- In the Holiday season of 1980, UCLA visits DePaul in a match-up of two Top 5 teams. Can DePaul get revenge from UCLA's defeat of them in the 1980 NCAA tournament? Includes commercials. If this game looks familiar, it's since been blatantly ripped and uploaded by RUclips user Mercerr22.
(I received this game years ago in chunks - back when RUclips only allowed certain lengths of videos...I put it together when I saw it wasn't on RUclips. Hope this looks OK, and thanks again Richard!)

It showed Depaul’s recruiting of Chicago public league players was key to success
Al McGuire, Bobby Knight, Denny Crum and Johnny Orr certainly got plenty of Chicagoland greats. It was about time a hometown coaching legend got them.
Today, De Paul don't have any Chicago top players on the team. Most of them leave the state and the city basketball suffers. WHY? When does this PAIN stop?
Lute Olsen at Iowa got Chicago players also. Iowa was in the Final Four, 7 months before this game. 4 of their 5 starters were from Chicago
For some reason I liked college basketball on NBC than CBS. It's not that CBS did not do a great job, I just preferred NBC 's coverage to CBS's. BTW it sure is a shame that DePaul did not win a national championship during the Ron Meyer years, I thought those were some great teams & I was a big fan.
Lost to IndianaState in Final Four. Bird was great. Aguirre was Freshman. Had 24 and 12. Depaul was down 2 with the ball . Had 20 seconds and never got the ball down low to Aguirre. They probably would have won in OT. Ray Meyer was nothing but class in loss. Gave ISU credit, his kids same. Said if i had done this or that i would have given my kids a better chance to win.
I think in 81. Depaul was 26- 2. Virginia 25-3. Kentucky 26-6 lsu 26-8 virginia got deserved 1 seed in east. Kentucky got mideast. Lsu got midwest 1 seed. So the team with best record gets the West seed? Ended up losing to UCLA who finished 4th in pac 10. Had a 19- 10 record. Wash st. Was 24-6 was 3rd in pac10. No seed. I think that was 80. Cause 81 Notre Dame got beat by BYU on Anaige drive. That was in east region. UCLA was also in bottom of bracket. The independant schools always got shafted in tourney.
College basketball on #NBC is the best college basketball ever. It was a beautiful party hosted by two smart, silly #vaudevillians (Packer and McGuire) and the maestro, Dick "Oh my" Enberg.
NBC must have given Dick Enberg this weekend off as he would be in Pasadena on New Years Day for the Rose Bowl and then have NFL Playoff assignments after that.
Enberg had days off scattered throughout the college basketball season. He called the Rose Bowl 5 days after this game, and the Bills-Chargers divisional playoff 2 days after that.
McGuire was a great broadcaster. Very honest and didnt miss anything like madden
i love the old ads.
We used to drink reunite wine along with boones farm and md 20 20 back in the day
The ads compared to today's tell us so much. Back circa 1980, it was two-parent families owning homes.
Love the intro.
Cool hearing Bob Costas, first year NBC Sports announcer, calling this game with McGuire and Packer.
22:44, 39:28 Bob Costas said “BANG” before Mike Breen
Thanks!
Thank you, and good point! Maybe that's where Mike got it?
@@deputay Mike appeared on the Rex Chapman show and said this:
“I don’t remember the year. I wish I could remember the year it started to catch on but I do remember when I started using it. I used it on radio a little bit and I didn’t like it because I felt that for some reason it didn’t work on radio. Then I started doing it on TV. I was doing some high school games for Sports Channel America. I used it when someone makes a big shot because that’s when I started yelling at as a Fordham student. If a Fordham player hit a big shot and again there was no 3-point line, that’s what I would yell out in the stands.”
Respect for the B. Kostas haircut.
Bob Costas' voice is about two octaves higher than today. Of course this was a great match up loaded with talent before a fired up crowd.
I remember watching this game, as I was playing high school 🏀 @ the time, both teams were loaded with studs...
Good Ole college basketball
I never saw this game Before Looks Interesting, Bob Costas looks so Young! NBC Sports they give you the best seat in the House!
Let me know what you think!
