of the court in 4.8 seconds and coverted a running lay-up to give UCLA a 75-74 win over Missouri. It was one of those tourney moments where fans will always remember where they were or what they were doing when it happened. After that game, it seemed UCLA was a team of destiny and one got the feeling the Bruins were likely to win it all. They did over defending champion Arkansas with O’Bannon leading the way, 89-78. Ironically, Edney did not play in the title game because of a wrist injury and it remains UCLA only NCAA title of the past 50 years.

Bill Self Beats The Odds

Kansas winning the 2022 NCAA title over North Carolina, 72-69, was a big moment for Blue Blood basketball and also for Kansas’ head coach. If you recall, Kansas’ program was at the center of the 2017–18 basketball corruption scandal that involved many schools associated with sportswear giant Adidas, plus some other schools. The FBI was involved and announced the arrest of 10 individuals associated with the sport, including four well-known assistant coaches. Self escaped with his job in-tact, as did Arizona’s Sean Miller, and Kansas’ title in 2022 highlighted how no one person is bigger than the sport, how the train continues to roll down the track and how mundane many NCAA regulations are. Much of the public sentiment surrounding these 10 individuals was the group did not deserve federal charges, even though a majority felt there was some punishment due to breaking of NCAA regulations (although not so much law breaking). Kansas’ title highlighted two main things that came out of the curruption scandal. One, the FBI and the media never had the smoking gun that would have made the general public be concerned about what was going on behind closed doors and two, he public really doesn’t care if basketball players get compensated for their abilities or for potential Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) value.

Bo Ryan Knocks Off Big Blue Nation

In the 2014-15, Kentucky entered the Final Four riding a 38-0 record with a star-studded team filled with McDonald’s All-Americans and five-star recruits, including freshman Karl-Anthony-Townes. Wisconsin had a terrific team led by Sam Dekker, but not one expected it to beat the Wildcats. Bo Ryan’s boys pulled off the upset, 71-64, to end the Wildcats’ season at 38-1. The 38 wins is tied with the 2012 Kentucky team for the most wins in men’s DI history. Duke went on to win the fifth and final title of the Mike Krzyzewski era over Wisconsin, but the upset highlighted how having star-studded teams or the best recruiting classes in the one-and-done era didn’t always mean success in the NCAA Tournament. The 2012 title is the only one for Kentucky coach John Calipari despite having recruiting classes over the past 15 years that are unparellel in the history of the sport.

Kris Jenkins’ 3-Pointer Beats Carolina

In a terrific-played title game, Villanova defeated North Carolina, 77-74, in the 2016 final on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by forward Kris Jenkins. Jenkins took the ball out of bounds and trailed the play and made a terrific clutch shot to give coach Jay Wright his first of two NCAA titles as coach of the Wildcats. Jenkins’ shot and the game highlighted two things. One, in the era of social media, coaches decisions are overly-criticized and over analyzed as fans and pundits pondered how the Tar Heels should have defended the play. (They didn’t pressure the inbounder Jenkins). Two, it highlighted that there was terrific basketball still being played despite the lack of star power caused by so many players with college eligibility no longer part of the playing field following Kevin Garnett opening up the prep-to-pro floodgates in 1995. The talent level has never been the same since KG's decision, but the college game remains strong, nonetheless.

Derek Anderson’s Free Throws

During the 1997 Final Four, Kentucky’s Derek Anderson shot two foul shots in the Wildcats’ semifinal victory over Minnesota. Anderson had tore his ACL in January and would be unable to play, unless there was a technical foul shot situation. Kentucky went on to lose the title game to Arizona, 84-79, in overtime. Kentucky’s 1996 team is the best one we’ve seen in the past 40 years, and perhaps if Anderson wasn’t injured Kentucky would have won three straight NCAA titles. Most of the reserves on the 1996 team made up the core of the 1998 title-winning team. The 1996 team was that deep and good, and Anderson’s free throws are a reminder Arizona is the last team in the West Region to win the NCAA title.

