The most famous annual sports montage is back. The emotion, the slow motion pictures, the drama, that voice.
You cannot deny it.
You love “One Shining Moment”.
We had to wait two years for many things. Selection Sunday. An NCAA tournament. A Final Four and a national championship game. Those magical moments that fill three weeks of March and the first days of April.
And version 2021 is here celebrating Baylor’s first national title, Gonzalez’s memorable buzzer-beater from Jalen Suggs and even an image of Oscar Frayer from the Grand Canyon, who died in a car accident a few days after playing in the tournament of the NCAA.
The final piece is the last thing that will air on CBS after the championship game: the video “One Shining Moment” to summarize the history of the NCAA tournament. Here is for you in its entirety. Produced by Alanna Campbell of CBS, “One Shining Moment” features at least one scene from each game and, therefore, from each team that played in the 2021 Big Dance.
It is a shot in time, an illustration of all the joy, headache, emotion, drama and indelible images that this incredible event creates.
From the first tip on March 15 (Mount St. Mary’s v Texas Southern) to the last Monday night in Baylor’s 86-70 victory against Gonzaga to ruin the Zags’ offer for an undefeated season, we are all grateful for (safe) return to the NCAA tournament after two years away
