Watch this year’s One Shining Moment cap off the 2022 NCAA Tournament

After three weeks of drama, upsets, and high-level college basketball, there’s but one more thing we need to do. I know it may seem like we all accomplished a lot together in watching America’s consummate sudden death sports tournament, but we can’t forget this note. It’s like forgetting the Christmas tree and gingerbread cookies.

Yes, it’s our One Shining Moment. (Starts tap dancing.)

The yearly tradition, i.e., the best part of the tournament (if you’re a giant, sentient cheeseball of earnestness like me), is here again to cap the wild ride we just experienced together. Kansas, I’m sorry. You and your national title have to take a backseat for a second.

Without further adieu — Take it away, Mr. David Barrett. You have our (my) full attention:

IN ONE SHINING MOMENT, IT’S ALL ON THE LINE.

Sorry, sorry. Let me compose myself.

Ugh, it’s so good it almost makes me angry. It makes me feel like I’m on a wonderful magic carpet ride of basketball. It’s like a whimsical basketball musical. Excuse me while I totally don’t watch it another 1,000 times or so before finally falling asleep.

The 2022 Men’s NCAA tournament is over. And, yes, we have our One Shining Moment together, dear readers.
