Personally, I think they grossly under-ranked Wade's triple double. There are only 9 triple doubles in NCAA history, and if Wade had 1 more point, it would be the only 30 point triple double.

It's also only 1 of 2 that secured a final four berth.

Also surprised Shaq's 1st round NCAA tournament triple double (26 points, 13 rebounds, 11 blocks) did not make the list...11 blocks!

I appreciate what Mateen Cleaves meant to Izzo's only title team, but that "highlight" was less impressive than pretty much everything else on the list.

UGH!

13. Ja Morant's triple-double guides Murray State to upset over Marquette in NCAA tournament (2019)
By the time Morant and the 12-seeded Racers entered their first-round matchup against the 5-seeded Golden Eagles in Hartford, Connecticut, he'd already become a popular player and a projected lottery pick. After the 17-point, 11-rebound, 16-assist performance, which included a viral dunk over former Marquette forward Joey Hauser, Morant became a household name.

Some say blocks no Matta, hey

Reading that reminded me how much the Wojo era stunted my MU fandom. I didn't even bother to watch the Murray State game because I knew we were going to get embarrassed.

Its only from the last 25 years or I'm sure it would have been listed.

I sometimes forget how long ago the 90's were.

Forgetful for President!

I was expecting Markus to be on the list. However, I thought it would be the game he scored a ton of points in a row to win the game.

Butch Lee almost taking down the USA Olympic squad single handedly playing for Puerto Rico has to be no. 1.

25 year window.  Which means since 1998.

Seemed appropriate to put in the espn love or not thread. Just went to turn on the US Open and ESPN is dark as I have Spectrum. Let's see where this posturing leaves us.

So they left out Wardle's shot at Louisville!?!?

Sad!!

[THRILLHO]

Cant believe they left out the resurrection of our lord and savior Jesus Christ in 33 AD. I didn't read the article but whatever it was about that seems like a major oversight.
