1985 NCAA Basketball Championship

http://vault.ncaa.com/ The defending champion Georgetown Hoyas were a likely team to make it to the championship game in 1985. They were the No.1 team in the country and had Co-Player of the Year Patrick Ewing at center. Villanova, on the other hand, wasn't even ranked and had lost to the Hoyas both times the two teams met in the Big East play. Nevertheless, the underdog Wildcats shot 78.6 percent (22 for 28) and upset the highly favored Hoyas.

It sounds like you were a homer for whatever team was the best. You deserve to get your heart broken. Pick a team and stay with them through the good and bad.

@yungbru37: Cocaine doesn't exactly help you play better basketball. And if you let the other team shoot 85 percent from the field with a national championship on the line, you deserve to get your butt beat.

I'm glad this team won in my Kentucky Wildcats home, it makes me feel like anything can happen in that place.....

The NCAA didn't add the 3-point line until the 86-87 season.

Villanova cheated, one of the players was on cocaine that's why he was shooting so good.
