I think Louisville had a guard that used a tight latex glove to hold a prosthetic thumb on.

Yeah, college basketball was awesome in 80s and early 90s. Now, those guys would be one and done.

I was there. Here is another picture (not mine) that shows Ewing and just how far away some people were from the court.



And another one taken from the other end of the court

In the building.

If UNC wins it all, this will be the first title they've won in NOLA that I haven't been there in person.

The night when Mike Jordan became Michael Jordan, little did anyone know at the time. Also Worthy and Ewing were dominant forces that entire game.

Damn
I’m jealous
I wasn’t even alive for that game. What was all the talk about it leading up to the game? GT or UNC biased ?

It was about could Dean Smith finally win a title and about how Georgetown's persona was different and "urban". Plus there was the dichotomy of GU being an old, traditional pretty much all white university with the really black coach and basketball team. It was really more about the coaches than the players from what I remember with the TV broadcasts and my SI subscription.
