I always thought ESPN did an awesome job with the intro of the BET each year, here's a collection of 2002-2012 (I couldn't find 2003), most of them are from a Villanova fan so some highlight Wildcat games. Regardless, they're all pretty cool and bring back some awesome memories.

Chills watching some of those. 2006 was the best intro with the Fort Minor song that completely encapsulated Gerry for that week. That team limped out of the regular season worse than this team did, so there's hope. And honestly, I'd selfishly prefer a BET title than Sweet 16.
 
I hope ESPN steals this from TNT and the NBA because this song is absolutely perfect for this Big East Tournament:

 
2006 Fort Minor is OBVIOUSLY the best, and it has nothing to do with GMAC run it was just the best song for this type of Tournament.
 
Before clicking on any of these, the two I immediately remembered was one I loved "2005, pressure pressure pressure" and one I hated "2004, history repeatttttting".
