championship is underway Eric Smith I got the Hancock that win over Louisville sleepy Floyd over 2,000 points in his career at Georgetown the all-time leading scorer has to get it back out to round a North Carolina play it's a tough man to man defense into Ewing fadeaway jumper now here comes the full-court French its Perkins back there to help the guard Falzon red-brown almost came up with a steal but you and that's got to give that young freshman some confidence to hit that first shot he had eight points in the first game and ten rebounds Matt Doherty [Applause] is already been established in this game you can see right there Georgetown going to give Daugherty the shot early in the game to show that he can make it Georgetown came into this tourney shooting over 63% for the field boy tries to follow his own shot Jimmy blocks a today before up to Jordi has not been shooting as well in the final four [Applause] terrific Nance as far as quickness goes that's it off to Hancock and a rebound from 20 Jimmy black hit the deck underneath the basket no Splatt black has been shooting very well in this tournament [Applause] that was not a wise play on his part James Worthy will not be intimidated with that type of goal Ken because the ball was obviously in the way down pat fuming was right under the basket boy does that shot show you how high up in the air he got it seven foot the price pence on Cambridge messages [Applause] underrated playmaker here's the full-court pressure Eric Smith he can play the defense he was second in assists on the team and wanted assists that was Jordy what pressure from Smith look at Smith he's really tough defensively brings it out to Jordan where it's down in the zone now Hancock much more aware of another man a man Perkins and Harris Ewing having to go out on purpose to retire another rebound off to Eric spent to Hancock he travel to the ball surprise Chloe the Georgetown has been a man this early rather showings from different looks there's John Thompson is still in the two-two-one with a little diamond full-court pressure but it hadn't bothered North Carolina yet hope these teams with great boys John Thompson has worked with his young Club all year [Applause] two turnovers against North Carolina in during his plane remarkably well both teams are very tight here's shilling again he was not getting that shot against picked up 4.6 to Georgetown now with Ewing back there's a two-on-one let's see it North Carolina tries to take it to it 43% of the tournament brings it out to Perkins who had 25 points and 10 rebounds in that win against Houston broken up saved by Perkins almost stolen that time by Fred Brown here's James Worthy [Applause] Thompson's trying to work the officials a little bit here but you can't block those kind of shots against the worthier Perkins when you're standing right into the basket because they're balls going to come down quickly and there you see it boy is he getting up there though worthy is challenging him thus far Georgetown will the two-point lead 6 for 16 45 to go in the first half Ed Sprague's has checked in he has a basketball rebound Jordan tries to get face breaks and an excellent game on Saturday comes in gives him the trim pillars in here with Pat Ewing he had 5 points and 7 rebounds in that win that they had Saturday he is 26 years old a co-captain of Georgetown here is black what a matchup this is going to be Floyd and black all evening long Perkins long ways out for the pivot rebound [Applause] era sleepy Floyd he lost it [Applause] by Jimmy black right now both teams have not settled down into what they would like to do you can see the nervous energy coming out here in the Superdome you'll see the action Jimmy black the reason he wasn't back forth the ball had to come over yet but how good his body control was if ball was tipped out of bounds by Georgetown reset it at the 16:05 new rule in college basketball but this year hadn't come into play that much but both feet and the ball must be over half-court in order for you to be in a backcourt situation Perkins brings it back out of the Bronx here's more here's the zone now you can see right there Ewing in the middle it's a big zone with you in there a lot of times as top spreads right now doing the job for rebound followed by [Applause] out of control [Applause] it was a good call Brown trying to make is he first John just a moment ago when the wind milling his arms not happy about the third turnover his team has already committed in this game at the 1534 Mark Anthony Jones will now check in a freshman out of Washington DC Brown and turned the ball over will check out Jones had four points and three rebounds in that win against Louisville when strakes comes into the game it really makes this press tough because he is so big you have a hard time throwing the ball over you still have Ewing at the end there's a lob North Carolina's missed three straight from the field they're two of seven they shot 59% in their hand but they the only team thus far in this final four to shoot better here in the Superdome since the tournament play began great help by Eric Smith festival let you get them all inside not losing their presence right now but georgetown playing great defense floyd reaching in [Applause] and the reason that was not a goal 10 is because the ball we're gonna have a timeout 14:52 to go ship game from the Superdome a two-point lead for Georgetown this is the way Georgetown destroyed the West their margin to victory of 16 points over Wyoming Fresno State and Oregon State event immediately will air on Saturday the other hand North Carolina coming out of the East region they were the top seed their top win over James Madison Alabama and defeating Houston surprises at this ball game people haven't really taken the ball at anybody Ewing's doing a good job occupying all that space as usual in the middle Buzz Peterson number 22 a bracelet has checked in there he is with a basketball here is Doherty there's that zone extremely active Riggs coming out to play 25 feet away from the - that is really versatility to have your two men that quit that agile to jump out at you North Carolina's joy good patience trying to tie this ballgame up nice pass the pumpkins puffing that time Perkins challenged him Perkins did challenge him but he was a little hasn't been taken in for the dunk it's a beautiful fish off here by worthy when he gets Ewing up there to be occupied Perkins goes right in gets hit with a hit with the body Perkins would go to the line a brilliant game that he had in Saturday's action 25 points 10 rebounds he has been shooting from the free-throw line percent from the tournament boy look at that that's why this whole North Carolina team has been Billy they're shooting above their regular season staff they're playing very tight right now and I'm sure Dean Smith recognizes that basketball people out here over the weekend after the game Saturday and most of them felt going way back there Hank I've been all the rest at that game the most tenacious defense by few teams ever seen in Final Four action it was not artistic but it was intense Anthony [Applause] [Music] and Georgetown after those missed free-throws has jumped to an eight for lead dirty accent into Jimmy