I really don't like it when Duke succeeds in basketball as a Kentucky fan. I am starting to have disdain for Arkansas' success too though, lol.

[@michaelholman517minKC]

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…

[@elhombrenegro4999]

Well the 3 point line came into all of NC2A basketball in the 1986-87 season, but some of the college used the 3 pt. line in their conference play before the NC2A had it some as of the ACC and Big 10, the ACC had it shorter then 19 feet

That Seton Hall Michigan game is a tournament classic nobody talks about. As a Georgetown Hoyas fan in the 80s, John Thompson got too much credit for being a great coach. He was a great recruiter but a poor strategic decision maker. He knew Villanova could not play an up tempo game but allowed them to control the tempo when Georgetown was deep enough to pressure them and wear Nova down. He was exposed this game and he didn’t reach the finals again.

They were both good, but the 2020 KU team was one of the most dominant I've ever seen. They played perimeter defense at a UVA/Texas Tech level and had plenty of offense. I'm a KU fan and don't remember any other squad except maybe 2008 that was so dominant. 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. That game against Dayton early in the year felt like a game in March for sure. Those guys were really, really good too.