This game was broadcast by NBC "...in association with TVS." I vaguely remember TVS from childhood. Wikipedia provides context: "NBC did not start airing regular season games until about 1975-76, when the network partnered with the ad-hoc sports service TVS Television Network. While NBC Sports' on-air talent was used, the production was covered by TVS."
TVS set the table for network coverage of regular season college games.
I went to school with Darren Daye for 6 years. Best player I ever played with or against
A forgotten great in that 1979 McDonald's All American Team. The best McDonald's team ever
Mark Aguirre and Terry CUmmings sure are Hall players. Thanks for the upload, hope they finally put Aguirre in the Pro Hall after putting in far worse players like MIng, Sampson, and McGrady, more of course.
You're welcome! This was an exciting team to watch
Somehow I acquired the NBC Sports and TVS banners displayed on either end of the scorer's table for this game
That's cool! Do you ever break them out or display them in the garage or something?
LA Times headline the following day: “De Paul De Stroys De Bruins”
Cool videos. I am sure I watched it live on TV. Big Demons fans, grew up down the street. Its cool that 7 of 10 starters were NBA players.
RIP Billy Packer
Coach Al took a lame job in first 2 years. Packer and Enberg talked NBC to give him job. They put him as sideline guy which Coach hated . Like MNF networks couldnt see 3 man team. Endberg and Packer convinced them Coach Al was a great fi It was!!. Like MLB of 60s 70s was. The best 3 man team ever. Coach Al never stop coaching and never stopped telling other ciaches to call timeoutes our to tell them their faults. I cannot remember the year when NBC showed 8 to 10 minute clip of Coach Al saying goodbye!!!. He had moved to A island in washington never telling anyone he was terminal. What a great guy. He talked about his family and his xoaches and kids that he had . Was a classy guy and a great man.
For like 18 games they had Aguirre-Bradshaw at guard, and Mitchem-Grubbs at forward, then afterwards put in Dillard and had Grubbs come off the bench, Aguirre back to forward.
If you want to look at great Chicago sports disappointments 80-81 DePaul probably is up there with the 69 Cubs, number in the nation and lost in first round. They lost two games that season by a total of two pts
Where was Dick Enberg? According to Wikipedia: "For two December games in 1980, Bob Costas filled in for Enberg (who was on NFL duty). The games were Indiana @ North Carolina (on the 20th) and UCLA @ DePaul the following week."
I'm not sure - this weekend was NFL Wildcard weekend with NBC only running 1 game. Charlie Jones did the play by play of that game. Maybe a holiday gift for a weekend off? With TVS (as you likely remember), NBC used to do a LOT of "game of the week" regional games & I'd guess Costas was doing some regional games.
@@deputay 👍You might be right. Wikipedia is often wrong.
@@ceddycedchin Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you bet it is often wrong. Enberg covered everything for NBC. He was probably in NFL mode that week.
Wow didn't notice the three pt line back then did anybody shoot it from there i was in high school at this time i know we didn't have it
I'm not sure why that was on the court at the Horizon unless the Bulls played a random game there. 3 point lines were up to each conference IF they would have it in conference play and WHERE the line would be. I remember the ACC's initially was comedic in how close it was & the WAC had one just beyond what was finally set by the NCAA for all schools by the start of the 86-87 season
The Bruins would get them back in the NCAA Tournament at the Round of 32, with DePaul at the Top Seed in the West.
That was before this game, in the 1980 tournament

Yes, I know. This was in December of 1979 where DePaul destroyed UCLA. Am I correct? Later in the 1980 NCAA Tournament, finishing 4 in the Pac-10, UCLA would find a way into "The Big Dance" and knock off Old Dominion in the First Round before their match with Top Seeded DePaul in which UCLA would prevail.
This sounds more like a Women's Tournament mentioning Old Dominion since the Monarchs were A Basketball Powerhouse on the Women's Side of the court, and UCLA Basketball was also strong on the Women's Side with Ann Meyers.
No this was 1980 (on the video title) during the 80-81 season. This was viewed as DePaul getting their revenge from the 1980 tournament. DePaul lost in the tournament to Saint Joseph's in the 1981 tournament, mirroring their early exit from the prior year.
