An annual NCAA tournament tradition is arriving a bit early this year, as CBS will unveil its trademark "One Shining Moment" montage before Saturday's games. This year's edition of the three-minute long highlight video, which usually runs following the championship game, will consist entirely of moments from Duke's loss to Lehigh on Friday night.

"Over the years we've always taken into consideration what the fans like to see in our 'One Shining Moment' video, and year after year they tell us they want to see more of Duke losing," said CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus. "So with that in mind, we feel like we've already got the best possible video."

Duke, just two years removed from winning the national championship, was a heavy favorite against 15 seed Lehigh, but lost, 75-70, in the Round of 64. CBS production assistants immediately rushed the "One Shining Moment" montage into production, focusing on reaction shots of Duke players and coaches during the final seconds of the game.

"I think the best part of the video is when all the Duke fans realize they're losing in the first round," said Steve Walker, a PA who helped put together the montage. "Oh, wait 'second round'. Whatever the hell they're calling it these days. Whatever. Duke didn't win a game, and it's awesome."

The Duke Blue Devils were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16 on Thursday night, bringing the 2011 tournament to an early — but wildly successful — end.

"I'd like to thank all of the teams who participated in this year's effort to have Duke's season end hilariously in defeat on national television, or — as it's better known: the NCAA Tournament," said NCAA president Mark Emmert. "I think this will go down as one of the greatest tournaments of all-time. I mean, they got killed. It was great!"

Emmert also extended a special mention to the Arizona Wildcats for "putting a stake through the heart of the great satan."

Arizona head coach Sean Miller said his team felt like champions.

"This is what any basketball player dreams about growing up: destroying Duke in the NCAA Tournament, repeatedly dunking on their heads and just humiliating them in front of the whole nation," said Miller. "My guys are on top of the world. Because Duke is on the bottom."

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced today that the Blue Devils will skip the ACC Tournament in order to spend time making a trick shot video the program hopes will get a lot of views on YouTube.

"You have to be able to adapt in the game of basketball," said Krzyzewski. "And things have changed. Winning isn't what it's all about anymore. Today it's more about getting a lot of views and likes on YouTube. I'm not going to stand in the way of these kids' dreams. I mean, Nolan Smith can make a shot from half court through his legs. The world needs to see it."

Krzyzewski said his team's struggles down the stretch — losing two of its last three — is due to a change in practice habits.

"For the past month we've been spending most of our practice time working on our trick shots," said the coach. "I think it's impressive we've won any games at all. But not as impressive as Kyrie Irving's underhanded bank shot from the scorer's table."

That admission explains why several of Duke's late-game possessions in a loss to North Carolina on Saturday included half-court shots by blind-folded players.
