This year's NCAA tournament included the largest upset in tournament history, a 16-seed over a 1-seed, two 13-seed over 4-seed upsets, phenomenal dunks, an 11-seed making it to the Final Four, 20+ point comebacks, 5 buzzer beaters, Cinderella stories, Villanova winning their 2nd title in three years, and much, much more. I had a great time watching this year's tournament and made this video to relive the best parts of it and it would mean a lot to me if you checked it out.

I thought it went from interesting to pretty poor quickly. Wasn't a fan of this tournament.

Classic. It was one of the best tournaments ever.

I know that's what everyone is saying. I didn't find it that way.

89 was pretty chalky, even though there were two near-misses in the 1-16 games (Georgetown over Princeton by 1, Oklahoma over E. Tennessee St. by 1) and only one #1 seed got to the FF (Illinois). There was no worse than a 5 seed in the Elite 8 (Virginia, who got trounced by Michigan).

Championship game was a great one...I am sure Seton Hall fans have still not forgiven John Clougherty for his call that sent Rumeal Robinson to the line.

I think the basketball played was better then because the teams stayed together longer. Glen Rice was a senior, and the teams that went far were junior and senior heavy, by and large.

This year's first couple of rounds were off the rails fun, though. The Final Four lacked suspense, but most of that was Villanova being so dominant. They were a pleasure to watch.

92 and 93 were fun. 2010 and 2012 were fun.

-First ever win by a #16 seed over #1 seed.
-My favorite team (Texas A&M) beating a #2 seed North Carolina in Charlotte, arguably the most impressive NCAA tournament win in school history.
-The 98-year old nun Sister Jean praying her team to a Final Four.
-Villanova dropping 13 three pointers in first half on Kansas, and generally just smoking everybody to cruise to a national title with insane numbers on offense (essentially a college version of current Golden State Warriors/Houston Rockets).

Pretty sure all of the above will make the 2018 tournament stick out in my mind more than most, when looking back many years from now.

Great tournament this year. Especially the first two rounds. My trip to charlotte was one of the more memorable experiences I've had in the stands and I go to most of the final fours.

Diamond mentioned the 1993 tournament and I agree for personal reasons. That was a great tournament.

Nice Lefraud! Sam Cassell, Charlie Ward and Bob Sura cut my weekend a little short that season.

The Loyola Marymount - Michigan game in 1990 was the most entertaining 30 point blowout ever. How would you like to score 115 points in 40 minutes...and lose by 30+? YouTube this if you haven't seen it.

I'm guessing Charlie Ward is the only Heisman winner to play in the NCAA tournament?

I would think that is true. He was a great athlete and played 11 years in the NBA and was also drafted twice for Major League Baseball.

Julius Peppers played on a Final 4 team. That was pretty impressive.

91 was probably the best for me. My brother was a UNLV fan and I was a Duke fan.
I barley even remember the 89 tournament (I was 11 going on 12).

I remember those Arkansas teams with Todd Day, Oliver Miller and Lee Maberry... saw them live twice (89 and 90?) The left the conference the next year.
I remembered a little bit about Hank Gathers.....

I think where it hits in your life sticks with you more than anything. I was all about basketball from 12 till I was 20. I back at it again since my oldest is into it.
