Now Playing: The Most Entertaining NCAA Tournament Game Of All-Time (Full Game)

We're trying to get through it. Some may not want to watch hoops on a day like today, but I refuse to do that. Every day that we should have NCAA Tournament games, I'll find a full video of a game to put on. First round games will get past first round games, Sweet 16, etc. Hell, I might do more than one per day just to scratch the itch.

Goddamn this game was and still is awesome. I say there are 3 votes for me. My favorite NCAA Tournament game is Kentucky over Wichita State in 2014. The best NCAA Tournament game was Nova over UNC in the 2016 title game. The most entertaining NCAA Tournament game? 

This one. 2010 Sweet 16 game between Kansas State and Xavier. Why? It had literally everything you wanted. You had the lower seed - a 6 seed Xavier from the A-10. You had Gus Johnson on the call. You had guys in Jacob Pullen and Jordan Crawford going absolutely insane and hitting big shot after big shot. 

The kinda crazy thing about this is you had such a slow start to the game. At the 16 minute mark it was just 8-4. This is one of the best offensive games I can remember in the NCAA Tournament, just assumed everyone would be scoring right away. What you had though was a bunch of runs in this game. Kansas State had a 19-2 run. Xavier had a 25-12 run and those were just back to back in the first half. 

Sit back, enjoy two hours of unreal basketball in the game that truly gave us a GusGasm.
