Richie Adams was so athletic. So smooth. Sad story about a troubled man. As a 12 year old I lived UNLV basketball. This game about killed me. Stressed me out.
I wonder if anyone will see this comment. Anyway, I remember a USU - UNLV game in the Spectrum in the winter of 1982/1983 that went into three overtimes and ended 148-146. At least that is how I remember it. We moved to Cache Valley in August 1982. It was that winter I believe, that I attended this game with my father. As for the 1985 game, I was out of the country the entire calendar year in 1985, so it could not have been that one that I remember. But I was there and saw it personally. I've searched the internet but have not been able to find individual game data from that far back. I do see the '83/84 season, but the game that particular year is not the one I remember.
This is the game you are referencing; it goes to three overtime periods and was the highest scoring college basketball game in history, at the time. The 1982 and 1983 games were nowhere near this high scoring.

For any era(and especially this one) a VERY high scoring game indeed.
Miss those days of real hoopin

UNLV had talent always.
Adams was a vicious dunker.
Great game.

UNLV loses regularly to USU these days.
