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.

radio187 really?

why do u think they call it March MADNESS?!?

giving "the little schools" a chance is what its all about

if they did play a series no one would watch the tournament untill the elite 8.

its probably the most exciting tournament in all of sports and thats why they shouldnt change it

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

@jooljetkmae You can still use the four corners even today. You just can't hold the ball forever like you could before the shot clock. Don Haskins used it to upset top-seeded Kansas in the '92 second round.

Villanova won for one reason--they shot about 80 percent. What people forget is that Georgetown shot great, too, at about 60 percent. And 'Nova flat-out gave the Hoyas fits both times they played in the regular season. I wasn't shocked when they won--but I didn't expect it to happen this way.