black [Applause] that's a very significant car right there with Ewing when he goes up there to try to swat these shots away now he has to be a little bit more careful because if they're going to call it tight looking like goaltending most of the time which they have been that ball head hit off the backboard and was coming down and he might as well forget the point I'll say one thing for you he is not timid [Applause] Eric Smith party at six foot eight handling the ball extremely well [Applause] there we go chicken sprigs out all over the floor [Applause] we turnovers against Carolina Brett Brown is going to check back in and Eric Smith will catch a breather North Carolina has not put in the ball in the hole they've had three goaltending calls that's how they scored their point they're playing very tentatively so far I see Joyce downs come out of the box of the much more positive looking game 13:22 to go first [Applause] down to the ten six lead I should say 12 six lead at the 13 11 mark North Carolina under Dean Smith has never won the championship game the fourth time they've been in this championship game Michael Jordan nice pass to Perkins Ewing got a piece of it [Applause] Thompson really try to work none want Patrick was just the freshman to get this curve [Applause] goes on the way down no question they for going at the other Jones [Applause] he led this team in steals that you can see how aware he is he has an amazing Freddie Brown is amazing in this respect the late on that blazing speed is great hand quickness and tremendous anticipation for a ball player he said streetwise kid out of the Bronx in New York Dean Smith his best record ever coming into this game 31 and 215 wins in a row they've gone almost eight minutes without a ball going through the net as you pointed out Gary which is highly unusual tentative play [Applause] it's off of North Carolina let me back into the ballgame they have a substitution well for the first time actually Bill Martin will gun in Ewing will go out now what do you think John Thomson will tell Patrick Ewing well I think he's just gonna calm Patrick down he has been a tremendous force in this game so far I mean he didn't even talk to him as he walked by him I think he's happy the way Patrick's playing and his team looks very positive right now let's go on into two-three zone on the out-of-bounds four-point lead to the Hoyas 1210 to go this is for the NCAA championship red brown out to sleep employed Boyd in tournament play 22 points against Oregon State his best at almost those offensive interference by Bill Martin [Applause] has taken the bar to the defense and not by any quick mere coincidence in the game and that is the first field goal they have scored that wasn't awarded to him by goaltending brings it out to brown sleepy Floyd went right through the double-team trapped that time [Applause] Floyd gives him up 14 to 10 leave Jordan out to Dougherty now let's see if worthy gets into the ballgame which really starts good for that tricks is the big man he's also pon the Washington DC area you see Jones's lick six outside so this tell us a pretty good size in their expertise team size is where the inside [Applause] he shoots at ball you see John Thompson has Ewing and Eric's ready to come in again you just want to give them a little ball there's Briggs [Applause] steadying influence [Applause] it's 1612 Georgetown Briggs asked to come out he's a little tired right now he had the great game Saturday as well here's worthy points worthy this year averaging only 15 3 but Billy the stats really don't show how good he is that's interesting John Thompson walking up the court with Freddie brown trying to give the instructions and still staying within his bench area boy he's worked hard on maintaining poise and his club has thus far done back 950 to go first half Floyd is 3 of 4 from the wheel in this game here he is consensus all-american Gastonia against Gastonia on the last two shots and getting the better at jimmy black so far who has been outstanding both against Granger and then getting the better of him sleepy Floyd 7 of 8 from the free-throw line and down the stretch was a big factor in that way tonight he's back on track shooting from outside and again the good defense by Georgetown with the John Thompson the background stand there he is look at him man Thompson wants broad pressure on the ball perkins brings it up [Applause] coming from one side kind of had to field a man there and spun in the other direction there's your time remaining village you realize it's worthy and Floyd going after each other now as far as a point production by Perkins little B Georgetown ball one of the things everybody's been talking about in the dome is the depth perception on the shot we also notice that there is a problem sometimes on the walk [Applause] we saw that in that Louisville Georgetown game in particular [Applause] University he was one of the referees anyway [Applause] in this ball game we played in 11 plus minutes and it's been a physical game Anthony Jones [Applause] kradic who's checked in at Junior events for North Carolina has produced that much this year the starting five is produced even eight percent of their offense coming into this game tonight [Applause] pretty soon you got to ask a young man at 18 are you gonna keep it up there he is Pat Ewing getting it on the way down I think they've all been very good calls and not very difficult calls to make the 18 points have come on goaltend were tied up 18 off there's a double team trapped by North Carolina [Applause] first half Radek will back it out don't were they worthy [Applause] eight points for Georgetown nice back down the door tried by Jordan and I'm with sleepy Floyd showing great defense he's seen urine go around he almost came up with a steel that will go off of Georgetown substitution Ed Sprague's will check back in for the Hoyas going out of the ballgame is going to be Bill Martin the freshman who missed the shot a while ago you know worthy isn't shooting too bad in this game he's six of seven four four four with Pat Ewing getting a piece on and North Carolina has now hit their last six shots in a row from the field [Applause] two on one very good move to pull up short rather than try to take that into the defense that gives o-hoy as a two-point lead 22:18 six points in the game for Eric Smith the co-captain along with its Craig's vision man-to-man Ewing out there on Perkins Perkins is drawing him away from the basket bad again to Perkins Perkins out of Latham New York badly improve nice help that time this year gained about 25 and Braddock almost in trouble with Floyd on him I think the official found that the ball was tipped and there's a bow on our expect only the second foul and we have 652 to go on his first half even though Jimmy Braddock did not do anything on that will show up statistically I thought he handled the ballclub pretty well when he came in there and that's what gay Smith was asking a few minutes to spell Jimmy black bill got to reach his assistant along with Dean spent 21 years he's been in the quest for an NCAA Championship title right now his team down by two worthy this praise playing tough on him worthy loves to isolate you beautiful pass to