My Top 3 Tourney Games

3. (TIE): Thursday Night, Sweet 16 Midwest Region, 1997 - Minnesota over Clemson, Double Overtime: Minnesota 90 Clemson 84; UCLA over Iowa State, Overtime: UCLA 74 Iowa State 73

Unseasonably warm temps leading into spring break and two classic games. Minnesota holding on much to my chagrin and a big UCLA comeback.

2. Round Two, 1995 West Region - UCLA 75 Missouri 74

1. East Regional Final, 1992 - Duke 104 Kentucky 103

Not even close. The '95 tourney and '97 tourney are always underrated for best tourneys.

Worst games? 1999 First Round Wisconsin vs. SW Missouri State and the 2000 Final Four game, Michigan State vs. Wisconsin. Basketball at it's absolute worse

I didn't include regular season or conference tournament games. If I did, I'd put UConn-Georgetown Big East Final from 1996. Iverson-Allen.
