I just watched this again tonight after having heard that coach Carril passed away a few hours ago. Tears come to my eyes watching the beauty of the motion in that final Princeton play: pure fundamental basketball in the most cerebral sense … RIP coach !
I love the decision making: when the first back door cut wasn't there, the high post man held off, but patiently waited for the second one. The two were obviously on the same page, and that's smart basketball! 🏀
I guarantee you, as soon as the bracket came out this year....Coach Harrick said, "Fuck"... No one wanted to play Princeton in the mid-90's. Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before they would get one.
The second-round game against Michigan St. was good too. Right before the half, with the score tied 25-25, Michigan St. closed out the half with a perfectly executed. extremely athletic backdoor cut, and their players were giving high-fives all over the place. It was a nice show of respect.
@@bvalenz I have not. I just looked it up, though. I do remember that they were talking about taking away the Ivy League's Automatic Bid, and this game changed that. Thank you for mentioning it.
Pete had something to do last night with Princeton upsetting Arizona. R.I.P. Pete. He was one of the greatest ever coaches in the history of the sport.
I still remember that this game ended right before midnight and the announcers or studio guys making some corny line like "Cinderella leaves the ball before the strike of midnight".
I was only 8 years old. We were at this game but actually left early. We watched the rest of the game on a big TV back at the hotel lobby and everyone went nuts.

RIP coach !
And who better than Gus Johnson with the call, right?
I had to watch this again before we start March madness this year! Every time I watch this always reminds me why I love March madness
I bet Mr Carril would be so proud of the recent upset for Princeton over Arizona
Harrick seemed genuinely happy for Carril right there.

I guess if you play at Princeton, you have to have had some smarts. lol.
If you weren't cheering for Pete in this one, you have no heart :)
I was jumping up & down cause Pete is a great coach but most of all many like me doesn’t like UCLA.
Remember it like it was yesterday. This game was truly phenomenal at a time when upsets weren't nearly as common as they are now.
A real Hoosiers story in Indy! Most of the 43,000 fans were pulling for the Tigers, their home arena seats less than 9,000! 🏀
YAY! Princeton won!
RIP Pete, you were one of the most likable coaches of all time
RIP Pete Carril, what a legendary upset in his final season on the bench at Princeton

Censorship on TV

Favorite March Madness Moment
Pete like a boss in that time out.. "we got this"
Enjoying this anew after the 2023 Arizona upset. I was at UCLA and the crowd energy was wild!
It's been [25] years since the upset #11 time National Champs!
Can't believe this happened 24 years ago!
RIP Coach, the smart take from the strong.
The good old days. Pete Carril was a great coach! spread the floor and run the clock and get back door cuts for layups :)
I was at the 1989 Georgetown/Princeton game in Providence. I thought they had that one. Everybody in the stands wanted Princeton to win.
Have you seen the 30 for 30 short film called “The Billion Dollar Game”? It was about that game that altered NCAAB forever

Holy Shit that's Gus Johnson announcing.
His first tournament game. And what a way to start that journey

I was in a Hotel in Denver. I still remmeber this game.