Danny and The Miracles

Sometimes a star can carry a team, but it wasn’t probable Kansas would win the 1988 NCAA title. The Jayhawks has the best player in the country in senior forward Danny Manning, but they were playing a juggernaut in Oklahoma, which was heavily favored to win over its Big Eight Conference rival in the title game. After all, the Sooners averaged over 102 points per game and beat Kansas by eight points twice during the regular season. All that didn’t matter in the title game, as Manning capped off a memorable six-game run with 31 points and 18 rebounds. Most fans don’t know Kansas’ other four starters, but it was a reminder that sometimes the best high school recruits eventually make all the difference in the world and recruiting is the bloodline of the sport. Manning was a three-time all-American and led Kansas to the Final Four as a sophomore in 1986. Head coach Larry Brown shrewdly hired his father, Ed Manning, to the Kansas staff while his son was a rising high school senior and it paid off. Manning’s performance is a reminder of what it takes to win at the highest level.

UConn Dominance

It’s not easy to win six games in a row. Many great coaches have never been to a NCAA Final Four, much less win the whole thing. UConn won three NCAA titles under the guidance of Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun. The Huskies won their fourth title under first year coach Kevin Ollie in 2014 and are now dominant under coach Danny Hurley. UConn won the 2023 title in dominant fashion, winning every game by double-digits and covering the point spread in each game. Entering this year’s Elite 8 game versus Illinois, the top seeded Huskies are 9-0 vs. the spread in the last two tournaments. How great is this UConn team? It doesn’t matter. It only has to be better than who is in front of them and so far Hurley’s bunch has been much better. Some pundits have been trying to compare this team to some of the all-time great teams or even how it may do against a NBA team. The NBA thing is laughable, as we’re not sure this year’s UConn team or last year’s would last the first weekend of an all-time seeded NCAA Tournament involving any eligible team. Teams from yesteryear just had more older, NBA-bound talent than teams of the past 20 years. As we said, that doesn’t matter as March Madness is as popular as ever. Bottom line is, UConn is that program many NCAA basketball fans think their program is.

Pangos Midwest: Is Markese Jacobs the Next Sherron Collins?

Ronnie Flores — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 02:01:24 +0000

Chicago guards got plenty of attention as the All-Midwest edition of the Pangos Frosh/Soph Camps kicked off Saturday in La Grange, including Kansas commit Markese Jacobs, but players from Nebraska (Amauri Pesek) and Iowa (Patrick McCaffery) were just as impressive. Jacobs now is being compared to former Windy City high school All-American and NCAA champion Sherron Collins. Is the comparison legitimate?

The Pangos All-Midwest Frosh/Soph Camp has 200 players on hand displaying their talents at The Park District of La Grange in suburban Chicago. Of those players, only one is committed to a college. That would be 5-foot-11 sophomore (2019) guard Markese Jacobs of Uplift Community (Chicago), who plays travel ball for the Mac Irvin Fire and committed to Kansas University earlier in October.

Hailing from the Windy City and being a stocky and explosive guard, Jacobs naturally draws comparisons to another Chicago guard who brought grit and talent, not to mention a NCAA championship to Lawrence: former Crane High standout Sherron Collins.

"People said I have a really similar game to him and being another guard from Chicago, it made sense," Jacobs said at the conclusion of his camp game on Saturday at The Park District. "I got to meet Sherron this year and I am beginning to work out with him. My uncle (Antonio Jones) goes to his open gym and knows him real well. The best piece of advice he's given me so far is to set up teammates and don't make it always about you."

As far as the comparisons to the 2006 McDonald's All-American who was one of the three best guards in high school basketball for the 2005-06 season along with Mike Conley of FAB 50 national champ Indianapolis Lawrence North (who is now the richest player in the league) and NBA vet Ty Lawson of perennial FAB 50 contender Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, they are fair and give Jacobs something to strive for because its still early to call him a lock high school All-American in two years. The potential is there, as Jacobs attacks the rim with a vengance, using his strong frame to fend off bigger defenders, and has potential as an elite ball harasser on the defensive end. As most young players do, Jacobs feels he has to better utilize his off (left) hand and he does have to clean up his offensive repitriore, but he's one of the best undersized rebounding guards we've seen at a Pangos Frosh/Soph Camp in recent memory.

