March Madness has taken over television screens, so it's worth going back in time to look at some of the greatest NCAA basketball finishes, all on CBS:
*1985: Villanova beats Georgetown, 66-64 - Many still consider this the greatest upset in NCAA tournament history, as unranked Villanova overcame defending champion Georgetown:

*1983: Hail the Wolfpack- A bigger Cinderella story than Villanova was North Carolina State University, coached by Jim Valvano. Going up against the University of Houston Cougars, the Wolfpack was seen as overmatched. But with Dereck Whittenburg and Lorenzo Charles in the lead, North Carolina State made it happen:

*1992: Duke vs. Kentucky - Considered the greatest college basketball game ever played, this one ended in overtime at the very last milisecond with Christian Laettner's shot:
