"One Shining Moment" — the montage that has closed every March Madness since 1987 — is a beautiful thing.
But it's also got a fatal flaw: Too many of these "One Shining Moments" end with a hated team winning. And unless you're a fan of Duke or Kansas or Kentucky, why would you ever want to watch them win a title?

Here it is: The ultimate "One Shining Moment":
A big thank you to CBS for giving us the magic that is "One Shining Moment" every year. All of these clips are theirs. All of the music from the montage can be purchased here. CBS also has a giant archive of March Madness video available here.