Jordan he changed hands couldn't get it [Applause] didn't get a piece of that he's altered Jordan shot for the second time tonight you see it right here worthy trying to get the backdoor cut with a little stream Jordan had already screened he had to use the left hand Ewing gets a piece now worthy goes down and gets grabbing the arm substitution crisp crust is checking in rust number 45 Perkins will check out at the 639 mark Blackwell trickery Jimmy black let the ACC an assist this year brings it out to Jordan 18 points in the game on Saturday how about Ewing stepping up the help there all the way from under the basket now we get a little zone trap [Applause] remarkable play 14 points he's 7 of 8 from the field where he is now in the man-to-man situation China guarding rust is guilty of fouling we're gonna see that last play by James Worthy excellent position to rebound here's the block out not quite there worthy grabs at an end just forces it down into the rim he must have unbelievably large hands strong hands to pull that off John Thompson 40 years old a winningest coach in the history of Georgetown four straight NCAA appearances and the steal by Buzz Peterson to challenge him in that basket the counter is going to be charging I think the basket should count down good call so the charging foul but the basket being awarded go back to the scale though there you had Peterson had an opportunity with an easy steal and Fred Brown just took it away from the here's the call worthy is set no question about it ball released great call by the official third team foul now against Georgetown six minutes off to Peterson Peterson picked up by Brown Craig's really playing worthy tied he's just out as close as he can possibly guard him look at the Cheston job here by Eric Smith on Doherty they're right under their chin Peterson Peterson comes up with it [Applause] right now he's gone to his pants with Peterson and breasts in there to give his starter some breathing room [Applause] Richi shot has 16 points in the game sensational defense - by Spriggs against he went straight up chest to chest it's all tied 22 all worthy was 16 of those 22 points Eric Smith on the move [Applause] town bumps it up to a two point lead eight points in the game for Eric spent drive he was intimidated by time [Applause] [Music] mine going ahead right at him and then he had to put that long arching shot up there isn't that amazing a Pat Ewing can get down the court he never seems to be out of position now some substitutions were these going to check out of the ballgame Sam Perkins we're looking at him what I think was seeing Dean Smith doing with his bench right now is the other day Saturday he went with the first five the entire second half there never was a substitution he's getting them in there now nice backdoor assistant Jimmy Black's of West comes in first two points to the ball game now for Jimmy black and other than worthy the other four starters have scored two points each so it's been worthy carrying them offensively 24 Floyd against Jordan as one of the fear that sleepy Floyd hasn't gotten to go through as a very difficult shot [Applause] Eric Smith stayed with Peterson here is Jordan reach-around by Freud partially blocked [Applause] covers there was inside brush gets the ball you ain't comes down he did get a little piece of the Armand but he did get a piece that's a second [Applause] breaking the option 404 to go in this first half and it's all tied up 24 all [Applause] we noticed on Saturday and also tonight that they react to the replays some of the plays that were they made something we're seeing here today will be frost and he hasn't been at the free-throw line very much this year well he really hasn't he been there 20 times made nine only 45 percent shooting June this young fella came to college with quite a reputation but he came already injured and he never was able to fight [Applause] a while ago that he doesn't get the free throat still 24 all and North Carolina has been brilliant from the line is 0 for 3 in this game thus far [Applause] coming in will be worthy rust will check out so James Worthy back in now you can imagine the Dean Smith they'll keep this starting five in there up until halftime and let them take their break a two to one full-court press guitar here for the one-point lead less than four minutes to go in this first half this checked in now let's come on in the zone look for sleepy Floyd trying to get open this is Smith number 22 an excellent defensive player you see the time remaining the lower right hand portion of the screen now what North gonna do now they'll shade away from gene Smith and let him put up the side a one-point lead nice release by Pat Ewing Ewing was six points where she's had five gold tendons at the other end here is worthy I guess Ewing Jordan [Applause] people don't aren't aware of his tremendous leaping ability and from the guard position at 6'5 he's a dangerous rebounder Jordan was an outstanding baseball player in high school five rebounds in this game join has to kick it out this time by Ewing not to occupy that ball lead less than three minutes that Chavez partially blocked Hancock put it up here comes Jimmy black Floyd is back getting up slowly [Applause] there's that time sit again talking to his club [Applause] we have a let's go Michael Jordan as they trapped in the backboard stopping the clock with 222 Brett Brown will come in ed Spriggs will come in Hancock and Jean Smith we'll check out his Dean Smith trying to ask for a walk in violation here you go worthy went up so high because he knew Ewing was coming over maybe a little higher than be comfortable here comes Jordan as I said a very dangerous offensive rebounder goes in changes to the left hand and puts it up that was only the second team foul against North Carolina and just a little over two minutes left in this first he was fouled on the shot and still had the concentration in the follow-through to put it in I want for North Carolina Lloyd with ten points at sixteen pounds there one away from a shooting situation and so Carolina will inbounds it with 204 in his first half Dean Smith says you know I've never won this championship game but there's only been two coaches in history that's been for the final four seven times or more that's John what made him so for that zone defense with Ewing in the middle but they've got it back in there pretty good right now Perkins again showing intimidate [Applause] at six foot three only weighs 170 but he can jump rebound Julian he's fouled good foul by Jordan was an easy play for Ewing sleepy Floyd keeping a lot of pressure on the defense when he gets the ball he not only does the great jump shot but as we pointed out at the top of the show he can penetrate to the baseline as well ad Ewing this year shooting 61% from the free throw line of the regular season man who's learned to control that physical ability a substitution Buzz Peterson comes in Jordan will check out thus far in this game as you look at John Thompson and Eric Smith Ewing has six points four rebounds five Colton's in one block shot he's covered all bases patching a 61% free throw shooter been to the line 164 times this year yes good form we were watching earlier now watching