52NCAA BB'Nova Does the Impossible

Rupp Arena | Lexington, Ky.
- Moment
Georgetown, led by Patrick Ewing, had the nation's best defense and had defeated Villanova twice in the regular season. But Villanova shot almost 80 percent from the field and won 66-64 in the national championship game.
- Impact
This marked the first year the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams, so it's fitting that it also yielded an all-time upset. An eighth seed, Villanova remains the lowest-seeded team to ever win the NCAA title.
