Is NRG Stadium the Home of the Epic College Basketball Moment?

Houston's NRG Stadium has hosted two men's Final Four tournaments since 2016, both of which included moments that are sure to be remembered in college basketball history. Villanova's Kris Jenkins hit a buzzer-beating three to win the 2016 championship game and send fans into a frenzy. Over the weekend, San Diego State's Lamont Butler repeated the feat, hitting a mid-range jumper at the last second to send his team to their first-ever national title game. While the moment may not carry the same weight as Jenkins' shot, it was a memorable occasion that saw Aztecs fans, including the Show Grandmas, celebrating with passion. The Clover Lounge also hosted an SDSU basketball reunion that brought together players and coaches from over four decades, including former head coach Steve Fisher. The group reveled in the family and culture that have been fostered within the San Diego State program. As the Final Four comes to a close, it begs the question: is NRG Stadium the home of the epic college basketball moment?
