In my opinion,only one college hoops game in November or December has received more national publicity than the Purdue win. UCLA-Houston in 1968.This was a two-day news cycle with mentions on national news even last night.
There's only been one

A classic.
Good thought Richard.
When in the year was the David Thompson nc state UCLA GAME?
We continue to move the needle when we perform..
This is the only one that 25+ years ago, still is an instant classic.....Duke vs Carolina at Cameron Indoor.....the rivalry makes this shot part of a lengthy history of classic games....
BUT.....this shot only tied the game and Duke wound up falling on double-OT to the Tar Heels....
It is tough to find a shot or moment for this type of shot that actually won a game.....AND against #1.......and at home where the fans mobbed the court....
And this is really one that has entered the social media craze.....the Dick Vitale call in the Duke/UNC is a classic for Dickie V......but this Harper Jr winner, really is almost a global phenomenon right now.
If you attended the game and have the saved video on your phones, it is almost iconic because everyone has a slightly different vantage point from their seats, student section, even the 300s.....it is probably going to be an all-time college basketball event, in what is developing into an all-time building at the RAC......