so as you call it the good rotation on the ball [Applause] many times a guy of this size has trouble with his file shooting because his hands are so huge he can never get a nice feel of the ball from a standpoint of his fingertip control viewing does have that control in a beautiful follow pool acts like a 6-foot guard up there that's the first free-throw Georgetown has had the opportunity to shoot this game that shows you the athletic ability of this big guy to stand up on the line like that 30:29 the Hoyas p1 wanted a have to go first half [Applause] worthy catches that ball up in the air and it's all over you can't get it away from it we talked about worthy and Riley McRae being the two best catches of the ball I've seen right away John Thompson's pun said if they're gonna spread it we're going to go back back in there was sprigs and Ewing really making it tough to penetrate inside for the shot bring it back out you see the time there it was a minute to go legal see North come on it go for one now I'm talking about take the last one thing about Georgetown but oh they come out and just kind of chest you out don't they when you pick up the ball there's a reach-in [Applause] the court he gets up and down the court so well 32:29 the lead you see the time now 26 seconds [Applause] here's the man has been doing most of the damage and a foul sleepy Floyd that's been really their bread and butter is right over the middle here sleepy point now there are not many men in the country that can do a Pat Ewing did theirs he came from 80 feet down the court to be in position to be on that fast-break baqi school because he was playing right under the basket defensively he never stops running and at what's making what makes it so tough to keep up with it you know what's interesting about that Ewing may be their fastest man in some way and they say worthy is for North Carolina you don't expect big men like that to cover the distance going out will be black with eight seconds Sam Perkins Oh for two at the free throw line with two points there's a lot of time on this block Georgetown does not have to rush coming down the core these shots go in or if they miss one and one was able to connect on back now Perkins has the same opportunity and he can cut it Perkins Lee this summer worked on a construction job he said he wanted to get tougher stronger and he's done a full-court pressure now by North Carolina trying to occupy as much time bringing the ball up the court [Applause] is not the one in one they could elect sleepy Floyd bring the ball at the court and then filing don't let them get the position to shoot they'll do it again that's only four team fouls so they can do it again now what they'll do is try to go ahead and file as soon as the guy touched it too late that's going to end our first half it's a one [Applause] thirty-two a basketball championship will continue after this word from your local station the better of it what really surprised me I didn't realize North Carolina was that far ahead that's hard to believe but I guess you have to consider the Georgetown that missed that many shot Billy something we should keep in mind at North Carolina spent a great second half ball club during the tournament their shooting during tournament play over 75 percent from the field they haven't had to play against the defense like they're seeing tonight Pat Ewing has really been dominant inside and it was 11 minutes and 59 seconds on the clock before North Carolina ever got a ball to go through that basket I think one thing that many people were worried about concerned about was a foul situation good Ewing stay out of foul trouble there's no foul difficulty at the halftime mark look at it's been Gastonia North Carolina against each other Ted that relationship right there John Tom Thompson and Pat Ewing is amazing in this respect how much John is party belong to venture as an individual and I think that's what we're seeing out here although only a freshman he's playing a very mature ballgame North Carolina will inbounds the ball interestingly enough worthy in those points eight of those shots that he hit in the first half were all within the paint within the lane area to show you the good open shots and he was getting the good percentage shots baseline Jordy [Applause] Barty held his ground inside looking for the pump-fake nobody went for it he was surrounded by both quakes and Ewing Pat Ewing probably in that case we could he'd let Dougherty release before he really went after the ball but Daugherty was able to pick up a two-shot foul Spriggs commits a foul now this is what John Thompson did Saturday he comes out with a different lineup to start the second half both times he started sprigs in the second half we'll play he's doing that tonight [Applause] very interesting lady Dean Smith allows those players that would like to come out this chute before a ballgame in the morning the day of the game to come out only one player came out today that was Matt Gordon he was been all concerned about his shooting he has given Carolina 32 here's the pressure a little double-team recognize very well by Georgetown Brown [Applause] we just took it inside 12 points for the 7-foot freshman that was a great shot both teams are throwing the ball over the press very well miss the first time we've seen somebody put it on the ball on the floor very much before 33 the Hoyas Michel choice [Applause] this year he just stayed after practice and shot the ball until he got it back again showed some concentration kept a sigh right on the rim was not the odd by Ewing coming out here six points for Michael Jordan a minute has gone by in the second half straight man-to-man by North Carolina perkins is guilty of pushing off inside personal foul and Froy doing that first half shot the ball very well misses on that one good defense by Jimmy black staying right with him altering the jump shot a little bit Perkins had his hand on Ewing all the way there and was well called by the officials Boyd in the first half he had 5 of 8 from the field batted out of bounds by North Carolina Georgetown only said it points misses wait a minute might have been did he call a foul let's see a Dean was up he was in arms about it here comes Floyd broken up it's off North Carolina Daugherty was trying to indicate it was awful sleepy Floyd what's so tough to double-team the club that's on the floor right now for Georgetown is they really have three guards out there Eric Smith you come out and play that way Freddy Brown to be the guy can be recipient of passes rather than initiating all the offense Brown is not an outstanding outside shooter they like to get him to penetrate inside and here he is with the ball now indicating the offense good patience now by Georgetown Eric Smith out to sleepy Floyd [Applause] [Applause] that rebound without any trouble but with Ewing it's everything is contested off the board he's over his back and he can pull it off with those long arms and he's got about three to four inches of height the Vantage Springs showing you how hard he works defensively look at that only nine of 43 that's an interesting statistic let's see how it improves in this game 35 34 North Carolina with the lead Eric Smith out to Floyd he had