Baseball
It happened a little more than two years ago, so it might not have proper historical context, but the win-or-go-home bracket final between LSU and Wake Forest might be the greatest game in college baseball history. It featured seven and eight scoreless innings, respectively, from future top 10 picks; Tre Morgan’s spectacular charge-field-and-throw in the eighth to keep the game scoreless; and a walk-off home run by one of the most famous early transfer portal players. Who was the winning pitcher for LSU, going three scoreless in relief, three days after taking the loss versus the Demon Deacons?

In the 2013 NCAA championship game, Michigan’s freshman Spike Albrecht (who had averaged 1.8 ppg that season) exploded for 13 first-half points and 17 for the game. Despite Albrecht’s unexpected heroics, the Wolverines lost to Louisville. After the game, Albrecht became a social media sensation for flirt-tweeting at what supermodel and Michigan fan, thanking her for attending the game? (Unfortunately for Spike, she never responded…at least publicly.)
