When UConn wins, is it One Shining Bonement?

its tradition, I get it.

but the fact that people actually look forward to it...is extremely embarrassing and quite bizarre.

You know it gives you goosebumps. Dont deny it, embrace it. It doesnt make you any less of a man.

Two observations:
1. If I'm a random player, even a walk-on, in the tourney and want to be memorialized in OSM, I'm pounding my chest all game long. The "beat of your heart" line shows Coach Cremins in both 1987 & 1996! This is a lot easier than changing one's last name to "Short" or "Long"!

2. If it occurred in 2016, Cipolla's shot would have left .8 seconds on the clock for Georgia. There would have been a 10 minute game stoppage to review the clock and Georgia would have had an opportunity to set up a desperation shot. Similarly, in '87 we would have had 3-4 seconds and a TO in pocket. Plenty of time to employ the strategy at the end of the UGA game; i.e. have DC throw a pass to half court, call TO, and set up a last second shot off the sideline inbounds.

Anyone remember Kenny Loggins and Christopher Cross in years prior to OSM? I used to hum to "This Is It" while dunking on my Nerf hoop...

Yes, and it was better when they switched songs every year. The 1983 version with Christopher Cross is the best one

mtv killed christopher cross. great vocal but not screen friendly. missed it by that much...

Whynis it a big deal that Luther Vandross is being replaced this year? Its not unprecedented. I'm pretty sure Jennifer Hudson did OSM like five or six years ago.

What in the world is happening at the 1:13 mark? There's no way that's a charge. Her feet were not set and she turned her hips.

I don't about looking forward to it, but I try to watch it. For me it's the end of college hoops for the year and then it's on to this

Good news... One Shining Moment is back!
On the primary broadcast they will use the traditional Luther version.

The new, alternate, version (which was to be the new replacement) has been relegated to the other channels that will carry the game.

Lots of public outrage has apparently led to the reversal.