to change his shot preach and by Chile [Applause] Smith to brown Perkins backs him out of there nothing doing in here comes Jimmy black again almost resealing the ball Eric [Applause] starting to take control inside 14 points for Ewing 36 35 Georgetown of the lead Oh is it tough on the boards he backs it out 17:20 remaining black to worthy cause a crowded [Applause] the one who looked like well you could hear the grunting down there under the board's on that last rebounding occasion where Ewing got his hands on the ball three or four times before putting it in it was brown with the foul well Carolina number one that hasn't been decided yet every Carolina player is bending over with hands on knees right now that's usually a sign that kids are very very tired here's where Georgetown's bench may come to help them see the Carolina players bending over with hands on their knees the substitution both freshmen Bill Martin and Anthony Jones come in at the 17 15 mark Dougherty brings it out to Jordan Daugherty was really bent over as he was waiting in bounds at max Perkins now they rotate around Jordan he hit one here earlier and he's going to try another one and he's fouled that basket would have counted and had gone in as freshmen is not not odd at all in this ball game he takes the ball inside and penetrates I think for North Carolina they've got to figure out a way to get some production offensively the Perkins the only head Ford halftime and hadn't been able to get a shot off here at the line will be Jordan from Wilmington North Carolina I was talking about that shooting slump in billion shot ATT extra shots off the practice because he's a year of 1982 Walter Davis had a shooting slump in 77 so they shot 77 shots after practice that got him back on track he has seven points in this game first wall today dissented that tournament in 77 with a broken index figure so he had somewhat of an excuse there well that's the year that many people feel at Dean Smith had the best ball club lagarde was hurt Davis was hurt Ford was hurt after that basket its 37:32 North Carolina with the one-point lead 16:57 ago there's Martin Martin mr. company shots in the first half away and he lost his poise a little bit it's going to be it's going to be off of North Carolina when Billy Martin comes into the ballgame that allows worthy to slough off and help Perkins inside they're going to force Martin to show he can make a shot from outside Jones is one of three two one four to steal by worthy [Applause] charged with 10 points try to get the break going boy new Ewing was in the vicinity changed the shot [Applause] I'm trying to draw the foul but to no avail who made the dish Pat Ewing beautiful backdoor cut the old Blind Pig play one wide lead for North Carolina look at where they get onto the air off the black it's like money in the bank when you throw the ball to that guy in the air he just brings it down and it's all over 16 minutes to go surprised they don't go to worthy now he's got Billy Martin on E marked at 6 7 giving up a couple of inches Perkins [Applause] Thompson is unhappy sprigs will come back in for Georgetown here we see the over the head but you can hear the big guy coming to hockey and Jimmy black tries to get it up on the short hop it's not there and here comes Jordan again we said a very dangerous offensive rebounder what an awful feeling that's got to be Billy to know that urine is coming down here back he is one of the best runners for a big man I have ever seen in basketball and I think that's one of the assets he has a lot of people don't was the case in that rebound Sam Perkins 41:30 [Applause] they don't play game Floyd Floyd cut off at the base line out two sprigs Eric Smith [Applause] upworthy the quickness of James Worthy now Fred Brown will come in and Jones to come out Jones and Martin who came in to get the starters breathers now come back out of the game we've played over five minutes in the second half Carolina the three-point lead and they're looking from high above the Superdome 14 minutes 57 seconds left in this game North Carolina has a three point lead Gary Vander Laan with Billy Packer as Dean Smith trying for the first time the win the NCAA title how many team find out they used any well I think what we're gonna see Gary is these been going to the bench for the rest may use the timeout for the legitimate press for his team because he'd like to keep this first five in there the rest of the way Gorton trip down the floor as you mentioned Georgetown cannot afford to drop too far behind and get North Carolina in that delay games [Applause] 14 points for sleepy boy here comes the pressure 40 Jordan in this game Billy is the leading rebounder was 7 and he had at least two of those that he's put back up for scores on the offensive end there's worthy pushed off great play by Springs Briggs trying to help the official head time claiming it was off of worthy but it was not Springs was pushed by worthy still was quick enough in watching seaworthy push him he got away with a foul and Springs was still quick enough to get over there we've had eight lead changes there's a steal [Applause] that was a tantalizing shot that finally dropped through 16 points for Ewing and now we have our night lead change of the game one-point lead for the Hoyas before I play both ends of the court looking sprigs out there unworthy into Perkins who's gonna challenge [Applause] that's what I talked about early in the game that Perkins could occupy Ewing if they got him the ball he makes him play honest 20 points now for worthy playing outstanding basketball 43 42 North Carolina [Applause] not good defense that time by North Carolina you want to go after that ball if he puts it down that close for seesaw back and forth 1310 left in the game Ewing coming out on poker look at him Billy stay with me [Applause] [Music] they need a timeout right now their guys are getting very tired large town with the lead that can add to it you ain't gonna do [Applause] three-point play possibility coming up the players getting tired Abby Smith putting in Peterson you inside looking for that ball given a good target keeping his hands up Perkins goes with him and when he flicks that wrist down he comes down with a foul Ewing with a chance for the three-pointer great camera work you can just see the rotation on the ball Ewing this year averaged only 12 and a half points a game but he has 18 tonight to go with 7 rebounds gets that ball the little massage but a basketball player and he's just a freshman John Thompson is brought he knows free throws he has the ball tip five defensive player that had hit under the back boy [Applause] 47-43 here's Peterson the man you mentioned that came in for shortness [Applause] one step they missed in that one pencil Blake here's Perkins [Applause] shooting outside cuts it to two big break for North Carolina sleepy Floyd really angry with himself for missing out Floyd is really showing why he was a consensus all-american as is worthy they're living up to all a billing that they've had all year long it's a foul on black black trying to stay with Boyd somehow look at him discuss the situation there's a respect for each other little temper going right there Jimmy black as we said had