This U of L team had mad chemistry. 2 sharp shooters and excellent forwards. Billy Thompson had matured into one of the better all around players in Basketball.
This was the beginning of Duke basketball’s excellence under K. They would go on to make 6 of the next 7 FFs from 1988-1994, including 2 titles. By then Duke was a household name and love or hate um, most know the rest. Fun trivia: In 1985, the year prior to this tournament, Duke had a highly seeded team upset by Boston College in the 2nd round. They were coached by Gary Williams, who would go onto be a thorn in his side at Maryland. K got the better of it in the long run but quite the history between long tenured coaches. After that ‘85 upset Duke had really become Duke.
If you look closely at the very end, after Jeff Hall steals the final inbounds pass, inexplicably drives to basket and gets partially clotheslined by Danny Ferry, Hall chucks the ball at Ferry's legs. LMAO
Watching the 1986 NCAA Championship UofL vs Duke. Funny things to notice? No 3 point lines. The CBS announcers were hyped on Duke. "Duke is one half away from winning their first National Championship..." The Cards never gave up,featuring five future NBA players on the team. My first year at UofL, we were fresh off the 1980 NCAA Championship. There were still champions walking around campus. My freshman year we lost to Georgetown in the Final Four. My sophomore year, we beat UK before losing to Arkansas on a miracle shot. My junior year we lost to UK in the semifinals. My Senior year was NIT, then the following year we won the NCAA Championship vs Duke. Those were good years to be a UofL student and fan. So many memories.
At 4th Grade this was the first March Madness that captured my imagination. No one talks about this game as a huge upset in NCAA history. Believe this was the 1st Personalized Basketball designed for the Final Four, the First Championship Game with 45 second shot clock and the last college basketball game without the 3 point line. Thank you for posting this.
i know im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
I remember Jeff Hall. My mum worked at UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE in the 1980's! We were on edge this night. 🔥 Hot, Intince Action!!! Don't forget about Milt Wagner! They Duke University guys look their going to cry. I definitely understand that!
When I see this and then watch our current team lose to Furman at home, it makes me wonder if we are ever going to get back to the top of the mountain.
14:33 Brent Musburger has been commenting on the appearance of people on the air all the back to 1986. I still don't understand why people made such a big deal out of those Katherine Webb comments. It is just what he does.
With that he was commenting about her throughout the entire game. Had it just been one time it probably would have gone unnoticed. There is also a double standard when it comes to feminists so they wouldn't care if an announcer commenting about how good looking a guy is
This was pre- "hated" Duke... talented, but much more of a blue collar reputation with the likes of Henderson, Bilas, & Alarie. Dawkins& Amaker one of the best backcourt duos ever.
@@80sPastorDude Lol...guess I should've clarified my statement. The ACC was AWESOME back then, & there were heated match-ups all the time. ESPECIALLY Heels- Duke. From a national standpoint however, Duke wasn't perceived the way they have been since perhaps the Laettner years up to present time.
If the player awards were the same then as in past years those boxes contained watches which at the time was the NCAA individual award. Not sure what they do now for individual awards.
They are allowed to get individual awards and such. Also see what football teams can get as gifts for the bowl games they go without violating NCAA rules.
3 Duke starters and their box score FG's: Amaker 3-10, Alarie 4-11, and Henderson 5-15. That's 12-36 (33%). Alarie and Henderson fouled out. Pervis had a brilliant night, but that's how you lose a NC game.
Great game Coach K messed up over coaching essentially shutting down his own player Johnny Dawkins who had a good game but should have scored 40 they definitely should have won this game.
Your comment is extremely laughable..Never nervous Pervis had a solid career at the University of Louisville under Denny Crum tutelage which evolved as the 1# Overall Draft Pick in 89 to the Sac-Town Kings..Shots Fired💥🔫💯😎🤙🏽..
@@paulevans6773 He’s one of the most wasted number one draft picks ever. His sophomore year was terrible. He only scored three points in the metro conference championship game. Only reason Louisville won the metro in 88 and 89 was because Memphis state had their two best players declared ineligible shortly into the 8788 season. Louisville didn’t make the tournament in 87 And then didn’t get past the sweet 16 the next two years
As a Kentucky fan, it is good to see the Cards get the best of Duke. The Cards only own 2 national titles, so that isn't something the CATS (with 8) are even concerned about! Go Big BLUE!
This is another one of those games where if they played it 100 times Duke wins it.. maybe not 99 but at least 80. Everything went right for Louisville.
I have the 1980,1986, and 2013 national championship games on dvd.
Hell yeah! I was 17 when this happened and watched it! GO CARDS!!!!
Thanks for posting. I was in basic trainng and missed the entire tournament. The only one i missed since 1978.
Eddie Brown You missed the Camden Connection? Ice Wagner, Silk Walls, and the B.T. Express?
Come on man. Next time put basic training on hold!
Eddie Brown you played

Thanks for your uploading!
I'm looking for this game!
Outstanding quality! Thanks for posting!
Wow, I'm thinking the same thing 8-years later!
I had a brutal childhood ( like a lot of kids did ) but the 80s louisville teams were the most important things to me by far.
I was there ! Best time ever!

blown22 i
Yea that was a bitch ass move by Ferry....Jeff shoulda beaned him with the ball😂😂😂😂
Ferry was frequently on the giving end of the cheapshot.
Grayson Allen his successor.
@@jwainer4397 No, Christian Laettner was his successor. Grayson Allen is still a few generations down the road
@@saviorself1164 I remember Laettner as an intense in your face player, taunting...but dirty cheap shots? Don't recall those.
A lot of great future coaches, announcers, and gms on that Duke team. Amaker, Bilas, Snyder, Ferry, and Dawkins.

@Jesse Steven Instablaster =)
Duke was a 1.5 point favorite
I love Basketball. 1984 Us Kids Playing Basketball at this Old Garage!
I remember Jeff Hall. My mum worked at UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE in the 1980's! We were on edge this night. 🔥 Hot, Intince Action!!! Don't forget about Milt Wagner! They Duke University guys look their going to cry. I definitely understand that!
So weird it being 86 and NCAA not having the line.
Danny Ferry, what a jerk. Pulls of a thug play at the 0 second mark with a WWE move.
Both Johnny Dawkins and Tommy Amaker went on to be college head coaches, and in fact are still coaching today.
And Jay Bilas is one of the best college basketball analysts alive today.
When I see this and then watch our current team lose to Furman at home, it makes me wonder if we are ever going to get back to the top of the mountain.
Yea that one hurt, but Coach K celebrated his 5th championship title this year and is the NCAA leader in wins.
Goo cards!
Nobody is messing with duke and that's my good word 💯
The final season before the 3-point shot was brought to the college game.

As a UNC fan there is no "pre-hated Duke" for me. :)

It's Duke nation on always and that's my good word 💯💯💯
Pervis ain't nervous. Word to your mama.
A true heart breaker for the Dawkins and the Devils.
Once Coach Crum made it Jeff hall's mission to shut down Dawkins it was game over
3/31/1986....Nice to know the date....here it is
Random question. What are the boxes and in the boxes the players are receiving at the end of the game? Go Cards!
If the player awards were the same then as in past years those boxes contained watches which at the time was the NCAA individual award. Not sure what they do now for individual awards.
a chance at the NBA draft
John Paulson Hey wait!!! Those are gifts!! The NCAA breaking its own rules?
They are allowed to get individual awards and such. Also see what football teams can get as gifts for the bowl games they go without violating NCAA rules.
Timothy Dudley time
Fun fact: the last college game without the 3 point line.
3 Duke starters and their box score FG's: Amaker 3-10, Alarie 4-11, and Henderson 5-15. That's 12-36 (33%). Alarie and Henderson fouled out. Pervis had a brilliant night, but that's how you lose a NC game.
billy packer a duke lover that always hated Louisville and Crum.
At least he hated Kentucky too.
🥰💕👍💯! Just keep getting better.
Great game Coach K messed up over coaching essentially shutting down his own player Johnny Dawkins who had a good game but should have scored 40 they definitely should have won this game.
Love it anytime duke loses
I agree!
Ha Ha you’re a clown my man. How can you not like Duke? Must’ve hurt your feelings by beating your team. They tend to do that to a lot of teams.
It's Duke nation on always and that's my good word 💯
That's not Marv Albert.
You're absolutely right. It's Brent Musberger.
Update that upfromtheashes
PUT MILT IN!!!!!
🤗🙏
This was an abnormal performance by pervis ellison. He never played this good the rest of his career
Your comment is extremely laughable..Never nervous Pervis had a solid career at the University of Louisville under Denny Crum tutelage which evolved as the 1# Overall Draft Pick in 89 to the Sac-Town Kings..Shots Fired💥🔫💯😎🤙🏽..
He never played this well in the NBA. I will give you that
@@paulevans6773 He’s one of the most wasted number one draft picks ever. His sophomore year was terrible. He only scored three points in the metro conference championship game.

Louisville didn’t make the tournament in 87 And then didn’t get past the sweet 16 the next two years
He was injured in the NBA smh
At least Wagner admitted that Johnny Dawkins gave him the buisness...
"Business"..Dawkins got shut down in the second half..Crum ran a Box and 1 chaser with Jeff Hall..Go Cards!!😎🤙🏽..
As a Kentucky fan, it is good to see the Cards get the best of Duke. The Cards only own 2 national titles, so that isn't something the CATS (with 8) are even concerned about! Go Big BLUE!
It’s three titles. 2013 happened, period!
Shame you will never catch UCLA.
This is another one of those games where if they played it 100 times Duke wins it.. maybe not 99 but at least 80. Everything went right for Louisville.
