Probably when we beat Michael Jordan and UNC to advance to the 1983 Final Four before losing to NC State and Jimmy V. Did it without Nique, too, which I find interesting
That's no doubt Georgia's biggest basketball win. I would add the 2007 post-tornado tournament win over Kentucky to the mix. Best win I witnessed personally was the 1990 win over Shaq, Stanley Roberts, and Chris Jackson in Athens that sealed the SEC regular season title.

Auburn at #1 Kentucky Jan 9, 1988
AU 53 - KY 52
Caylor was out of his mind that game. We actually weren't terrible that year. 11-7 in the SEC finished in a tie with UF for 2nd place. Got blown out by a Final Four Oklahoma team in the 2nd round. We sank like a stone the next year though.

Elite 8 win over Florida, in MSG.
Yes I was there.

Mizzou - Illinois Braggin Rights game Dec 22, 1993
Triple overtime win for MU 108-107
If not the most meaningful, it was the most exciting I can recall.

That Connecticut win in '96 was our biggest win. They had Ray Allen and were expected to play Kentucky for the title.
I always contend that if Princeton would not have upset UCLA in the first round, we wouldn't have made it to that game. We didn't match up well at all with UCLA (defending champs) and we played like shite against VCU and won.
Princeton's upset allowed us to move into the Sweet 16 round and we caught fire that weekend. No one in the country would have beaten us that night at Rupp Arena. Cincy two days later was no threat.

Kentucky, 1986 Southeast Regional final in Atlanta. LSU had lost to Kentucky twice in the regular season and in the SEC tournament. Fourth time was the charm, sent LSU to the Final Four and sent the top-seeded Wildcats home.
Then the next time LSU played Kentucky, the Tigers won by 35 at Rupp Arena, on ABC with Joe B. Hall on color analysis that day. True story.
ETA: The other right answer is 1978 in overtime at home against Kentucky. All five LSU starters fouled out in regulation. Kentucky was No. 1, lost twice that season (that was its last loss of the season) and won the national championship. That season set the stage for LSU to win SEC titles two of the next three seasons and go to the 1981 Final Four.

I wouldn't consider it the greatest, but taking down #1 Gonzaga in December 2018 ranks high.
Knocking out #2 Ohio State as a 6 seed in the 2010 NCAAT is the greatest victory in my lifetime. The subsequent loss to Michigan State still hurts.
Both of these were huge but #2 VOLS beating #1 Memphis with Derrick Rose at the FedEx Forum in 2008 was all time

I mean either of the two national title games

I mean, Auburn fans can say whatever game they feel like, but beating UK in overtime "for Chuma" after he went down with a torn ACL the game prior? You can't not say that game...

My vote would be vs kU in 2012.
#4 Mizzou was trailing #8 kansas by a score of 71-63 with roughly 2 minutes left. Marcus Denmon then exploded for 9 straight points and Mizzou ended up winning 74-71.

Our only win at Phog Allen came in January 2011 and ended a 69-game home winning streak. #Nice
Beating Mich St. in the 2003 Elite 8 in San Antonio was the loudest I've heard Texas basketball fans. Total Frenzy.
The loudest and most frenzied I've ever heard the Erwin Center is when they played OU in 2003 (when they had Hollis Price), 2016 (when they had Buddy Hield) and 2018 (when they had Trae Young and gameday was there). Absolute madhouse

I agree with the earlier poster who said the second one.
Beating UCLA to get our first was big.
Beating OSU to win back-to-back, the stated goal of the team who really had no reason to come back and do it other than that they wanted to, took that UF team and put them among the All Time Greats. The only other group since Wooden to do it was 91-92 Duke.
Maybe I'm just an insane homer, but there are plenty of one-off titles in basketball that don't really represent a memorable run of dominance: 95 UCLA, 97 Zona, 00 MSU, 02 Maryland, 03 Syracuse, 14 UConn, 19 UVA. Having the two b2b makes it more special.

Certainly the NC win over Duke and the win over #1 UNC with Jordan were big...but this was what started the flagship that is Arkansas basketball. Plus...every win over Texas is a good win.

“Kentucky 1996 SEC Tournament...It gave us the confidence we needed to make our Final Four Run.”
If you back up to 1995, State was trailing Florida 38-22 in the second half and we were getting pummeled by the Gators.
Then Daryl Wilson caught fire and we ended the game on a 48-9 run to win 70-47.
That game is what spurred State on to the Sweet Sixteen in 1995 and then on to the Final Four in 1996.
A 48-9 run and Florida was coming off a great season the previous year. That stretch of that particular game gave the team confidence that they could win any game. Later that same season we beat UK in Rupp arena.
But it all started with that comeback against Florida improbable as it was at the time.

For LSU- every win running up to the Final Four in ‘86. That was an amazing run and every game incredible in its own way. Triple OT win vs Purdue for the first Tournament win in 10 years, last second basket to beat #2 seeded Memphis State, shocking upset of #3 Georgia Tech in Atlanta and then the magical upset of #1 seed Kentucky to make it to the Final 4 after losing to them 3 times already that season.

Im going to say Virginia in the Final Four.
We were robbed.
