And 2 state championship HS coaches. An NCAA championship coach. An NAIA champ. This game was insane. Add to that 6 of the 13 USA WNT in the next Olympics.
Fun fact. This was the year BEFORE the NCAA adopted a smaller sized basketball for women's basketball, so this game is being played with the male (29.5) sized basketball.
One of the most classic games in basketball history. Cynthia Cooper won the first three WNBA MVP awards, and is in the Hall of Fame. Kim Mulkey won the National title with Angel Reese. Cheryl Miller scored 100 points in a game, and Dennis Rodman's sister is a legend in her own right. Pamela McGee is the mother of Javale....
What a game Cherl Miller the greatest female baller ever the McGee twinz and Cynthia Cooper Tech had players as well Laurence Rodman White and Coach Mulkey who was throwing some really ill passes.
Listen to the words Ann Meyers used to describe the white player versus the black player... ''Kim Mulkey is a very INTELLIGENT player, an academic All American.'' ''That was a UNINTELLIGENT play by Cynthia Cooper.': One thing that has been consistent over the years is how announcers were always quick to label the white athlete intelligent and the black player as athletic or has God given abilities.
Very true ….. this is the case in a lot of sports. The Williams sisters in tennis were known for their athleticism, speed and strength. Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb and others in football were known for their athleticism, not their intelligence. I and many others have noticed this over the years with sports announcers.
i just told a young guy from here, LA Techsters were a powerhouse back in the day. Pam Thomas from my old neighborhood. i remember the last second buzzer to North Carolina till this day in 1994
When the defender is still moving and when the defender undercuts the shooter that is not a charge. The officials were terrible in this game. Excellent way to fight back Lady Trojans 👏🏼 for the win!
Miller just played so hard it was OBVIOUS she had more intensity than anybody else playing that day!! Great game though..and Cynthia Cooper came a long way because she was shaky back then...lol
1:09:16: "Paula McGee is engaged to be married to Darryl Strawberry..." His first of 3 wives. Great athletic genes passed on, but that can't have been a picnic.
If you do the lineage tree here, this might be the inception of the next 3 decades of BOTH men's and women's basketball. Mulkey is a coaching GOAT. Miller, Cooper, Rodman and McGhee all are HoFers. 2 have younger brothers in the HoF. Multiple futre HS and NCAA coaches of distinction in this game. This was an important moment.
Extra credit to those sistas hoopin in jheri curls. Cheryl Miller looks like a modern player 40 years ago...still has a very credible argument as the women's GOAT.
1:17:36 Wasn't even close to being a charge yet since the beginning of time the commentor always got an explanation of why it was the right call. Apparently you now have to be perfectly straight upright while dribbling when a defender plows into you. 1:22:39 These 50/50 calls need to be no calls. Refs don't have to make a call declaring someone had an illegal advantage. Contact shouldn't mean automatic foul one way or the other.
Collars and/or sleeves were worn by many women's teams up through the early to mid '90's. Evansville's men were famous for wearing sleeves into the 90's as well.
I wonder if that's just how they called the game back then? At least they called it consistently for both teams. Part of me thinks the NBA's desire to emphasize scoring (and entertainment) is what influenced how block/charges are called currently vs. how it's called in this game.
I'm 7 minutes in and I'm calling cap on Sheryl miller being about to hang with guys in the NBA.. I've heard her story so many times. I came to watch her play in this video and was utterly disappointed.
Couple of things regarding the officiating. First this is a 2 person crew. Today all professional, college and high school varsity games have 3 person crews. There is a reason 3 person officiating became the norm at these levels to the extent possible. Simply put 3 sets of eyes are better than 2. Second, you do not have to stay set to take a charge. This is a common misunderstanding of the rules that people have. If the defender establishes legal guarding position they may move to keep it, as long as the movement isn’t forward into the offensive player.
Crazy! Never knew Rodman had a sister, that played, and played against Cheryl Miller! LJ interview brought me here.
Yep! 😁
And Kim Mulkey is in the game.... (Lsu coach and former Baylor coach)
Cynthia Cooper, too, with Javel Mcgee's mom and aunt WOW
@@MichaelJones-ke1xt wow! Thanks for info
Same bro! LJ said it and I had to come see for myself
All the big names in women's basketball were in this game. Miller, Cooper, Rodman, McGee, Mulkey. This is amazing!!!
Bunch of plumbers
@@dadillonfulNope..Cheryl the 🐐
They would have whooped you one on one though, let's be serious.
@@tristarea08 You must be a TS cause you have two different names. FOH!!!
You must be a T cause you have two different names. FOH, bish!!!
USC was truly legendary back in the day... My aunt is #15 😍😍💪🏽💪🏽💛❤️💛❤️
Actually la tech was legendary... beat them year before for a title and I think the year after...
From La Tech?? #15 White
1:00 Dennis Rodman older sister blocking Reggie millers older sister. Who would’ve thought these are big sisters of legendary nba guys
That moment when you came here for Cheryl Miller, but you realize that JaVale McGee's mother and aunt are both in this game... #11 #30
i remember the mcgee twins back in the day. for whatever reason i couldn't make the connection to javale. thank you for that.
Also Cynthia Cooper the first and 2x WNBA MVP, 4x Finals MVP, Kim Mulkey for La Tech, HOF coach.
And Dennis Rodman All American sister is in this game too for Louisiana Tech, Debra Rodman #44 and Lawrence Roberts mom is in this game too
Twin towers
Kim Mulkey is who she said she is 😮 hight has nothing on her, very passionate, always controlling
Dennis Rodmans big sister Debra Rodman is in this game. It's crazy all the connections to people and these female basketball careers later.
Thanks. I was gonna look her up to see if they’re related.
Also javael McGee mom / aunt are on Cheryl's millers team
@@dmailaddress25 Just watch the ESPN documentary of Dennis. You'll see her there.
Cheryl Miller looks like Reggie Miller.
she the one made Rodman tougher she was his teacher they hoping in they warm up jersey LA tech raw for that
One of the greatest games in college basketball history, men or women. At least 6 HoFers on one court!
And 2 state championship HS coaches. An NCAA championship coach. An NAIA champ. This game was insane. Add to that 6 of the 13 USA WNT in the next Olympics.
Wow a lot of degrees of separation here... Cheryl Miller, Cynthia Cooper, Kim Mulkey, Deborah Rodman, Pam McGee.
Who?
Cheryl Miller Knuckleheads interview bought me her lol!!
Same
Me 2
Me TOO!!!! I didn't know Mulkey played against her and the officiating was horrible....
@reginaldrodges9358 lol, yes the officiating was getting on my last nerve.
Me too 😂
I dont think people understand the legends that are in this game.
wow mulkey got hosed on that charge at the end of the game, what a horrible call
@@evolutionofcando379 yup
💯
I believe this is the best all around basketball game I've ever seen from a woman. Congrats Cheryl. You are the GWOAT.
I remember watching this broadcast. Thrilling game. Cheryl Miller triumphantly kicking the ball at end is a lasting memory!!!
Fun fact. This was the year BEFORE the NCAA adopted a smaller sized basketball for women's basketball, so this game is being played with the male (29.5) sized basketball.
Man I used to love Cheryl Miller as a basketball player it was just something about her she stood out from rest

