1981 North Carolina vs. Rutgers at MSG

An early season matchup at MSG. I do not own or profit from this video.

I think that Mike Jordan fella will turn out pretty good

Thank you for uploading - I was at this game, and the opener of the double-header, Princeton v OSU (Kellogg, Granville Waiters). A bit of history, first MJ game at MSG.

That Mike Jordan kid might be a pretty good player

Notice how the ball reacts when it hits the rim vs now

Hi Kelvin Troy here, thank you for uploading this video. I have never gotten the chance to see me and my teammates in our glory days. Is it possible to get in touch with you about acquiring some game tapes for myself? It would mean a lot to me and my family. Thanks, Kelvin RU RAH RAH!

[@jdthebooster]

Hey Kelvin, really neat to hear from you. Unfortunately i don't have any game tapes of Rutgers, just this one i pulled from ESPN Classic way back when and converted to DVD. You guys gave UNC a good run that night. Where in NJ did you go to HS? Do you keep in touch with Hinson, Fast Eddie and JB and all those guys?

[@christopherknox6810]

These rims are like the ones you see at the Fair! Seriously

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

If I am not mistaken, this is the oldest Raycom/JP Sports televised college basketball game to exist on tape.

[@mrlafayette1964]

Raycom was new then but JP games go back to the 50's

[@randydubin7118]

Yes! Finally, thank you!

Marty where's the old left-hander?

[@christopherknox6810]

To all that don't remember this time in basketball the rims had lids on them to stiff this is one of the reasons they modified the backboard and rim horrible goal design

[@randydubin7118]

0:11.

[@christopherknox6810]

Those rims suck
