@@Zobin211 My husband's teammate, Marvin Deloatch told us. We've been looking for footage of the games for years. Marvin Deloatch and Guy Williams was in our wedding. The guys are still close. Bill Cartwright works at USF. They are still connected. 🤩
@@kimberlybowers2995 I looked up your husband's stats. Looks like he cracked the starting line-up as a senior. He got to play with Bill Cartwright for two years and then Quentin Dailey for two years - two all-time great Dons. He also got to play with Winford Boynes, Chubby Cox, and James Hardy. What a time to be a Don! Did you play sports, too?
I love this camera angle that's closer to the floor. Nowadays they film from farther away and it doesn't feel as immediate. With this game, I feel closer to the action on the floor
Really, the golden era of Notre Dame Basketball, pre-Big East. Once the Big East arrived, all of the east coast recruits who came to Notre Dame to play on National TV found out that they could play at home, and get everything that they wanted on the basketball court. It became much harder for Phelps to recruit at ND. GREAT TIME to be a Notre Dame basketball fan, though. People nowadays don't realize that, although ND didn't make more than one Final Four, they were a national basketball power.
I remember the hype surrounding the great San Francisco recruiting class that brought Cartwright, Boynes, and Hardy to the school. Yet we saw very little of them except in games like this, especially in the eastern time zones. Gosh, how I miss when college basketball had players you got to know because they played 4 years. It used to be my favorite sport but it's been ruined by "one and done".
So, THIS was the best ND team of that era. I thought it was '81, but I didn't start watching much until 81. This team was dynamite. #hanzlik was incredible. He was really the PG. I watched him a lot when he played for the Nuggets. I see why he was drafted in the first round while only averaging 7.6 points per game.
So strange that just two years ago USF was the team that was ranked #1 in the nation and Notre Dame was unranked. Of course we all know how that game turned out.....
The Irish were loaded. Maybe their best team ever. Tripucka, Woolridge, Hanzlik, and Laimbeer with a very good bench. Digger had an embarrassment of riches.
What an atmosphere. So much random noise plus letting the band perform while the ball is in play? It's like pro hoops overseas. Who could concentrate under those conditions today?
This was Irish first and only #1 seed ? They didnt even deserve it at 24-6. Independent teams had Georgetown and Syracuse with better records. Depaul was 26-6. Spartans won 28-6 and big ten . Duke was 22-9 get 2 seed in east with Heels #1. Also have hoyas and orange plus St johns in east. Indiana St deserved #1 seed but should have been in Mideast. Depaul and Marquette are sent to west on top of bracket. Arkansas and Louisville are on top of midwest with Bird and company with no one. This was still the Ncaa committee making Digger and all other Independent teams the shaft. Notre dame would have beat any team but spartans. Indiana St. WAS lucky to beat Arkansas in Elite 8. Depaul should have at least gone to overtime. 1974 team that broke UCLA 88 game streak was 26-2 and was made to play a playin game. 24 teams with only 1 team per conference had only 12 13 of top 25 teams in tournament. #3 irish played 9 michigan and also had #5 Marquette and 15th Vanderbilt in the region. 4 of top 15th ranked teams in 1 region. So a 26-3 maryland team. Indiana, Carolina didn't get a berth.
Didn’t DePaul beat the Irish that year? UCLA split with Notre Dame with each team winning in the other’s arena. The point is there were multiple teams that could’ve beaten Notre Dame in ‘79, not just an elite Michigan State team.
Love it, the uniforms, the shoes, the haircuts, the cheerleaders, the music, the commercials. Can watch games like these all day.
Same here
That gym was rocking those yrs

So cool! My husband is #43 Bart Bowers for USF! I can actually watch the guys play! 🤩
Did you just randomly run across this game, like me? How cool that you could see your husband!

Wow! You have several NBA players in game.

Thank you very much for this video!
Bill Cartwright was like 21 or 22 years old but he looked about 35 😂
Notre Dame had the best starting 5 in 79, but every team had to go through Bird n Magic and that spelled doomsday.
Whoever thought that Laimbeer would have the best pro career.
Magic & Kelser blasted the Irish.
So strange that just two years ago USF was the team that was ranked #1 in the nation and Notre Dame was unranked. Of course we all know how that game turned out.....
Notre Dame with 4 NBA players in their starting lineup who all had long careers.
Woolridge, Hanzlik, Laimbeer and Tripucka.
Welcome back
Great uploads. Would love to see any NBA from this era or later in the 1980s. Thanks from Australia.
1:45 Alternating possession did not take place until 1981 season.
I really thought Notre Dame was going to win a national championship with Tripucka and Woolridge.
You spelled Tripucka wrong.
@@Clywoo77 Good catch
@@ronsmac Thanks.
Is that Jim Karsallas(sp?) on play-by-play?
Jim Karvellas and Tom Hawkins on the call.
Loved when Karvellas was the announcer for the New York Cosmos in the seventies.
He’s trying to sound like Harry Kalas
Why would ND have blue on their court and no green? just curious.
The Irish were loaded. Maybe their best team ever. Tripucka, Woolridge, Hanzlik, and Laimbeer with a very good bench. Digger had an embarrassment of riches.
Back when coaches dressed like professionals. Not like background dancers in a hip hop video. Where have the standards gone?
Is their a way you can condense these?
I've never edited a basketball game. Not sure i'd know what to cut and what to keep honestly.
@@steelbuck6777 do u plan on doing more basketball videos
@@billywright1890 I don't have many, but there's a few.
Why condensed them?
Pleas don't do It.

When did #cartwright develop that ugly hitch and form he had in the NBA? His shot was way smoother in college. Did he break an arm or something? Lol
First fault of the match: Bill Laimbier, i cant explain 😂.
I know, like what are the chances?
You spelled Laimbeer wrong.
A bit off brand, but ok.

@@natch27 I agree. My point was that they were seeded #1 which they didn't deserve and should have been west 1.
