Thirty years ago on March 30, the original NCAA tournament tribute "One Shining Moment" video aired after the No. 1-seeded Indiana Hoosiers defeated the No. 2-seeded Syracuse Orangemen.

That was a really fine year for CBS to debut its now-iconic video tradition after the crowning of the champion. Legendary head coach Bobby Knight led that Hoosiers team past Jim Boeheim's Syracuse squad thanks to a game-winning shot in the game's final seconds by Indiana's Keith Smart. Syracuse reached the title game by advancing past the Providence Friars, coached by a guy named Rick Pitino. And in the other Final Four game, Indiana toppled the towel-chomping Jerry Tarkanian-led UNLV Runnin' Rebels, who would break through in 1990. Familiar faces, heartbreak, intrigue and heroics. It was a good year! Now go ahead back in time:
