Great tape of a great game. Jimmy looks like a teenager. A young Mike Tirico at the end, as well. The opening clip of the previous year's game showed one of the most heartbreaking defeats I've ever experienced. Sherman Douglas hits what appears to be the winner than Charles Smith, (whom Mike Lupica had a man crush on) tops him. The Hoyas beat us in New York the next week but we swept them the next year, including our first ever win in their place and the game where John Thompson got ejected in the Dome. We dominated the series after that. This game proved we could press when we wanted to.  I love Packer's comment that JB's speech to the fans "is what an angry coach sounds like in the locker room". :):p:D

Also: the graphic at the end says we were the first  team to draw a half million fans to their home games. We drew 537,949 to 19 home games that eyar, an average of 28,313. The next year we averaged 29,919, the NCAA record but had only 16 home games. So we've got the total record and the per game record. They many have just been counting tickets sold but in that era, those fannies were in the seats. I know because I had one of them.
