The answers to these "all time ever" questions are strictly a function of age and memory; neither of which is possible of being representative of "all time."
Well considering the question was "what do you consider", he didn't ask for an absolute. Sheesh.

When was that? I remember AA going to the hole against a 7 footer at the buzzer for the win against Tulsa, but I don't remember him hitting a half court shot.
That would be correct, he went the length of the floor and hit a layup over Jerome Jordan at the buzzer. Very awesome
I would like to add the Pierre Niles slap game vs UAB

You are correct. He drove the length of the court and floated it over the outstretched arm of the league's best shot blocker, what's his name.

That's right... I think I was confused with the half court shot that Demarre Carroll hit against us at the end of the half in 2009 S16. Sorry, my brain wasn't awake yet.

Cal later said the name of that play was "winner" and that the team had practiced it.

Beating Louisville at the Pyramid for the last time and storming the court
1 vs 2 (even though we lost)
Penny years vs Ark
I'm not old enough to really appreciate the Louisville rivalry of the 70s/80s
Beating OU / Tisdale to reach the FF
Beatdowns of Texas, Mich St and UCLA in '08
Beating Arky in the Tomb w/Penny
that would be my five
I agree with some of the other guys that beating Tisdale and OU is way up the list as well as the beatings of MSU, Texas and UCLA in 08. The beating of Arkansas with Penny and Vaughn too. The 24-0 start a Louisville with the Elliot Perry team really stands out also.
Penny against Arkansas, still the loudest game I've ever attended.
Beating Louisville in 85, I think that's when Keith rolled the dice?
A game at St Louis when Cedric inbounded the ball full court to Mingo (I think) who hit a layup at the buzzer just seconds after St Louis had scored to go up by 1.
Another worth mentioning is the game against St Louis when the freshman Kevin Fromm (77?) went nuts at the end of regulation to tie it up and then continued his level of play in OT to win it for the Tigers at the buzzer.
It was a long time ago and don't remember year. I had just graduated from college and living in Nashville, two blocks from the Vandy campus. Louisville and Memphis had tied for championship of old Metro Conference. A playoff game was to be played at a neutral site. My luck, Vandy. My brother, who lived in Memphis, said he'd get tickets. For whatever reason he didn't. I rushed over to Vandy ticket office to get four, only to be told that there was so little interest that the 1,000 tickets were returned to the two schools. Called dear old brother and told him to rush to coliseum ticket office. He did but the tickets had been sold out. So, I drove from Nashville to Memphis to watch the game being played 2 blocks from my house on my brother's 24-inch TV. Memphis lost in a dog fight. I was so mad at the loss, the situation and my brother that I jumped in my car and returned to my house two blocks from Vandy. I'm sure I saw the Tiger's bus heading west as I sped east on I-40.

Those were awesome and always a good laugh.
And the game against Louisville where the UL payer thought Keith Lee was shooting a 1 and 1 and threw the missed shot back to Keith and he proceeded to one step the lane and slam it down. The look on the faces of the UL players was awesome.

There were so many good games against Arkansas, is the one you're thinking of where Newsom caught fire and hit about 4 deep 3s in a five minute span?
