Came hear to remember this team since they're honoring them tomorrow at Rupp for the 40th anniversary! Thanks for the video...pretty good clarity (for the time)
I missed that they’ll be at Rupp tomorrow. I’ll definitely have to try to catch that! Thanks for commenting and for letting me know about them being honored. The credit for the clarity of the video goes to the person who shared it with me. Thanks again, and go Cats!
CBS Sports and prelude to Super Bowl XVIII. The GAME broadcast for Super Bowl XVIII was 4:30 ET and as a result this game broadcast came on the air at 12:30 ET with the Super Bowl Pregame show slated to start at 2:30. All times e astern.
@@patrickdaly5068 I found two more in the 1980’s. In 1987 they played Navy in the game where David Robinson went off for 45 points even though Kentucky won 80-69. In 1988 they played Norte Dame in Louisville on Super Bowl Sunday. The 1987 and 1988 games were on ABC and the 1988 game was right before the Super Bowl Pregame show as ABC had the Super Bowl in 1988
It is intriguing to think that Hakeem Abdul-Olajuwon had only been competing at the game of Basketball for only 2 years by the time he arrived at the University of Houston. A truly genetic marvel in terms of Gigantism and athleticism. That's why he was fun to watch at the University of Houston. Without his contributions for the Houston "Cougars" in his 3 years, "phi slamma jamma" would have been irrelevant.
As a UK fan I totally agree, when i was a teenager during this time my friends and i loved to watch him and Houston play. Truely a very special player in college basketball. We loved watching bb on tv.

my redskins let me down in that superbowl they kept hyping. but later, in march, my hoyas stepped up big time. it's remarkable that georgetown actually beat both of these teams decisively to win the crown. michael graham, the best college player to never play one game in the nba.
My Bengals have let me down in 3 Super Bowls, and they were all close. It’s frustrating that they’ve never pulled one out. And yes, the Hoyas were beasts in that year. I still can’t believe how poorly UK played against them in that 2nd half. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It must have been frightening to have been on the opposing side of one Hakeem Abdul-Olajuwon in the "N.C.A.A." An individual blessed with that much abundant athleticism and a giant. Even in this game though, that gifted athleticism was challenged. There was a sequence when the Basketball giant Hakeem Abdul-Olajuwon was running up and down the court 2 consecutive times, and was about to collapse. That was symbolic of just how competitive "N.C.A.A." Basketball was during the ultra-financially deregulated, win at all cost, President Reagan-era.
Under Joe B. Hall, Kentucky's best move was looking the other way while boosters were paying off players (26 former UK players interviewed for a 1985 Lexington Herald-Leader story they were handed 50 or 100 dollar bills by boosters and allowed to sell game tickets at inflated prices. The top players said they were making around $4,000 a year.)
Ironic how small the amount was. Even in 1985, that amount was below the poverty level if treated as an income. It was only in more recent decades that huge dollar figures entered into college basketball cheating. Louisville players in 2015 were putting more money than that into strippers' g-strings.
Isn't that the same moron that let Magic and Bird rot on the bench for the World tour in favor of his own Muppets. Sounds like a great guy... looking the other way. Maybe if Kentucky had learned from his mistakes they would not have been repeated
Yea, Kentucky is only school that happens at. Only one. No other coaches would do that! Man yall full of yourselves. The people there wasn't trying to cheat. They were taking care of kids like they were family. People just love basketball there! More than anywhere you can name. Louisville Kentucky is biggest city. Its 70% Kentucky fans. Basketball capital of the world. And they know ball! I'm sure nobody at LSU's ever took shaq out to eat. Are give free tickets to Michael Jordan at Carolina. Not a penny ever gave to Patrick Ewing. I bet zion got zero favors as well.
Yes, that is correct. UK used to play on SB Sunday quite a bit, several years in a row I think. I remember one year they played Oklahoma, and they won when Rex Chapman got a layup on a last second inbounds play from under the basket. Thanks for commenting!
If it wasn't for the bad 2nd half shooting in Seattle, I think we would have been the national champion, true cat's fan here,go big blue. Bye the way, whatever happened to Georgetown.
@@patrickdaly5068 That’s okay! You were right however. The NCAA did use the 3 point shot during the 1985-86 season. They just didn’t use it in the tournament during that season.
@@patrickdaly5068 christ i was watching that at a high school kegger as a 16 year old🤣. Think Kentucky was up four or five at the break? That bald headed Graham got a buncha dunks in the 2nd. Those were good days for basketball
@@patrickdaly5068 , Both of these teams would make it to the King Dome in Seattle for the Final Four just a couple of months later. Houston would take on Virginia who was the one sort of surprise team to make it to the Final Four that year, and Kentucky would face Georgetown with Patrick Ewing and company. Ended up being a Georgetown vs. Houston final, where once again a surpremely talented and loaded Houston Cougar team would lose their second straight NCAA final to Georgetown after having lost to N. C. State in the 1983 finals.
Rest in peace coach Joe B Hall.

Seems a little bit of a rip off, no?

@Greg Mengelt Well, outside of Kentucky he's known as an idiot. I guess he's known as an idiot in Kentucky as well
@@wtk6069 the story is about what UK did not UOFL.smh only Kentucky fans.🙄

It is hard to believe there is no 3 point line back then.
The way Villanova beat Georgetown in 85 finally lead to the shot clock, and I believe to some degree the 3 point shot as well.
In fall 1986, the three-point arc (now of high-school length) of 19' 9" was born.
Some conferences adopted the 3-pointer starting in 1981-82 as an experiment. Teams had to agree to it for non-conference regular season games
Your host is Gary Bender. Bill Packer, co-host. Don Shea is the referee. Dale Kelley, Bob Dibler, linesmen.
Not going to deny it however if you can find an interview with Bob Knight regarding John Wooden it would put the period in perspective.
What are you referring to? I thought at first you were replying to another comment.
I’m guessing this game was played right before coverage of Super Bowl XVIII?
Yes, that is correct. UK used to play on SB Sunday quite a bit, several years in a row I think. I remember one year they played Oklahoma, and they won when Rex Chapman got a layup on a last second inbounds play from under the basket. Thanks for commenting!
Back in the day where they actually called walks.

No 3-pointers back then?
Not until the 85-86 season.
@@patrickdaly5068 The 1987 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament was the first tournament to use the three-point shot.
@@mikevanriel7573 Yes, you’re right. I missed it by one year.

Fouling out the greatest stars of college ball … so dumb
Billy Packer sucked. He always hated Kentucky.
Billy Packer was so annoying.
Al McGuire kept him in check pretty well, though!
always thought that was an overrated kentucky team
