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
