You hear the song every single year at the conclusion of the NCAA Tournament. It’s become a staple of the event, and perhaps one of its most signature and iconic parts if not its most.
“One shining moment, it’s all on the line. One shining moment, there frozen in time...”
In the rich history of the extravaganza that is March Madness, some moments have immortalized themselves more than others. When you hear the name Christian Laettner, you think of his epic shot against Kentucky in the 1992 Elite Eight. You hear the name Lorenzo Charles, and suddenly a memory of him hitting an alley oop “on the dot” runs through your mind alongside Jim Valvano.
