One shining moment, there frozen in time. In one shining moment, it’s all on the line It may be the cheesiest moment in sports, but every year people eat it up: I think the current one is by Luther Vandross. The NCAA has figured this out and sought out special recordings of it. The tournament really isn’t over until it is played.
That piece of music, written first on a bar napkin by a man named David Barrett is titled “One Shining Moment.” And it has become a standard feature of the whole March Madness ordeal. And that montage, every year going back to 1987, is set to the same piece of music. It shows the dunks, the dribbles, the fouls, the tears and the smiles, the fade-away three-pointers that go in at the buzzer. It’s a stirring montage that features the highlights-the triumphs of that year’s underdogs and the crashing defeats of the favorites. And for those who know much about the NCAA Men’s basketball tournament, in particular, as soon as the winning team cuts down the nets and is handed the trophy, and after the last on-court interviews are given, footage will cut to a montage of clips from the entire tournament, going all the way back to the opening round games two weekends ago when there were still 64 teams. This afternoon the Iowa Hawkeyes take on the LSU Tigers in Dallas, and out in NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, San Diego State will face off against UConn tomorrow evening for the men’s championship game. It is the weekend of the Final Four of the Men’s and Women’s NCAA Division I basketball tournaments, two of the most anticipated sporting events of the year.
