One of the many awesome things about ND's win was watching Rick Pitino's antics after the game kept going into multiple OTs. I believe he threw a highlighter at one point.

It should be noted that this would be the last time UL would lose before *winning* the 2013 NC.

Meltdown was about the best word I could think of, and seeing The Loosest Coach in America just enjoying the game only made it better. Add in the sartorial contrast - another classic was Pitino in a Gordon Gekko suit facing off with Huggins (easily on my shortlist of coaches I'd love to grab a beer with though) in sweats - and the end result only made it better, although they did get us back in the BE Tourney.

That's a great point on us being the last one to beat the eventual champ, and as Ajax mentioned, the same occurred for both Kemba Walker and Duke. The 2014-15 team that beat Duke is one of my favorite all time ND teams, and it drives me nuts that they ran into another excellent team in UK when both (along with Wisconsin and Arizona?) would likely have won the whole thing in +/- 3 years before and after, but just had the bad luck to be very good teams in a very deep year.

Until Grant went off in the last 90 seconds of regulation, the Louisville game wasn't very good. The Georgetown game was tight throughout.

I had basically given up on the game until Grant hit his third three-pointer, and the rest of the night was an insane roller-coaster ride.

But I can see the opposite view.

I was watching it with a friend at my house and we left with about 50 seconds left to go meet friends at a bar. I got to the bar and looked at the TV and went "holy shit". That bar was a lot of fun for the next hour.

He doesn't show up on the stat sheet until getting a rebound with 15 seconds to go in the first overtime. He ended the game with 17 points and 6 rebounds.

Georgetown was the better game, but the question was which was the better win. In my view it's Louisville for the reasons you stated.

There were quite a few Louisville fans at the game, and they were happy in the smugest possible way with about 2 minutes left in regulation. It was wonderful to send them home with a gut wrenching loss.

Additional note... That was Louisville's last loss of the season (although the rest of the season's wins had to be vacated).

Any other recent I am missing?

Surprisingly the 1974 game (Iceman Clay) was not UCLA's last loss that season - they had two more

1975 we were next to last team to beat UCLA before their championship