Jacobs has an older brother he plays with at Uplift Community, senior Demarius Jacobs, and he too will be playing college basketball. The 6-foot-2 senior is verbally committed to Southern Illinois and together they hope to lift the small school on Chicago's North Side to the ISHA Class 2A state title. Markese Jacobs has a take-no-prisoners attitude and the brothers are quite competitive. So what happens when they go one-on-one? "He still wins all the time," Markese said with a smile. "He's long and lanky and gets it over me. He's getting better, but I have more time to develop, and I'm going to be the better player."

Markese, who chose Kansas because of the way it develops and utilizes its guards, definitely doesn't lack for confidence and it shows in his play so far at the camp.

"I feel I can't be stopped. I'm very confident in myself."

Other Pangos Standouts

The top overall performer on the camp's first day and potentially the best long-term prospect at the event was 6-foot-9 Patrick McCaffery of Iowa City West, one of the best teams in the state of Iowa. McCaffrey is skilled in nearly every aspect of the game and has a chance to be one of the nation's best players in the 2019 class. He runs the floor and finishes with smoothness and is excellent in the half court as well.

Another day one standout was 6-foot-3 2019 guard Amauri Pesek of Omaha South in Nebraska. Pesek is a physically imposing shooting guard who is relentless in his attack and shoots well enough to keep defenders honest. Iowa had plenty of standout performers at the event that we'll discuss in more detail in our camp recap.

6'11 16 year old Bol Bol: Unmatched Length + Rare Skill Set!

Scott Comeau — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 01:09:02 +0000

6’11 10th grader Bol Bol has been controlling both ends of the court for his AAU team KC Run GMC (in the Under Armour Association) and for Bishop Miege HS (Near Kansas City, KS) who won a basketball state title in Kansas.
With a rare combination of size, length, passing, shooting and ball-handling skills, 16 year old Bol is one of the nation’s most unique and versatile high school basketball talents. It could be argued he is his team’s top shooter, passer, rebounder, defender, shot-blocker and ball-handler (as a 6-11 10th grader). Now recognized as a top 15 player in the 2018 class, there’s no limit to where Bol can take his game. Currently holding early offers from New Mexico State, St John’s and Creighton, Bol’s list of college options will grow.
Bol who has grown up in Kansas is the son of the late Manute Bol who was a great NBA shot-blocker in the 1980s-90s as well as an activist and humanitarian who dedicated much of his post-NBA life helping people of South Sudan in Africa.
Enjoy this Ballislife mixtape which includes exclusive footage from Bishop Miege winning the Interstate Basketball Classic (Coffeyville, KS) as well as from Pangos Camp and the UAA.

"A classic dual between current Kansas Jayhawk star Andrew Wiggins and his then York Region rival and current Gonzaga star Kevin Pangos. These two Canadian talents have been Canada Basketball teammates as well as good friends. Drew Ebanks documented this epic championship match back in 2011 in front of a sold out crowd when Andrew Wiggins was only a Sophomore in high school and Kevin Pangos a senior. Since then, ON POINT has been there every step of the way to document the burgeoning career of the 2014 projected #1 NBA draft pick Andrew Wiggins who follows 2013 #1 pick Anthony Bennett. The Toronto region has produced a number of elite level basketball players from Tristan Thompson to Cory Joseph and now Andrew Wiggins, Kevin Pangos, Nick Stauskas, Anthony Bennett, Kelly Olynyk, Andrew Nicholson and many more." - On Point Basketball

The South Side Team featured #7 Osiris Eldridge (NBDL), #11 Bobby Simmons (Clippers), Dexter Williams (Kings), #2 Jeremy Pargo (Grizzlies), as well as #10 Jerome Randle (Cal) and #6 Stefphon Hannah (Missou). But it was the undersized home team (West) who won big. Standouts included #3 David Bailey (Loyola), local favorite #5 Tony Bennett (Bradley), #4 Sherron Collins (Kansas), #2 Emmanuel Little (Euro Pro) and #8 Tyrone Kent (Toldeo) who was on fire throughout the game.
The West Side (Orange uniform) won by a final score of 103 – 71.
