1983 Louisville vs Kentucky Overtime period

[@drboyce]

Greatest game of my childhood. The people of Louisville had a parade after and my mother and I rode down Broadway real slow as people rode on top of their cars and honked their horns

[@stumpmtsr]

The "Iceman"...what a game! I was a big time UK fan until this game. U of L grabbed my heart in this game and I have been true Red since then...Go Cards!

[@HankFinkle11]

Coach Crum. Never too high or low. Great coach!

[@Junkman2008]

+FixEt Felix Crack is whack.

[@Junkman2008]

WORD.

[@squirestew4u]

Thank you so much for putting this back on youtube!

[@y2jedi]

This is the best and greatest video in the history of the internet.

[@phade2blaq]

When Louisville won this game in 1983, they should have left that taste in Kentucky's mouth and refused the series. That would have stuck in the crawl of UK fans for eternity.

[@Junkman2008]

WORD.

[@bobbyyoung4243]

Straight facts 💯

[@margaretmoore5686]

What a game. WOW! Joe B and Denney. Just love reliving the memories.

[@DrBoyceWatkins]

Great game. A classic

[@fifedawg1906]

THIS is the Dream Game!! Never gets old. Go CArds!!!

[@ASingleWeasel]

fifedawg1906 Go Cats I know they lost this year to the cards 70-73

[@ASingleWeasel]

fifedawg1906 but they are really better 21-5 (11-2)

[@shoota0075]

this game still sends chills down my back

[@OndrausCissell]

I was there and it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! What people don't realize is the fact that UofL has 4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS and uk ONLY HAS 5 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. The NCAA title was not considered a NATIONAL TITLE the first 2 times that uk won them. REAL college basketball historian know that!

[@Bryan_502]

Best Louisville team NOT to win a championship, but I will always remember beating UK in the 'Original' Dream Game. Ohhh.....the satisfaction; the memories.

[@paulsonj72]

@kingadalou -shot clock was expirimental form the 1982-83 through the 1984-85 seasons Meaning it was used for the regular season but not the NCAA tournament. Full use came in 1985-86 for all games including the NCAA tournament. The tree point shot became used full time in 1986-87

[@carseye1219]

It's sometimes nice to watch games without a shot clock, the decisions whether or not to play against a zone, to push pace or not, etc, in other words, the chess match. Not saying I want no clock today, but I wish they would have left it at 35 seconds, giving the less talented teams a chance to play at a different pace. The 30 second clock has homogenized the game.

[@nicole_writes]

Milt Wagner....I loved that man. lol

[@Bryan_502]

Last year's team couldn't hold a candle to 83's version of Louisville Cardinals. This team had NO WEAKNESSES. Far more athletic than 2008-09' squad; had one of best guard tandems in entire country (Milt Wagner & Lancaster Gordon); formidable frontcourt in the McCray Bros. & Charles Jones. It took one of the best, most athletic teams in the 20th century (Houston Cougars) to prevent them from winning it all.

[@mrbillykid2]

No matter what uk fans want to proclaim, they will never know nor understand the magic in Cardinal Country or the class and poise of the Cardinal nor the fans!!!!!Also, No matter how many win's,Championships, or final 4's Ky has, they will always have that "bad taste" in their widdle mouth's!....For many years the world wondered who was the best, UofK or Uofl and in 1983 the world found out....... It was......The University of Louisville!........Enough said!

[@LightboxX]

One of the greatest moments in CBB right here.

[@armyvet8279]

I was 14 and watched this game. Still a UofL fan! GO CARDS!!

[@OndrausCissell]

I was there and it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SFFOOL76]

That 1983 LOUISVILLE might have not won the championship, but however they might have won something more important they beat KENTUCKY to advance to the final four and restart a great rivalry. Not many fouls in the overtime, what a lot of dunks in this overtime. This was kharma for JOE B. HALL for being a yellow of a man by not playing louisville.

[@jw870206]

Louisville needs to do a throwback game with THESE jerseys.

[@RickRoss1024]

I'll always believe that was our greatest team. The only problem was the force called Houston that got in the way. You'll never find a regional final with this kind of rivalry again. I still can't believe it took an NCAA tournament matchup for Kentucky to play us.

[@abarlowa]

that is and will be the best game ever between the 2 schools.

[@bobbyyoung4243]

The ville was just better back in the day.

[@pamelaworley4122]

When Denny Crum puts the clean up crew in its a done deal

[@whtdude13]

Man I wasn't alive then but omg if I was I would have went f*ckin crazy!! Whata finish!!! GO CARDS!!!!!

[@hchs98]

Joe Hall should have inserted another ball handler when UofL went to the press in overtime. He should have had Beal, Minnifield, and Master as the ball handlers. Beal, Minnifield, Master, Hord, and Walker should have been the 5 for Kentucky. Louisville just beat them down the court. Joe Hall made a lot of personel mistakes and failed to reconize what Crum was doing before the game got out of hand.