a great game against Granger there he pushed him on Oh up boy it's not going to be intimidated you can count on that first time coming back with a little elbow of his own third team foul on North Carolina black habited wide a little closer the defensive pressure Floyd is open [Applause] not double-team the ball and leave sleepy Floyd alone back to a four point lead now for Georgetown 1155 to go buzz Peterson this is it fluoride essere he saves it up it comes to Fred brown the Momentum's changing mishandled [Applause] sleepy boy seen this play before they see it on the big screen over again and they're just enjoying it too Gastonia North Carolina meaning there the same church they did not go to the same high school they met one year in the state championship finals the scoreboard comes into focus 11:41 left Georgetown with a 4947 lead worthy with that magnificent play a while ago asset attorney career-high for himself of 22 points and when he winds it up I don't think there's any air left to the ballpark you know it's interesting we made the comparison and talked about the two kids from Gastonia but sleepy Floyd was not a highly recruited player as a senior in high school whereas James Worthy was wanted by everybody in the country as early as his sophomore year in college and yet they both turned out to be all-americans kind of an interesting story chance for this three-point play for worthy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] jerilyn has been doing a lot of TT me has been killing them is that sleepy Floyd's not handling the boss so he's always away from the double-team to be in a shooting position and he really moves off the ball doesn't he Eric Smith it's Briggs we'll bring it back out to sleepy Floyd he wants to shoot that's one of the few years in hit for now [Applause] the Jordans join walk to the ball that blame yes he did Championship is great in transition play they can go from offense to defense well Eric Smith back there waiting on the pass and that's why Jordan took his eye off it ten turnovers now against North Carolina 11 12 left in the game Doherty coming out nearest bricks bricks handles the ball a mousou man at six foot nine they have great confidence in that ability perkins playing sprigs worthy now over on Ewing reach-in Jimmy black trying to stay will sleepy Floyd in he's foul Jordan coming across he was creating things inside Floyd when he has the ball penetrates and when he doesn't have the ball the offsets beautifully to get the open jumpers second foul on Michael Jordan fourth there it is Ewing and Floyd the one-two punch worthy been leading the way for North Carolina again Jordan with those 10 points is the leading rebounder 49 48 Ohio's with the advantage they've got the LOB to Ewing worthy is really working him hard but doing so much bigger open his Eric Smith [Applause] for Eric Smith 51 48 [Applause] - Jordan Springs out on him good coverage defensive that he still hit it [Applause] amazing what the freshmen can do few years ago freshmen weren't eligible for varsity play and definitely come out there and they're the stars of the game North Carolina goes back in their 2-1 to matchup zone Jordan the fourth freshman in Dean Smith's tenure North Carolina to start the first game on you can see why North Carolina players are standing still defensively there's no pressure on the ball they're very very tired and they're sleepy Floyd going right through the zone 9:40 five left in the game Eric Smith on the move because the crowd and he [Applause] I don't think that hairstyle is going to be popular very soon it seems worthy going out the North Carolina players losing some resiliency in their leg Georgetown much pressure by going to that deep bench were they committed that in vile that is his first personal Smith to the line you know what's good about this game Billy thus far no foul difficulty both teams able to really go after each other officials doing a good job 67% free-throw shooter he has 13 points John Thompson the ever-present owl John Thompson was a high school coach had a player by the name of Donald Washington [Applause] passed away and he was a player that Dean Smith recruited and that's how they started their friendship and of course in 76 within 15 seconds he just made it and he almost stepped out of Jimmy black to be able had the presence get that ball over the hat half-court line because it was very close to 10 seconds and that is going to be against Brown his fourth personal worthy will come back in being Smith trying to save those timeouts gene Smith will come in and replace him we've got to get Brown out of there with the four personals never in all that worthy in Hancock we're kind of pushing trying to jockey for position right where he was trying to take a position on the court Hancock came up and tried to prevent him hike Nichols talking to it and there say fellas let's just take it easy the team Smith is in there he is he's a defensive stand out they get him in there to kind of pick up the tempo defensively replacing Brown at the 9:30 mark of this game for Georgetown he in their freshly he got Hancock very fresh and he had Jean Smith fresh with the going out here clear out in the backcourt playing defense there's your time left Smith now picking up Jimmy black and Smith can't play the defense and he picked up the foul sniffing Freddie Brown picking up to cheap fouls ties things up in the team foul situation is that the six that's the six Billy one and one one more and they'll be shooting free throws Carolina has five team fouls they are very good at not getting into that one in one situation in Nichols and we're not now they're in the bonus with 911 to go and three fouls in a matter of seconds and all of them way away from the basket very cheap touches by the guys he came off the bench to put a little defensive pressure on but Hancock picked up that fall with a little altercation that took play a while ago worthy with 23 points from the free-throw line but the rebound by Jordan garden just has been outstanding on the boards [Applause] Hoyas 850 left in this game - shake Jimmy black loose on a man jumping between Perkins and Ewing [Applause] [Music] [Applause] before the time [Applause] that's exactly what they did is arguing it's a big ball that John's got to be careful here he's got to be careful be careful here lose possession of the ball so no foul on door D instead Georgetown gets the timeout with 827 to play [Applause] Carolina took the lead a moment ago and we're going to show you some great passing Rosco past 40 coming to meet the ball one play ahead of himself he actually knew he was going to pass that ball before he made the catch and there's worthy and there was no chance for Ewing he got there late now look at the bushing and shopping as we come back to the live action there Jimmy's trying to get ready defensively for this inbounds play by Georgetown with a one-point lead now both teams want to make sure they've got the matchup I thought North Carolina probably shown a lot more zone now but they're still out there man-to-man Jordan playing tough on Fred brown brown backhand playing with four personal fouls the one points for your 5554 crowd with the steel minutes to go on the game [Applause] just