Wisconsin win on the all time list?
BYU Sports Nation just tweeted the question of where this win ranks all-time in BYU basketball history. I think there is some recency bias here, because while it is an incredible win, I don't necessarily think it is top 3. Maybe if we're only looking at post-season wins.

It got me thinking, what is the top five? As a 30-something who went to school during the Jimmer era, these are my top five from my memory (admittedly, I don't know much prior to 2009):

1) BYU vs Notre Dame, March 19, 1981; W 51-50
2) BYU at SDSU, February 26, 2011; W 80-67
3) BYU at Gonzaga, February 25, 2017; W 79-71
4) BYU vs SDSU, January 26, 2011; W 71-58
5) BYU vs Gonzaga, February 22, 2020: W 91-78

Is this way off? Should there instead be more tournament games? The Wisconsin game from Thursday? 2011 vs Gonzaga? 2010 vs Florida? Any of the games from this year's conference play?
