01:54:05 WATFORD FOR THE WIN YES

Anytime I saw Georgetown lose it was a great night for college basketball. Hoosier here as well.

I was at the game. Really tough season for all that year. Unfortunate this incident was blown up into more than it was. Others have thrown things for sure in games.

That charging call on Dave Meyers, when he was undercut by a Kentucky player standing under the basket, is an all-time terrible call.

Richard Washington and AC Green attended the same high school, Benson Polytechnic high school in Portland and were coached by the legendary Dick Gray. I remember seeing a game at Wilson high school in Portland in maybes 1973 if memory serves seeing John wooden in the stands scouting Richard Washington. I guess he was impressed !

UCLA was SO GOOD..my goodness! and the anti-dunking rule has to go down as one of the dumbest rules in Amrican history! Its right up there with Prohibition!

Who knew that we would miss those ESPN announcers on SportsCenter and the different shows. Golden Age of sports programming

Living through this in Bloomington at the time was like...knowing all week long that a hurricane (Duke) is about to blow through town. Upon it's arrival, you watch from the shelter of your unfriendly neighbor's basement (Rupp Arena) as the winds punish your modest little house (Indiana) with precisely the demolition job you might have expected (1st half), before suddenly dissipating (8 minutes to go) and by some miracle, all the debris magically lifts off the ground (Moye goes nuts), and not only self-assembles (3-point barrage over Kent State), but somehow upgrades itself into a mansion (73-64 over Oklahoma). I mean, the plumbing was still all jacked up (64-52 loss to Maryland) but the euphoria was too overpowering for anyone to notice.

Walton and Wilkes together🎉!

What a deep UCLA team. Tommy Curtis and Dave Meyers coming off the bench. Wow.

Bill was " 6' 12" " 🙃

RIP Bill. The goat performance by a center in Ncaa history.

R.I.P. Bill Walton. Best college player ever. Man they called traveling and 3 seconds tight back then. And I noticed that no one could dribble between their legs then. That no duck rule was stupid. And it was only because the powers that be hated Kareem dunking.

I remember watching this. He got off in this game. It was unbelievable!!

Rip Bill Walton. You were a true dominanator! I have never seen someone perform under pressure the way you did. Rest easy big red.

On the news today I heard this story even though Larry Finch and Bill Walton were the opponents that night they became friends

RIP Bill Walton🙏🏻

RIP Legend 😢

RIP Bill Walton. I came here today to rewatch the best individual game performance in NCAA tournament history. What a legend.

I have forgotten more basketball than you will ever know you chump!!

No one could guard Larry Fitch...the greatest Tiger of them of all!

Refs were bad back then too, I see.

Thompson should have went man instead of zone against Villanova and pressured the ball when they tried to use the 4 corners offense to their advantage. Also I believe in change of pace on defense too, because Villanova was lowering them to sleep. Change of pace always works well against aggressive defense, such as the offense going slow makes the defense go slow. However, you should disguise your defense in a situation like this. Act relaxed on defense and then sneak up on them. Also Harold Jensen should not have been left wide open. He was a shooter, and someone should have denied him the ball. Don't play help off the shooter. Allow Pinkney to go 1 on 1 with Ewing.

I hated UCLA as a kid because I thought they kidnapped Patty Hearst. I later found out it wasn't the basketball team that kidnapped her but something called SLA.

Drollinger was pronounced Drolling-er, not 'drollinjer'. Curt used to drive us crazy.

The San Diego Sports Arena is that place still open? Last time I was there was back in the 70’s for the Doobie Brothers.

It's a shame the quality of the video of these historic games are so POOR !

Wooden had a great run, but even he knew it was time to leave. Other schools were catching up fast, and he knew it.

In 1973 the NCAA had a no-dunking rule, otherwise it would have been 25-of-26 for Bill Walton and 52 points. People forget that Walton had 4 baskets nullified for offensive goaltending and thus "settled" for 44 points on 21-of-22 shots. Walton's 44 was, AND STILL IS, a championship game record.

Notice when the coaches were introduced they showed Mackey on camera but not Bobby Knight.

Also Knight was really frustrated going into the game as IU was a preseason top five team and was really struggling in the Bug Ten. It was a case of one thing building on another and it didn’t take much to set Knight off.

Not one smile on the face of Robert Montgomery Knight. All business.

I don't have a clue where the Purdue at Indiana college basketball game from 2000 went.

A lot of talent on that court and no one and dones... Marques, Goose, Robey, Grevey, Washington but the best player on the court was Dave Meyers, absolute stud. You get the feeling for how Wooden strung together the titles through the years even when he didn't have Kareem or Walton... Meyers the senior All-American, solid role players in Trgovich, McCarter, Drollinger and some super sophomores in Marques and Richard Washington...

That was a pretty major choke job for Michigan, but considering this is one of the few bright moments in 20+ years of IU basketball, we take those

cheaters

With U2's song, Street With No Name playing,this is just amazing.

Leave the commercials out!

Notice the small amount of dribbling on offense. Everyone knew their spots on the floor and where everyone else would be. A piece of art.

1:22:08. If you're a PSU fan, that's what you're here for.

i saw many games in person and the rest on tv during this period. he had great players who learned to win through teamwork

You just don’t realize how this game has changed until you watch these old games. They actually called traveling, 3 seconds and charging.

i was fortunate to attend many games at Pauley Pavilion in my earky teens thanks to the generosity of my neighbor Bob Koenig. pre alcindor and the alcindor and walton years 10 NCAA championships in 12 years every gane was on television in Socal this was the greatest performance by any Bruin durinf thise years.

UCLA has been so bad since the mid 90s at best. It’s crazy

Gene Bartow, who would later coach at UCLA himself, one of the many who couldn't escape the shadow of John Wooden, actually has the 2nd highest winning percentage in Bruins history.

Announcer: "Memphis St. is not double-teaming Walton, we'll see if it works." Ron Howard Narrator Voice: "It didn't."

Beautiful

shout out to Hollis Price! Almost had an all Big 12 Final 1988 rematch of Kansas OU

I sooo wanted a Jared Jeffries as a Jr and a freshman Sean May on this team.

Nothing better than seeing the Loosiers lose
