3-Pointers
by Sports Illustrated's Alexander Wolff

Posted March 15, 1998

The most spectacular drives in tournament history:

1. Danny Ainge, Brigham Young, 1981.
Slalom-dribbles through the Notre Dame defense, then tosses in a layup at the buzzer, as the Cougars defeat the Irish 51-50 in an East Regional semifinal. The fullcourt rush becomes known as the "March through Atlanta."

2. Tyus Edney, UCLA, 1995.
His fullcourt rush and floater over the Missouri defense gives the Bruins a 75-74 second-round win. UCLA goes on to take the title.

3. Bryan Warrick, St. Joseph's, 1981.
Rebounds a missed free throw and weaves through the DePaul defense, hitting John Smith under the basket for the winning layup as the Hawks oust the No. 1 Blue Demons 49-48 in the second round.
