I hate to include Duke in anything, but it was No. 4 Duke 68, No. 3 Kansas 66 at MSG to open the season.
Kansas turned it over 28 times and somehow still had chance to tie the game at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DCVi_dRNEg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Virginia opened its title defense in the most Virginia way possible — they allowed only 34 points in a win over Syracuse. Somehow they found some made shots to put into these highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXgBrsAdBiU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

UAB’s Makhtar Gueye hits a three with just seconds remaining to give the Blazers a win over Troy.
UAB had another good season at 19-13 but for some reason they fired HC Rob Ehsan (a former Maryland assistant under Gary)

Merrimack picks up its first ever D1 victory with a road win over Northwestern.

It was Paul George Day at Fresno State, and the bulldogs honored the NBA All-Star with a buzzer-beating win over Winthrop on this shot from Mustafa Lawrence. And Paul George loves it.

One of the many things that makes college basketball awesome — One day after the crushing loss to Fresno, Winthrop goes out and pulls the big upset over No. 18 Saint Mary’s. Winthrop went on to win the Big South title.

VCU took down No. 23 LSU 84-82 in a fantastic game in front of an electric at the Siegel Center, but the best moment was these VCU fans trolling their former HC Will Wade.

What a game it was between No. 3 Michigan State and No. 12 Seton Hall — two teams that could have made a serious Final Four run.

The defending champs held on for a 61-55 win in this one, but Vermont’s Anthony Lamb dropped 30 on that UVA defense.
The Catamounts (26-7) would have probably won the A-East and been a pretty popular first-round upset pick in the tourney.

In one of the games of the year to that point, Xavier’s Naji Marshall pulled up from the Charleston logo to send the game to OT vs UConn (and probably send @PaulFritschner into a frenzy).

Five games went to OT this day, but we may have had our bad beat of the year as Memphis (-4) secures it with the dunk, and then Ole Miss’s Blake Hinson did this at the buzzer.

Clemson ended regulation on a 15-0 run in the final 7:30 to somehow send the game to OT. Then the Tigers secured the victory over TCU.

Kansas won 90-84 in OT, but Jalen Crutcher got it there with this shot in a matchup that could have been a preview of the National Title Game.

There were a lot of crazy shots on this day, but none crazier than this game-tying three at the buzzer from Ryan Daly of St. Joe’s. You can watch it 100 times and still not understand how it happened.
But, Davidson won the game 89-83 in OT.

Brad Davison actually isn’t a bad player when he isn’t taking cheap shots at opponents. Here he hits a game-winner against Maryland that became huge in the Badgers ending up with a share of the Big Ten title.
