The 2001 keelhauling continues

Oh, for Pete (Taylor)’s sake.

For the first time, the NCAA on Tuesday named the top 75 All-Time March Madness Players, 25 All-Time March Madness Teams and 35 All-Time Madness Moments as part of the season-long celebration of 75 Years of March Madness.

In the list of moments (arranged chronologically):

Tarvis Williams’ jumper in the final seconds gave Hampton a 58-57 win against Iowa State, making the Pirates only the fourth No. 15 seed to defeat the No. 2 seed. The picture of [Coach Steve] Merfeld being lifted up from behind by Hampton’s David Johnson as the coach pumped his fists and kicked his legs in the air is one of the great images in tournament history.

Four of the now-six 15-over-2 upsets are on the list, but Missouri and Duke are combined since it happened the same day.
