March Madness in 2025 gave us a lot of ups and downs, expected wins and surprise upset, cheers of joy, and tears of defeat.
There were many moments that stood out, and fans would love to experience them again. We take a look at the top five moments from this year’s March Madness edition.
Top 5 moments From the 2025 March Madness
Florida’s Win
The climax of the whole tournament was the moment the buzzer went off in Texas on Monday. Florida had come from 12 points behind to win the national championship, their third title in the program’s history. Florida’s run to the title was nothing short of remarkable, and they absolutely got their reward at the end.
Uconn’s Upset
UConn is a back-to-back champion, and they entered this year’s tournament with the aim of securing a three-peat. However, their bid fell short after a thrilling 77-75 loss to No. 1 seed Florida in the second round, thus ending their 13-game NCAA tournament win streak.
Maryland’s Buzzer-Beater
In the second round, Maryland’s Derik Queen showed some clutch genes by hitting a buzzer-beater against Colorado to advance to the Sweet 16. Maryland was one point down with 3.6 seconds when head coach Kevin Willard called a timeout.
Maryland gave the ball to Queen, who drove to the rim to score a bucket at the last second, sending the arena into a frenzy.
St. John’s Upset
One of the major upsets at the 2025 NCAA Tournament happened when the No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks defeated the No. 2 seed St. John’s Red Storm 75-66, ending St. John’s dream season in the Round of 32.
St. John’s, led by Rick Pitino, had won the Big East regular season title and the Big East Tournament title. They came into the tie heavily favored.

BYU defeated 11-seed VCU and number three seed Wisconsin to advance to just the sixth Sweet 16 appearance in program history,y where they eventually lost to Alabama.