So Dennis Rodman & Reggie Miller we’re inspired by their big sisters to play ball, this is amazing
Reggie miller used to get beat by Cheryl all the time
Reggie couldn't BEAT Cheryl back in their Riverside days. She was the legend of the family. He was Cheryl's kid brother for years.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot2 He probably could beat her now, now that she’s a lot older & a little slower 😆😆😆
I mean, they're only 2 years apart.@jleron22
@@Aaris15 oh word, who Cheryl & Reggie?
This game is goated idc a lot of legends on the court

Lol 😂😆
Cynthia Cooper BEEN PLAYING BALLING SINCE '83???? #nice
Absolutely yes.
Boy Kim Mulkey could really play and she's tiny.
Kinda cute, too. It's weird to see her now.
Thank God I was looking all over the Internet for this game
March Madness can you make a highlight filim of Cheryl Millers final 4?
Ms. Miller is a Bucket and a Gamer. Its Crazy! Respect! XUP!
i just told a young guy from here, LA Techsters were a powerhouse back in the day. Pam Thomas from my old neighborhood. i remember the last second buzzer to North Carolina till this day in 1994
Look at Kim Mulkey 😭🔥🔥🔥 Man Cheryl Miller was tuff she had Aura to✨ Cheryl and Cynthia on the same team is insane
Dennis Rodman’s sister and Karl Malone were there at Tech around the same time
First 20 min of the game I'm just like "i know who that short white girl is for Tech." Looks up her name "OHHHHHH THAT IS HER!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!"
40 years later that USC women's college basketball team is still great
Cheryl Miller looks like Reggie Miller.
@@reggaefan2700 Cheryl Miller is the greatest women's basketball player of all time