teasing him with that ball [Applause] twenty-one black and floyd against each other into worthy foul on sprigs [Applause] that was a starting center a year ago you've got to give him a lot of credit could you imagine what it feels like going into your senior year as the incumbent starting center knowing that a guy like Ewing is recruited and you're going to have to take a lesson role and instead of putting your head down staying with the team given great leadership and accepting that role in making Ewing an even better player and he has taken that responsibility and practice to pushing [Applause] three it's still Georgetown will the Amman 5554 seven minutes forty seconds to go on this championship game displayed specs is found worthy that's the second on James Worthy the sixteen bow one more and they'll be shooting the bonus what's so interesting here you have to really well coach clubs they're sticking with their offense when you figure things get a little frayed clubs that are well taught as these two teams are go right back to the basic fundamentals Buzz Peterson checking in last year North Carolina's loss to Indiana sixty three to fifty their average marginal loss have been about twelve points but this one has been a one-point game back and forth sprigs [Applause] spragues uh 68% free-throw shooter only went to the line 44 times this year Riggs can give them a two-point advantage 56 54 the pressure by the Hoyas I've been taking a lot of time getting this ball up they've got a hurry and they find Peterson as Peterson eyes pistol worthy the top of Georgetown that was Smith again coming from behind just no let-up defensive until North Carolina land bounds at the 7:25 mark both these teams of 130 games this year best records Dean Smith's tenure in the best record in the history of Georgetown last time they're in the finals 1943 they [Applause] likes to keep that pressure room with the man and man not a good pass not a good pass spread saved it in boy the agility of hairless something to say [Applause] Jimmy black that's ten turnovers against your town as Peterson we'll check out Jordans 23 checks back into the game there's Denny Crum he had such a great performance out of his team here on Saturday you mentioned the intensity of that game 1880 he won it all here is the chance now on this trip down the floor to tie this ballgame up 644 left in it one two check out the geek that's all that's his third another one and obviously it would change the complexion offensively what John Thompson wants to do he's going to talk to him and it taught well you don't get to the final four if you're not worthy and that goes for all the teams that have been here outstanding comeback performance by Houston here Saturday also you're down 14 to nothing you think he is throwing the talents but they've battled back [Applause] 3 of 5 from the line had a chance to tie it up sometimes you get to the championship game and it doesn't work out the way you think it would but this is something isn't this is a great one [Applause] by North Carolina teams but with these three Smith Brown and sleepy they handle that press very well this game has been tied eight times red Brown trying to work into say buy yarn with the good hands see they're gonna give Fred brown the shot therefore it's tough for him to feed Ewing because Jordan is going to drop back in there for the outside shooting ability there's [Applause] I can see why D Smith says were these the fastest player they've got well he he couldn't remember this Gary he's dribbling the ball those guys are running without the ball and he's beating them down the court I mean it's a little different here in a footrace and you're running without the ball the other guy's got to keep up with the ball he's six nine and way 20 27 points a career-high for James Worthy and he's trying to add to that at the 604 mark [Applause] how can you pick a guy that's only averaging 15 points a game but he just fits in where they need him here's an example 28 tonight the basketball is a team game he's short again [Applause] both and rebounding tonight and he got in again on another offensive rebound 5756 four corners this is a half of the four corners by 41 to go he's got to be careful he has three files plain Perkins black almost lost it [Applause] Jhansi called a great time out here because Patrick Ewing is so aggressive he tries to chase against his four corners and he's going to pick up chief files foul difficulty you think North Carolina will go they just continue what they're doing I think they're gonna spread it in what they call their 4c offense and you gotta go back 1977 I got the lead on Marquette and they tried to go ahead and put it up in the four corners Marquette stayed back in like a passive zone and let the clocks go down a little bit and by doing that with North Dakota one day they executed Marquette finally got control of the game but we really have a coaching clinic going on right now players for the four corners Dean Smith outlining exactly what they want to do execution-wise making sure nobody tries to make the spectacular play you saw that side a while ago to Albuquerque that's where the NCAA Final Four is going to be next year look at this old newspaper write-up about the last time Georgetown was in the Final Four and one of the things that was funny on that's just a big size guard down Dean Smith now in a pretty good situation a one-point lead four fouls on back Ewing and the way they can set on the ball he started to maybe have that momentum switch just a little bit in his favor black at the line two points he has six assists in this game you might recall Matt Villanova game in the East region finally at Genesis he's second only to Phil Ford all-time North Carolina system list he had over 500 assists in his career and now Porton free throws coming off 73% free-throw shooter one-on-one first time I've seen Pat Ewing look up at the clock he normally concentrates totally on a game three-point advantage now still five and a half minutes to go here's the double team by black they're by Brown Pepe's boys off to Floyd Eric Smith Jordan dropping back you said that earlier they let him shoot the ball great man a man into Ewing [Applause] that's three on James Worthy that was a big play by Freddy Brown who hasn't been shooting that much we'll see the play inside you he comes up a little short on this jumper nice technique good follow-through there's Brown a big fella an excellent call by the officials and in addition to a super championship game we'd have to say this one the best officiated games of this caliber I've seen in a long time now they're shooting free-throws 17 fouls two points for Brown who's not a very good free-throw shooter during the regular year he shot 63% [Applause] he's a gutty ball player and now he can cut it to one point we gave him the MVP award 59 58 Georgetown is eight of nine from the free-throw line we haven't been there they have taken advantage of it I'm here within your line is 13 and 18 there comes the spread Perkins in Ewing the Guardi doing and Perkins still pushing around remember now Ewing playing with four personals minutes 45 seconds left in the game one-point lead for Carolina North Carolina looking for a backdoor