College Basketball - Highlight Reels

Having just rewatched Anchorman, was going to author zany post about Ron Burgundy, but will put that off for the moment. Instead, am posting links to the "One Shining Moment" Video Packages I was able to find. For those who don't follow - every year (for the last 20) at the end of the NCAA Tourney, CBS puts together a highlight package to the tune of a song "One Shining Moment" written specifically for college basketball by Ann Arbor Michigan's own, David Barrett. It's an exceptionally schmaltzy song - whether the original version or the Luther Vandross version CBS has often used. And yet, it just works for me with the sports coverage, and I get all misty with nostalgia...

Of these, I think the best ones are the 1998 package (the Valparaiso game, Mark Madsen) and 2003 (lots of Carmelo Anthony) even if whomever posted 2003 couldn't cut the studio parts.

So I give you:


1998 (Kentucky) - Luther Vandross

2002 (Maryland) - David Barrett

2003 (Syracuse) - Luther Vandros

2005 (North Carolina) - Luther Vandross

2006 (Florida) - Luther Vandross

One shining moment. It'll make you cry like Adam Morrison.