[@bungalowjoe18]

I was there. 12 buck ticket.

[@ASingleWeasel]

Joe Bishop Joe B. Hall even though he lost he was better than Louisville's coach.

[@Junkman2008]

+Yung Pac Crack is a dangerous drug.

[@bungalowjoe18]

Explain yourself. The facts are facts. U of L was the team in the 90's and Crum was the coach.

[@pamelaworley4122]

FixEt Felix then maybe some one should've told his boss after the game

[@MeIn321]

FixEt Felix in your dreams

[@pamelaworley4122]

Now I remember why I didn't like billy packer this game

[@pamelaworley4122]

That New York connection. Wade Houston used to go to New York and reciut hard.

[@jamesvickers2026]

The McCray brothers from NY...Wagner an Billy Thompson...NJ...

[@LisaMAltemose]

Wasn't this the game that Kentucky's governor at the time, John Y. Brown Jr., had a suit made that was half blue, half red since he wouldn't take sides? BTW, I was born in Louisville, and I love both teams but my heart will always bleed blue #BBN

[@Fremen2]

You are correct sir!

[@graemespringer4643]

Justin Bowen I uploaded the first round 2007 NCAA tournament game Louisville vs Stanford. Lopez twins

[@pamelaworley4122]

And they ask why we call Denny Crum cool hand Luke

[@chigg141]

there is a category in which ul wins ul is the only team in college basketball to win all three major titles nit ncaa naib and in a few years football

[@mikeboblitt1494]

Lancaster, love to have him again

[@puterami123]

Happy 30th anniversary!

[@jw870206]

Louisville needs to throwback to these jerseys with the red-outlined black lettering.

[@kingadalou]

did they not have a shot clock?

[@jsome2348]

Those kitty cats wish that their crowd could be this loud!!!

[@chigg141]

@toddky32 that is why your world is called make believe and UofL won the NAIB and NIT and when UofL won them they were bigger than the NCAA tourny so that would make 4 titles for UofL

[@Majik2oo]

@jcaudill6921 what about when KY lost Middle Tennessee???

[@squirestew4u]

I think last year was.

[@velvamaticka2997]

Great game.

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

Would have been interesting to see how Kentucky would have matched up with Phi Slamma Jamma had they pulled this game out.

[@HankFinkle11]

They would have lost.

[@stephencabrera9476]

crum might have been the second greatest coach of all time, his mentor of course being #1, imo, oh by the way, how good was Houston? They wore this Louisville team to a frazzle and won going away with 13 dunks, I don’t give a damn about the next game

[@Majik2oo]

Dreams do come True!

[@jw870206]

Louisville dominance that I'd love to see this year, even if it's in Rupp Arena.

[@hmbarn01]

HISTORY SHALL REPEAT ITSELF THIS SATURDAY.

[@JulianWavy]

Go cards #L1C4

[@puterami123]

"Louisville is blowing them away right now!"

[@PatrickMcCool]

The game Joe Hall feared came true

[@dougtroklus8552]

What a win!

[@brianbullard8291]

If this game was played today. They would have called a bunch more fouls.

[@who8mahbacon]

that was a thrashing

[@TheMrSuge]

Joe B. Hall commits coaching malpractice in not using his time out until it was way way way way waaaaaaaay too late.

[@Junkman2008]

Ahhhh.... oh how I miss those days of the VCR. NOT.

[@marcuscompton3772]

I honestly told my daddy that Jim masters shouldn't have hit that shot because now they must be punished! I was a huge wrestling fan at that time too. Lol

[@stumpmtsr]

Man! I forgot how bad the Cardinal Birds costume looked back then...sure glad they changed that, but I think there was a female doing the bird at this time and was too small for the suit.

[@johnnybard9473]

Best overtime game ever

[@trhansen3244]

How bout that triple OT thriller atween Minnesota and Iowa at the old Iowa Fieldhouse on 2/27/1982 where the Gophers robbed the Hawkeyes with a win after a phantom foul 40 feet from the basket? Why, that ref gotta been a democrat!

[@Pugmaster2k10]

I saw the classic Cardinal Bird like 3 or 4 times. GO CARDS!

[@ehgamer3]

@duvalia yeah. Buddy!

[@BUSean]

20,908 views on March 24. My guess is this will be increasing very, very soon. Welcome Kentuckians. Welcome.

[@hmbarn01]

You do realize that Louisville is part of Kentucky too right?

[@jamesvickers9476]

hmbarn01 ...oh really...wow..thanks for the info... I thought it was part of N.J.

[@hmbarn01]

05:46 Ashton Kutcher?

[@jw870206]

@OndrausCissell Interesting.

[@hchs98]

That is the worst ball handling I have ever seen. There were a couple of passes that were just thrown directly to a Louisville player without a deflection or another Kentucky player close.

[@BBNTrashtalker]

When Louisville could actually beaat UK … Now it’s just a slaughter house GO CATS

[@HAGMAN3926]
