What’s better than a come-from-behind win at home won on a play in the final seconds?

Watching it again set to the music of “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion from the movie “Titanic.”

Quade Green’s layup gets the treatment from the Twitter account @TitanicHoops, which declares in its profile “Great moments in (mainly) basketball history are even better with Titanic music!”

While amusing, there is also a dark side to this account from a Kentucky fan’s standpoint. It also declares itself “President of the Luke Maye 4 National Player of the Year fan club.” Maye hit the shot that helped North Carolina knock Kentucky out of the NCAA Tournament last year.

Kentucky defeated Vanderbilt 83-81 in overtime Tuesday night after an improbable comeback from down five points with less than 30 seconds to go in regulation.
