Has to be
My wife, who doesn't give a damn about sports and especially basketball (she runs around going "squeak, squeak PEEP" very sarcastically, saying that all basketball is) was standing up with me, gobsmacked by the game. It had everything, Laettner's step, the "Unforgetables", Back and forth, back and forth, two great coaches.
Maybe NC State-Maryland in the ACC Final in 1974. 103-102 in OT. Winner went to the NCAA, loser went home (one bid per conference then). Talent galore, David Thompson, Tom Burleson, Monte Towe and future Orioles pitcher Tim Stoddard for NC State, Maryland had John Lucas, len Elmore, Tom McMillen. I know its before everyone's time (hell, I don't remember it). Worth a watch
Others:
1982 NCAA Championship, UNC v. Georgetown. Carolina's first 10 points came on five Patrick Ewing goaltending calls. Pure intimidation. Jordan makes the go ahead basket, Fred Brown throws the ball to James Worthy at the end
1983 NCAA Championship. Whittenberg, LO Charles and Jimmy V. Sloppy game but what a result.
1985 NCAA Championship game. Villanova v. Georgetown. Classic good guy vs bad guy game.
2016 NCAA championship Game. Kris Jenkins, ice water in veins

'nova / unc tops em all
that thrill of that last second shot - camera pans to the wright/Williams reactions and the unc bench/'nova bench- celebration/nova's campus celebrating.......
i'd put it right behind the phils winning in 2008 and eagles SB last year - magical
I bawled my eyes out like a baby after that game winner - just like I did when the phils won the WS in 08 and the Birds last year....and I didn't even go to 'Nova - that's how hardcore college hoops fans are here if you care about the region and college hoops - was a great moment - to me it was a win for 'Nova, Temple, LaSalle, Drexel, St. Joe's, Delaware, Penn - not just 'Nova - but Philly College Hoops
and I get i'm a product of my environment (i.e. wasn't witness to the great '85 nova team or the Houston Phi Slamma Jamma team) - and '85 'Nova vs the Hoyas was David vs. Goliath - but the scene of the end of this clip with Mass (RIP) celebrating was icing on the cake as far as what an iconic moment for this area.

My favorite is not a widely considered 'classic'. I doubt many remember it, outside of Iowa Hawkeye fans.
It was an OT game between Iowa and Connecticut in 1995.
Ray Allen was the biggest name but I remember it because it was such a fun game, high scoring.
And Iowa had this shooter Chris Kingsbury who was known for taking, and making, very long distance shots.
