(15) Hampton 58, (2) Iowa State 57, 2001

Hampton, of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, was considered an afterthought for Big 12 power Iowa State, which featured future-pro Jamaal Tinsley at point guard. But Hampton's Travis Williams flicked in a four-footer with seven seconds left, giving the Pirates the lead, and Tinlsey's last-second lay-up bounced off the rim. Amidst the post-game mayhem, a Hampton player lifted Viking coach Steve Merfeld off the ground. Merfeld's kicked his legs through the air like a hyperactive child, creating the most memorable post-game reaction by a coach since North Carolina State's Jim Valvano ran aimlessly around the court in 1983, searching for someone to hug after he won the title.
