Seton Hall 1989 final game vs. Michigan ranked in the Top 10 of Final 4 games, by this publication. The Big East has 6 teams named in these rankings.

Where does Gonzaga-UCLA rank among greatest men's Final Four games of modern era?

Jalen Suggs's buzzer-beater vaulted Gonzaga-UCLA toward the top of the list. But not quite to the very top.

Our game has often been forgotten. Truly a great one.

Putting aside my bias, for 30-plus minutes that was not a great game. But from around the midway point of the second half on through the end, it was one of the great college basketball games of all time.

I like how they say the UConn Duke '99 "gave us the greatest 40 minutes of basketball that March Madness has ever seen. Rip Hamilton and Langdon traded big-time buckets. The teams traded slender leads. Neither ever led by more than seven. The only thing they didn't deliver was a memorable finish."

Oh, I found the finish very memorable:



It's even better if you remember that K sent them out saying "Take 'em Trajan."

I'd also put the 2011 UConn, Kentucky game on the list. It was a 56-55 win for UConn. UConn led by 10 at the half but Brandon Knight and Kentucky fought back. There even was a last second three as time expired. The only problem was we were up by 4 at the time.
