[@bobbyyoung4243]

I was a sophomore in high school,and remember this hype game very well.

[@rickimhotep1236]

Man! I had that 1982 Sports Illustrated with Ewing and Sampson on the cover.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@damons5534]

Great matchup. Back when many of all time greats played four years.

[@tarheelk1969]

How old are you? James Worthy left after 81-82. Ralph Sampson would leave after the year of 82-83 after they lost to N.C. State in the Elite 8.

[@taxpayer1962]

Lots of future NBA players and hall of Famers, this game was really huge and hyped up, I also enjoyed watching Houston cougars back then they never won but were fun to watch

[@Ronald-k1g]

Missing piece of the puzzle for Grown was, Reggie, he was in his last year at power house ,DUNBAR!, Bmore.

[@joseyeastwood]

Ralph and Patrick both stayed four years backed then now you have some kids do the one and done and they aren’t even ready.

[@damienkirksey7026]

If it wasn't for Patrick Ewing (knees) and Ralph Sampson (injuries) the NBA would have been incredible

[@markydkiehl]

[@beachlifebestlife]

sampson vs ewing.....i picked ewing and GT on that game

[@terrybrown4368]

Virginia,, one of the greatest team ever but NEVER won an acc or ncaa title!!

[@chrisoakley5830]

Sampson is my favorite college basketball player ever, wish he could have won a championship.

[@damienkirksey7026]

I wanted Ralph Sampson and Patrick Ewing to become NBA champion!! SMH

[@PowidzMalwa]

I remember this game was highly anticipated but was really a snoozefest on the court. Georgetown was highly overrated. This was easily the worst team of the Ewing era. They lost quite a bit from the previous year and were very young. I thought UVA was going to go undefeated that year.

[@tarheelk1969]

No way, you could honestly think that UVA was going to go undefeated......?! Remember they played in the BEST Conference of All Time. The ACC. They couldn't even handle N.C. State in the Elite 8.

[@PowidzMalwa]

@tarheelk1969 I am a Tar Heel fan. It took every bit of Wood, Worthy, Perkins, Jordan combined to beat UVA in 81 and 82. In 81I think UVA only lost 1 regular season game all year before losing to Maryland in ACC tournament and then to UNC in the Final Four. In 82 they lost 4 games total, including 2 squeakers to UNC. So yes minus a James Worthy at UNC I really thought UVA was going to go undefeated in 83. Still can't believe we swept them that year without Worthy.

I live near a town in North Carolina named Saratoga..... Lol

[@PowidzMalwa]

@@tarheelk1969 I'm from Fayetteville. But I served on the USS Saratoga in the early 90s in the Navy.

[@christopherredding5851]

Needed a shot clock back then and better commentators

[@dhart8451]

Especially the color analyst, he was awful

[@chrisoakley5830]

The play by play announcer is Skip Carey, His father was a legendary baseball announcer for the Chicago Cubs and he would later go on to have a big career in announcing MLB games as well, this is very early in his career.

Anthony Jones & Bill Martin could jump out of the gym…
