BYU vs. Notre Dame: 1981 Sweet 16 | FULL GAME

BYU and former Boston Celtic Danny Ainge drove the length of the court past numerous Notre Dame players. Catching the inbound pass, Ainge weaved his way down the court and through the Irish defense to lay the ball in with just two seconds remaining. BYU advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history with the 51-50 win in this 1981 Sweet 16.

So much NBA talent in this game! Kite, Ainge and Roberts were also Celtics teammates.

[@debbiehenson1096]

This game is loaded with NBA talent. Ainge, Kite, Roberts, Tripuka, Paxon.

[@Koreabrad]

The no shot clock days.... a completely different game!

[@debbiehenson1096]

Two clutch shots from two great players.

That play ALONE got Ainge First-Team All American that year...no question!!!

[@braddskubinna5726]

That play alone?

[@Dr.ScatKohlenblo-nj2cv]

Not only had the AA teams already been announced, Ainge was first team all america as a junior as well. But I know what you mean.

[@Vgy926]

Notre Dame’s Joe Kleine transferred to Arkansas after the season and was a member of the Gold Medal winning USA team at the 1984 Summer Olympics. Kleine then played 15 seasons in the NBA, winning the title as a member of the 1998 Bulls.

[@stevenyates4535]

Digger should have used him..Andre had no skills

[@calvinnay814]

three future Celtics--Ainge, Greg Kite & Fred Roberts....and two future Bulls players, John Paxon & Orlando Woolridge.

[@Seattle-2017]

Plus Kelly Tripucka - Detroit Pistons. Four good but not great future NBA players (Ainge, Paxson, Woolridge and Tripucka) and two bench warmers.

[@steveborrero2416]

I'm loving these uploads would like to see the us reed shot for arkansas that dethroned defending champ louisville

[@GozarianGozar]

Paxson. Tripucka. Not a lot of D on that ND team.

[@stevenjm12]

What are these offensive foul calls for? The first 10 minutes there were 3 called and I have no idea why. 2 on byu 1 on ND

[@azariahstonar2787]

Digger Phelps stalling the Basketball in the first and second halfs for no reason.
Notre Dame with 4 future NBA players.
2 starters from Brigham Young Fouls Out.
Danny Aigne with 8 dribbles goes 92 feet for the win.
Lol

[@birdie3rdie]

I'm glad John Paxson got revenge against Danny Ainge through the Chicago Bulls first NBA Championship three-peat.

[@Dr.ScatKohlenblo-nj2cv]

This is the worst officiated game in NCAA history.
