My biggest memory of that run was Howie Triche saying at the pep rally that we were gonna “go down there and kick some ass”! Coming from one of the quietest and most cerebral members of the team, the crowd went nuts! The look on Boeheim’s face...priceless!

Remember - Packer was Mr. ACC. Wake Forest guy, at heart. So he took that game personally, and sounded like a whiner when we kicked UNC's a$s.

I've probably watched that game 100 times over the years. Amazing talent, both rosters just laden with future NBA players and dripping with McD's all americans.

Someday if you get a chance it would be great to digitize that game and put it on YouTube. The Florida and Indiana games are there, but not that one. I haven't seen it since I watched it live.

First of all, screw Indiana.

But I've never heard any talk about the Indiana-UNLV game on the other half of the Final Four. 97-93? Was that game as good as the score indicates?

If you want to get really angry watch the LSU-Indiana elite 8 game for 1987.

Dale Brown really screwed up the last 3 minutes.
LSU was leading till the very end.

you might want to start with the refs in that game where they let Knight slam a phone in protest. No tech. By the way, LSU in New Orleans would have been no picnic.

23 points in the first half. About half of them on alley oops from Sherm.

wasn’t Packer in the Klan or something? Did he rape someone? He seemed to disappear fast from the scene.

He called Iverson a tough monkey

Are you confusing that with Howard Cosell? There was a short receiver on the Washington Redskins who Cosell called a "tough little monkey" on a Monday Night football game which caused a firestorm.

1987!!! My senior year!! So much fun, and those games and the final four were awesome!
I have these games on tape somewhere too. Great idea to pull them out, but need to find a working VCR.
