Secret Base | The heart-stopping final seconds of Carmelo Anthony's freshman title run need a deep rewind @SecretBaseSBN | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 6 hours ago
One coach was going to win his first, long-awaited title in the 2003 NCAA Men's Basketball Final. Kansas's Roy Williams had built a deep, senior-led team to bring the Jayhawks back to the precipice of glory. Jim Boeheim had finally gotten Syracuse back to the Superdome on the back of one of the greatest freshmen ever: Carmelo Anthony.

But in the end, it all came down to the little things: missed free throws, a kick-out to the corner, and one frantic, last-second close-out for the win.

Welcome to a moment in history. Let's rewind.
