A winner being crowned from the 2024 men's NCAA Tournament means one thing: a new rendition of "One Shining Moment."
No. 1 UConn comfortably topped No. 1 Purdue 75-60 in the national championship game on Monday, cementing itself as rare repeat champions.
The win meant one of many things, but for tournament traditionalists, it paved the way for "One Shining Moment" that relived the madness from the 2024 tournament.
Written and performed by David Barrett, “One Shining Moment” has been an annual tradition at the end of CBS’s and TBS’s championship coverage dating back to 1987. The song is played while the players and coaches cut the nets, with the video broadcast alongside.
The win in 2024 marked UConn's fifth time cutting the nets in men's basketball. The Huskies also won the title in 1999, 2004, 2011, 2014 and 2023.
