I was a college hoops junkie as a kid and remember thinking it was great that NBC had "Triple-headers" on the tournament's weekends. Wow! so much basketball. Times change.
Great memories of watching a televised tournament game on the Oral Roberts University floor. "Expect a Miracle" logo on the sideline summed up the David vs Goliath quality of many first and second round matchups.
@sheridanclan6 I wonder if he was just there as a fan, because at that time, I think he was a scout for the Seattle Mariners. That was the same year that he tried to get them to draft Kirk Gibson, but they ignored him.
ND chemistry was fantastic on the floor from the socks to passing the basketball down court after a def rebound Diggers best team has to be 78 and 79 clubs
Guy Lewis and Digger Phelps pulled off victories over the best John Wooden UCLA teams in college basketball’s two most memorable games, but neither could ever win the title.
At the end of this clip, Enberg says he is sending it to Dick Stockton calling Duke vs Rhode Island. Do you happen to have any of that Duke game? If so, any chance you can confirm whether Billy Packer was the analyst working with Stockton on that game?
I don't think the TV broadcast is out there, but Duke has color silent film on its archive site : repository.duke.edu/dc/mbball/4cc20119-9845-4621-8345-7695bd2c8378 And, yes, per the Charlotte Observer on 3/11/78 Packer is paired with Stockton for the game. and the article also states it was a reunion of sorts. Stockton & Packer used to work Carolina Cougars ABA games together.
@@tjnd88 Packer worked with someone else during the first 2 weeks of the Tourney. Stockton and Gowdy in 78, Jim Simpson in 79 and Don Criqui in 80. Charlie Jones did one game with Billy in 79 (Soviet national team @ Louisville (exhibition))

No shot clock, anything can happen.
@57:16, that is a younger Jerry Krause in the stands.

Since 1981, alternating possession rule applied. The team that lost the opening tip got the arrow favouring them.
