I would still love to see the game back in 87 when we waxed UNC and JR (overrated) Reid in the NCAA TourneyYeah, this is a game they never show on ESPN Classic. They're also running the '94 G'town game next week for the 1st time that I can recall.

I have that on VHS somewhere along with the Florida game. That was a great run.I would still love to see the game back in 87 when we waxed UNC and JR (overrated) Reid in the NCAA Tourney
It was really unfortunate that we had Mike Edwards as point guard (and Stevie Thompson as back up point guard). As talented as this team was, that was a glaring weakness. Plus, I was never a big LeRon Ellis fan, but he wasn't the reason that we didn't win the NC that year.Really enjoying this game so far. What an era. Cuse is playing MTM, DC's out there grabbing every rebound in sight, Billy Owens being top 10 in the conference in like every imaginable category (just showed a graphic of 18.4/8.7/5.2 APG, seemingly unthinkable for a collegiate player today)...in something of a twilight zone moment, LeRon Ellis and Stevie Thompson just knocked down back to back 3s. That might be the only time that ever happened DC's sporting some hair, I felt like he had abandoned that look earlier in his career; he's also just about the only guy out there who's not rockin a sweet flat top. Even seeing Johnnies like Robert Werdann, Jayson Williams, Boo Harvey, local kid Jason Buchanan and the late Malik Sealy is pretty cool.

I would love to see both of those games.I have that on VHS somewhere along with the Florida game. That was a great run.
If Kenny Anderson hadn't been bought and paid for by GTech, he would have been the missing piece of the puzzel.It was really unfortunate that we had Mike Edwards as point guard (and Stevie Thompson as back up point guard).

Agree, this is fun to watch. I don't ever remember seeing Stevie hit anything but dunks, layups and short j's. Hard to believe we had Coleman and Owens on the same team. Wow.

If Earl Duncan hadn't behaved like a selfish 19-year-old kid, he would have been the missing piece of the puzzle.
