NCAA Basketball One Shining Moment Videos

Nothing gives The Rodge more goosebumps than the “One Shining Moment” video that plays after the championship game of each NCAA basketball tournament. In one cheesy three minute song you run the emotional gamut of joy, pain, heartache, luck, relief, excitement, heartburn, hormone deficiency, and bowel issues. Let’s recap them shall we?

2007 Florida Champions
Top shining moments: Some nasty blocks, the shot off the knees.

2006 Florida Champions
Top shining moments: Adam Morrison’s mustache while crying, JJ Redick crying and hugging Coach K, Ben Wallace lookalike for Northwestern, Dude poking himself in the nipple.

2005 North Carolina Champions
Top shining moments: Bill Murray and Nick Lachey quick cameos, Michigan St. thunderdunks.

2004 UConn Champions
Top shining moments: Shot of old grumpy coach during “all the years” line, white dude getting his dunk blocked hard, leg spread facial dunk.

2003 Syracuse Champions
Top shining moments: The first year of Luther Vandross singing, Western Kentucky weird running guy, Marquette dancing dude, Hakim Warrick game-clinching block. (Damn, that was a good Kansas team that lost in the finals with Langford, Heinrich, Collison, and Simien)

2002 Maryland Champions
Top shining moments: Frodo the Hobbit or Luke Jackson? A tall guy named Short? Weird special effects, putting highlights in TVs, fake around-the-back pass dribble.

    2006 nipple guy was Tasmin Mitchell from LSU. He wasn’t pointing to his nipple, he was pointing to a tattoo of your mom’s name on his chest.

  2. WOW. I am speechless. I didn’t know whether to watch one at a time and have 15 short cries, or if I should watch them ALL and have one really long cry. I decided to do both. Can’t wait until this year when it is a montage full of Oregon Championship moments!
