do you have the nova-georgetown game on your board

@MrUtahmike

I didn't tape that game. I was at Little Caesar's casino in Las Vegas. Not affiliated with pizza. They took the biggest action in town for 10 years.

That night in '85 there was only one other game, USFL with San Antonio at Portland. Gunslingers were 15 point underdog but won 33-0. Villanova was +8.5. A big bettor I knew planned to parlay $10,000 on both underdogs to win outright. His friend talked him out of it. Would have paid nearly $400,000. He was livid for days.

If there was a shot clock back then, houston would have run nc state of the court.

Same with Georgetown in 1985, but that is life.

@alansfather You did watch the game right? You know, the part where NC State didn't play slowdown?

[alansfather]

@Death2Sanity  The score was 54-52, Are you saying they were running up and down the court.
