Holy mackerel! Georgia Tech beats USC in 1992 NCAA tourney

Most fun I've had at an NCAA game where my school wasn't playing. I was in a luxury box on the same corner where the ball was inbounded. The only time I've heard the BC as loud was the NBA ECF finals game 6 Bucks-Sixers.

Are you sure this game was in the NCAA tournament? I thought it was just a regular season game.

Yes, 100%. Note at the beginning of the video it says "Second Round." This has been voted one of the greatest shots in NCAA tourney history.

Yeah, you're right.

Hi dmckenzie76.....

He was a scource of determination for me.....not polished by any means, just a blue -collar kinda guy that knew what he was talking about.....but his 'call' that day was I'm sure as genuine as he was and I hope more people realize it....I know I did.

Me too. Coach McGuire loved the game and never came across as phony or obsessed with self-promotion. This moment reflects pure shock, along with the joy he derived from college hoops. Sure, I hated him when he beat my Tar Heels in '77, but I learned a lot about the game by listening to the coach when he became a broadcaster.

I rooted for your 'Heels too......but sometimes the 'blue-collar' coach wins one,once in a while.....then when he became an announcer,teamed with another fav.of mine,Dick Enberg,as Dicik called all our 'local' UCLA Bruin games,boy, I never missed any of the games hey called for NBC. Holy Mackeral ! no one ever says that phrase,Maybe no one ever will.

Dick Enberg is one of those guys who can still bring it for CBS. And what a career! Broadcasting UCLA games at the pinnacle of its dominance, then getting all the prime gigs with national NBC telecasts. I've heard Holy Mackeral a few times on the golf course, but can't recall another broadcaster delving into McGuire's lexicon. BTW, McGuire cut his coaching teeth at Belmont Abbey College, a school only about 35 miles from me in Western N.C.

I will never forget this game. We had a good team that year, probably the best USC team in recent history. I thought we had that game in the bag. When he threw that prayer up I didn't think it had a chance in hell of going in. When it did the whole room fell dead silent....a sad day for USC.

is there any way i can see that whole video....call me a sally but I almost cried watching so many great endings in a row
