I am not an advocate for taking out the shot clock (although I wish it had stayed at :35, which allowed for a variety of styles), but it was sometimes interesting watching how teams probed the other's defenses. But there were so many things I loved about eras such as this when players stayed 4 years. As a Midwest kid, I used to get to know entire lineups for the Big Ten schools. Now you have the "one & done" guys or the ones onto their 3rd school.
I could only imagine how the good shooters back then would have benefitted from the 3 point line. I'm glad the NCAA did not adopt the 19' three point line that the ACC experimented with in 1982-83
That was a tournament of 32 teams... Every team was either conference champions or ranked in the top 20
McGuire would have a successful post coaching career as an analyst for NCAA on NBC just a couple years later.

Tark's forgotten Final Four run.
Think about it. In 1977, there was no 3 point shot or shot clock in college basketball. Also, the NCAA just recently reinstated the dunk.
Just think if there was a 3 point line and a shot clock back in that era!

Actually, the 1983 ACC line was only 17' 9". The 1987-2017 NCAA line was 19' 9".

Understood. I was replying to cfoster81's comment about the "19"...the ACC...1983"@@thesbytolbert7769

People who say literally when they mean figuratively make me want to barf - figuratively.
