Monte Morris vs Texas this year was solid, fresh in my mind.

traipsing thru the treetops
Royce White coast to coast dunk to start the new era of Cyclone NCAA appearances (love the announcer's "hello!" in there)

I should add: the shot itself wasn't that spectacular. However, the statement it made (we're BACK) felt really really good after a long drought.

One of the best parts of that game was the end - one of the most hilarious "dunks" I've seen in the NCAAs:

Fizer's shot in Lawrence considering he tried banking it in

I remember watching that game as a kid. We were terrible on the road then so it was an even bigger deal than it seems now. Hoiberg had some zip behind that bounce pass too.

Well, this shot was so long ago that I wasn't even born, but I will go with Don Medsker's buzzer beating 15 foot jumper to beat 12-0 Kansas and Wilt Chamberlain. He spent most of the game fronting Wilt. Extra special day for him, he proposed to one of our cheerleaders that day before the game.
