In 1990, UConn's Scott Burrell (a first-round MLB draft pick as a pitcher) throws the ball the length of the court to Tate George who sinks a turnaround jumper with one second to go to beat Clemson. I had to pick someone up at the airport and my then one-year-old son was sleeping in his car seat in the back. I was listening on the radio and I screamed so loud when George hit the shot that my son started screaming as well (but not in a good way).
I wasn’t as familiar with the Jerome Whitehead shot. Thanks for the insight! I would have added the Georgia State winner in 2015 simply for the pure father / son joy. What a moment!

To me the great part of these old videos are the court, to me the first two rounds lost something when they went to uniformed courts.

I have to say I have a fondness for Tate George’s shot to beat Clemson in 1990 but I still like your list and the idea for this.
I remember watching that one live. It was a HUGE deal in CT.
I was teaching Finance at UConn at the time: Amen to that.
The only-if greatest shot:
