For the first time since 1938 the NCAA tournament is cancelled, which means many of the famous sports traditions surrounding March Madness will be missed this year.

One tradition that had stood the test of time is David Barrett’s song “One Shining Moment,” which is a signature moment every year.

Sports Illustrated's Ben Pickman got a chance to speak with the composer and get his thoughts on the iconic song and what it means to college basketball.

Here is Iowa's version.

In a season full of shining moments, we hope you enjoy a collection of some of our favorites: https://t.co/5zZXXnWYiW 💯
