3:33 - The 3 point line didn’t come to all of college basketball until 1987. 10:20 - Billy Packer was talking about how Duke needed to move with more urgency than they were. He went to Wake Forest and was an ACC guy through and through. 14:53 - Billy Packer said that. To that point in time, every national championship game in the Superdome in New Orleans had been a classic game. UNC beat Georgetown in 1982 on Michael Jordan’s game winning shot and James Worthy catching Fred Brown’s errant pass. Indiana beat Syracuse in 1987 on Keith Smart’s game winner. UNC defeated Michigan and the Fab Five in 1993 when Chris Webber forgot how many timeouts he had. Then this game in 2003 when Syracuse beat Kansas by 3. 15:59 - Ok 19:00 - Indoor explosions can make anyone jump whether they’re expecting it or not. 22:22 - That Villanova team was incredible. They dominated all tournament. I’d jump up and down too…

That team was winning games in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s - it just didn't matter what opponents did it was so hard to match up to them.
