Starting at about 7:10, NC State seems to go from 72 to 76 points with one basket. Perhaps they skipped a couple of points.

you see most teams were scared of U.C.L.A. when they walked out on the court N.C.STATE was not

What's with pronouncing Monty towe like "toe" ? It is pronounced like "ow"...like you just hurt yourself.

@TheLegacyofWrestling In my opinion, Norm Sloan is very underrated and he deserves a much higher standing in college basketball coaching history. Today he is almost never mentioned despite a national championship, over 600 career wins and success with multiple programs.

One thing is for sure..nobody pissed off Dean Smith more than Norm Sloan and Maryland's Lefty Drisell.

@Capybara91. The foot injury suffered in that NCAA Final against Memphis State took it out. He probably should have quit then or rehabbed it instead of playing the 1973-1974 but the pros were calling.

It's utterly absurd to argue that UCLA was the "better team" in this game. Character and determination are as much a part of a "winning team" as talent. Watch the game from the time UCLA is up by 7 pts in the second overtime and tell me that UCLA is the better team. NOT!

[Capybara91]

The better team is the one that won the game. I've always been a devout Wooden fan, but NC State capitalized on UCLA's turnovers, Thompson was amazing, and Burleson rose to the occasion. You can see Walton disappear in the last few minutes, and the rest of the Bruins follow suit. He wasn't the same player in 74 that he was in 73. The fire seemed to go out of him.

@ciscopack Keep dreaming Wolfpack fan. UCLA won 88 games in row. I will always believe the Bill Walton UCLA team was better than the David Thompson N. C. State team.

Not only did the better team win, they also were the best team the year before at 27-0. NC State Wolfpack that is.