Larry Johnson interview on all the smoke brought me here 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Me, too.
When the defender is still moving and when the defender undercuts the shooter that is not a charge. The officials were terrible in this game. Excellent way to fight back Lady Trojans 👏🏼 for the win!
I can't believe how many dodgy calls there were, especially down the stretch.
Blocking all the way. No way that was a charge
sounds like wnba roster of players and coached- lowkey legends
Young Cynthia Cooper!
That Kim Girl is going to be a Great Coach!!!
Thanks LJ
Reggie Miller runs just like his big sister!!
The defense by Miller at the end was smart to make sure Kim Mulkey didn't score, great game by all time legends in this one.
Miller just played so hard it was OBVIOUS she had more intensity than anybody else playing that day!! Great game though..and Cynthia Cooper came a long way because she was shaky back then...lol
These ladies could seriously ball.
Who all is here because of the Larry Johnson interview 😂
1:09:16: "Paula McGee is engaged to be married to Darryl Strawberry..." His first of 3 wives. Great athletic genes passed on, but that can't have been a picnic.
Jehri curls in effect
😂😂😂
I had never heard of Jennifer White before today, but she was balling out.
This is beyond great. 💯
Cheryl tha Pearl was a pro as a freshman. Icon for sure
Tough loss… but I love Reggie’s Sister … Kim Mulkey brought me here … go Lady Tigers vs Gamecocks tomorrow!
Larry Johnson brought me here
Kim Mulkey walked around and controlled the game really well.
I like her speed 😏
If you do the lineage tree here, this might be the inception of the next 3 decades of BOTH men's and women's basketball.
Mulkey is a coaching GOAT. Miller, Cooper, Rodman and McGhee all are HoFers. 2 have younger brothers in the HoF.
Multiple futre HS and NCAA coaches of distinction in this game. This was an important moment.
Wow. That was an awesome game.
I loved watching the foul war between Miller and Mulkey. #Smarts
better than today WNBA
Cynthia cooper and cheryl miller on the same team is unfair. 😂
The wnba should watch this game these women have good fundamentals and team work
Extra credit to those sistas hoopin in jheri curls. Cheryl Miller looks like a modern player 40 years ago...still has a very credible argument as the women's GOAT.
Man if they had wnba back then she would of been the greatest wnba player
Absolutely yes she would have ruled!
Mulkey should have pulled up for a short jumper. That charge ended the game
March Madness can your team put a highlight video together of Cheryl Miller?
You do not have to be a statue to draw a charge. When the defender beats the offensive player to the spot, it is a charge.
BRING BACK COLLARED BASKETBALL UNIFORMS!!!!
Meanwhile, LSU’s current women’s coach Kim Mulkey running the point
Those tech uniforms are kinda fly
That LA Tech C was skying. The tip-off, followed by the immediate entry pass. 😮
She really could play.
I remember Louisiana Tech always had a squad in the 80’s
Cheryl Miller being Cheryl Miller.
I'm here because of grandma ma Larry Johnson for you young folks he said Denis Rodman have a sisbetter than him😅 had to see
Jennifer white was a dawg, her defense looked funny lol but she was locked in
5 players in this game is HOF no doubt
Here because LJ said Rodman had a sister who beat USC in the championship game.I never knew Rodman had a sister who played basketball!👍🏾
Funny I thgt I saw Reggie’s form whn she shot
Watching the action I think the ladies move the ball pretty well…
Kim mulkey was nice!!!

some head coaches in here
The refs were terrible at calls during this game. They were blowing the whistle at the right time sometimes but calling the wrong offenses.
They were trying to fix it
I wonder if that charge that LA Tech committed inspired the scene in Love and Basketball where Monica took the charge against LA Tech.
lady tech uniforms are so beautiful. love the collar shirt... all unis should be like this
no. maybe as warmups but not as jerseys. sleeves and collars need to be a thing of the past lol
Yea La Tech uniforms where ahead of everyone by far.
Collars and/or sleeves were worn by many women's teams up through the early to mid '90's.
Evansville's men were famous for wearing sleeves into the 90's as well.
That was not a charge they called on Mulkey.
That shot chart😂😂
I wonder if that's just how they called the game back then? At least they called it consistently for both teams.
Part of me thinks the NBA's desire to emphasize scoring (and entertainment) is what influenced how block/charges are called currently vs. how it's called in this game.
Dennis Rodman's sister and USC with Cheryl Miller, Cynthia Cooper and Pam Mcgee ( Javale's mom)
And Paula McGee, JaVale's aunt.
Coach Mulvey from lsu angel resse playing wow
Someone tell Ann Meyers that she's not the G.O.A.T
She's not even close!!!
@@steelcurtainsteeler2249😂😂😂😂
What is a Lady Techster?
Yeah, that was a blocking foul if I ever saw one...she's still moving sideways.
why have coaches they have no plays and dont set pics
Legends everywhere

This is just one game not her entire career.😊
JUJU on da beat is trying to bring a Championship back to So Cal let’s go!!
I have heard of this game through women of Troy!
Those Louisiana uniforms are cute but probably mad annoying to play in
1:22:32 Backcourt violation with 20 seconds left
Perhaps you didn't see the rules at the start of the video which pointed out that the there was no backcourt violation rule for this game.
This was officiated terribly. The charging fouls were bogus
relax!! the game of Basketball was 40 years younger
It was not a charge.
This was a good game.
