Looking Back at the 10 Best College Basketball Games of the Decade

The 2010s decade comes to a close on Tuesday, ending a memorable 10-year span in college basketball. Seven different men's programs won a national championship, while four different women's programs cut down the nets—including UConn five times. Incredibly, we even saw a national title game end on a buzzer beater on both the men's and women's sides.

To celebrate the end of the decade, SI has ranked the 10 best games of the 2010s, based on drama, stakes and individual efforts (and if you're looking for best upsets—featuring a certain UMBC team, we did a ranking in 2018).
