The Richmond Spiders became the first No. 15 seed to win a tournament game when they stunned second-seeded Syracuse in 1991. Richmond established itself as a giant killer, having advanced to the Sweet 16 as a 13 seed in 1988.

In the final season for head coach Pete Carril, 13th-seeded Princeton shocked defending national champ UCLA. Slowing the pace and executing their methodical offense, the Tigers scored the last 9 points -- including the game-winner in the final seconds.

Perhaps the greatest game in the history of this famed rivalry happened in Game 4 of the ‘87 Finals. The Lakers rallied from down 16 in the third quarter and six with under two minutes remaining in the fourth. Magic Johnson connected on a “baby sky hook” with two seconds left.

15th-seeded Hampton fought back from nine down to take the lead on Iowa State with 6.9 seconds left in the 2001 NCAA first round. Jamaal Tinsley attempted to respond, but his missed layup ignited a celebration from Pirates coach Steve Merfeld that is a part of March Madness lore.

It's hard to think of a more entertaining Cinderella in NCAA Tournament history than Florida Gulf Coast. The high-flying Eagles took down Georgetown in the opening round and then became the first-ever No. 15 seed to advance two rounds when they beat San Diego State.

In 1993, Santa Clara became the second No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2. Despite a 25-0 run by Arizona and a 13-point second half deficit, the Broncos pulled off the giant upset. A freshman point guard named Steve Nash connected on six free throws in the final 31 seconds.

Syracuse and UConn played the second-longest game in CBB history in the quarterfinals of the 2009 Big East Tournament. The Orange outlasted the Huskies 127-117 in six OTs in a contest that lasted 3 hours and 46 min.

Among the many highlights in the career of Steph Curry, who turns 37 Friday, was a Saturday against the Thunder. He capped an evening in which he connected on 12 threes with an insane 30-foot heave to beat Oklahoma City in the final seconds of overtime.

Unfazed by the presence of a perennial power or the game being played in Greensboro, NC, 15th-seeded Lehigh dethroned Duke, 75-70, behind C.J. McCollum's breakout performance. He scored 30 points and his team forced 13 Blue Devil turnovers in the program’s first tourney win.

Michael Jordan announced “I’m back” to mark his official return to the NBA after a 21-month retirement. His comeback started 30 years ago at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. Wearing No. 45, Jordan scored 19 against the Pacers in Chicago's overtime defeat. NBA on NBC and Peacock

It's never ceases to amaze me how much of a football attitude there is among baseball fans. Eight games of a season, especially at the start, is not indicative of the rest of the season -- nowhere close. It's like last year (or any year before that) was never fully processed
