Louisville vs Georgetown 1982 NCAA Final Four (FULL GAME)

[@MrDuds1984]

Louisville made it to the final four in three of four years 80,82,83, the last two they lost to two NBA hall of fame big men

[@j22sanders]

86 won it all again too

[@e-t-y237]

And the other year in that stretch they lost in the tourney to a buzzer beater back court shot. Most brutal loss in the history of the NCAA tournament. Could have been 4 straight Final Fours.

[@billyd.1872]

They had the 3 final fours but I really think they were going to win it all in 81, when they lost on that crazy buzzer beater. They had the potential to make it to possibly 3 or 4 straight championship games if the ball bounced there way a few more times. They were really beat up for this game, Derick Smith, Eaves and Milt Wagner were all playing hurt.

love watching these old school games when college Basketball was college basketball

[@germslover6662]

I loved to watch college basketball when these guys were all playing.

[@germslover6662]

@Rayden Kane What the hell does this have to do with college basketball?

[@bobbyyoung4243]

I remember that CBS college basketball intro like it was yesterday.

[@Purpledawg-d9s]

College players who can play aren’t seniors anymore…it’s not the same

[@Biggdoom344]

Damn. This game was a war. Louisville is one of the underrated teams of that time. They had one Achilles heel, size. Ewing was the difference in this one. Kept them from driving to the hoop.

[@billyd.1872]

Charles Jones was 6'7 and Rodney Mcray was 6'6 maybe but they played some great defense against Ewing, at the midway point in the 2nd half he only had 4 points.

[@jamesbumphus583]

Next 3 years my Cardinals will back to this type of play! About to feel our Payne! #L1C4

[@bobbyyoung4243]

Right! I keep telling em to just be patient with kp.that's if they are true lou fan's.😏

[@Michael-dd6hl]

Good luck with that!!!!

[@BobCat623923]

Kenny Payne??

[@billyd.1872]

Yeah unfortunately it was the Cardinal fans who felt the pain 😢 but now a whole new era is about to start. I really like this new coach and the recruits he has brought in. I think they can make some noise this coming year. At the very least they will be much much better than they were the past 2 years.

[@anthonypetty2880]

love those PRO -KEDS.💯

[@johnhagan9271]

1979 was the most popular final four but 1982 was better you had four teams with at least two legitimate future NBA Starting prospects GEORGETOWN had Patrick Ewing & Eric (Sleepy) Floyd LOUISVILLE had Rodney McCray & Gordon Lancaster HOUSTON had Akeem aka Hakeem Olajuwon & Clyde Drexler and NORTH CAROLINA had 3 Michael Jordan, James Worthy & Sam Perkins

[@tedjones9301]

John Hagan Louisville had Derrick Smith also he was a pro

[@Biggdoom344]

1982 is the greatest final four ever. Four College HOF coaches in JT, Crum, Lewis and Smith. Four NBA hall of Fame players in Ewing, Drexler, Jordan and Olajuwon. Derek Smith, Milt Wagner , Lancaster Gordon and Rodney McCray from Louisville, Rob Williams, Michael Young and Larry Micheaux for Houston, sleepy Floyd, Billy Martin from Georgetown And Worthy, Perkins from UNC all played in the NBA.

[@brittanyvaneice]

@@Biggdoom344 Worthy is a Hall of Famer too. He wasnt name Big Game James for nothing.

[@zt1053]

But part of the appeal of the 79 final four was that Indiana St made it there their first time in the tournament and it set up the Bird Magic rivalry

[@bobbyyoung4243]

​@@Biggdoom344 No doubt about it. 💯

[@j22sanders]

If MiltWagner dnt have burn hands they play NC and beat MJ for national championship

[@nathaniellathy6559]

This game showed no more easy NCAA Tournament games for Georgetown

[@BigDave51]

My stepfather was huge Hoyas fan he took me to a lot of there games them Hoyas teams was to good to only win one national championship

[@DarrylKing-ur5km]

Great Game

[@joshturner3464]

[@michaelwhitehouse5282]

They should have implemented the shot clock. The game was basically over with 5 mins to go and the lead was only 7

[@dalejohnson3327]