layup here [Applause] was in 1957 [Applause] this offense right now the guy that seems to be a little shaky is Michael Jordan because he's catching the ball putting it on the ground and losing his dribble then picking it up and everybody's overplay doing this year is found out the five games only one time in tournament play that was against Oregon State they have Ewing matched up on worthy now see exploit gonna tries to take advantage of it minutes ten seconds to go as a trademark for so long tension mounting as we approached and exactly four minutes now left in the game [Applause] started at the five can you see the time remaining another thing this does to North Carolina gives him a chance to rest a little bit as they were getting very tired any blacks eyes the back floor cuts not there carolina's ball team smith will come and that gives john thompson an opportunity to get an outstanding defensive player in brown will come out of the ball game brown still let may have a little trouble that by that leg that's wrapped heavily so now Smith is in 335 left both teams into one and one both coaches have conserved their timeouts very well remember this the next hail ball would go to Georgetown [Applause] and he has 14 points ten of them in the second half of play 6158 that was just amazing of hand left hand shot gotcha straight now on sleepy Floyd and can't take it off the lot of time three minutes now left in the game down by three nine Thompson looking to go ahead and maybe get a timeout he's trying to tell his club what to do without the timeout Carolina in the matchup zone Georgetown has only one timeout left bill invited him to use it he's trying to instruct his club without at Floyds gonna get ready for a jumper to Jean Smith they don't want him shooting he's not that good a shooter from outside you're he's gonna talk [Applause] to go 23 points for tattooing 230 Ewing with 23 his career-high not it comes to black [Applause] what are they picked up by sprigs posted on the time 215 Georgetown can get themself a little tired right here because they're doing all the work right now Daugherty both teams in the bonus files would send them to the line the hell ball would go to Georgetown [Applause] two minutes to go 1:56 [Applause] dangerous past that lazy pass going across courts they're showing a catapult you saw gene Smith tried to sneak in from behind one minute 40 now it's on your screen where is jari - made that remarkable drive a while ago he has five rebounds to go with his 14 points tonight [Applause] Kapow you see years it's for on Eric Smith some reach he's quite an athlete start talking about basketball players that would have some potential in the defensive backfield in football he's one of them he's shaking it off John Thompson looked him over to see if he wanted to stay in the ball game and he seems to be alright see John Thompson talking to his club now he does not want to use that timeout Dean Smith has quite a few left now in this ball game Daugherty is hit two of two from the line with four points the only guy that hasn't shot perfectly from the line in the starting five is worthy he's two of five this is in the second half I'm talking about and at the line Matt Doherty he hit some big very close from in tournament play in the East region now it's a big one in line [Applause] Georgetown can take the lead that's ten rebounds Eric Smith Hancock was wide open under the basket nobody saw on because sleepy Floyd's going to go for the jumper is he ever faked beautifully once twice [Applause] 52 seconds we suspected it's gone Georgetown's gonna go they are not going to come out and chase in North Carolina now cannot go to the four corners losing shot and Dean Smith as Sam gets timeout [Applause] remarkable suspension in midair by sleepy Floyd you see the time remaining 32 seconds to win the championship Georgetown adds the lead and I just cannot believe this play the sleepy boy be you knew he was gonna take it he's a money player a double fake had a guy in front a guy behind and Georgetown getting some nice bounces now Ewing's did the same thing right before that what it does area changes the offensive philosophy completely for North Carolina they with the lead to force Georgetown to be man now George spam pack in his own most coaches though with a timeout go ahead and change their defense just to throw the other team off stride let's see if Georgetown now comes out man-to-man Georgetown still has one timeout left North Carolina has four thirty two seconds to go a one-point lead for Georgetown they stay in the one [Applause] we can't with a shot blocker like Ewing take so much time [Applause] the time [Applause] look they're sleepy Floyd look [Applause] James Worthy [Applause] try to time out to settle things down he is that's black three straight ACC championship [Applause] it's like he looked back [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that was a smart foul right there we've got two seconds to go look at this of NCAA basketball just has to kick that ball up there if he hits the rim he's in good shape even if he misses the shot cuz Georgetown in bad shape foul lines hey Eric timeout Eric Smith has fouled out of the ballgame and after a loss that he did as he tried to come back and double up and come up with a ball Dean Smith looked at James Worthy and said make these what else Smith plays a game of fourteen points three rebounds that worthy is the man that I guess should be resting on his shoulders he had a 28 points tonight and he's hit only two of five from the free thing it's a very very [Applause] this Georgetown calling though I can't believe John Thompson with a call that I believe Dean Smith did just to reorganize the host into it we called his fifth very surprising unless John wants to just give him a talk about and so even they get the rebound on this two seconds it's nothing left you can do that's right [Music] jump ball situation if the defense the defense in disregard the arrow which I think we won't see that at all and what we may also see this Vincent talk if the game goes into overtime [Music] they said about Dean Smith he couldn't win the big one he's two seconds away from winning the big time he's been to the final four the four time and the championship game and let's watch or just watch and see what develops [Applause] the two-shot intentional evidently was it a two-shot intentional we never did get that signal there's where they could he used to time [Applause] you

Dean Smith not winning his first title until 1982 is crazy to think about given the amount of success he had in the first 20 years of coaching at UNC.

[u/Kbdiggity]

And a freshman from Wilmington became a household name.

[u/EyePlay]

One of my favorite photos comes from this game. Coach Smith leaning against a wall with a cigarette in hand. James Worthy, sitting, hunched over/praying(?). A net around his neck. Jimmy Black, beside Worthy, in deep thought. It kind of looks like someone just died. Pure exhaustion on so many different levels.

What it actually captured is the moment after they won the championship.

I always look at it and think that's what it takes to get to the top.

[u/impulsekash]

Everyone is talking about Duke as a team of destiny but UNC winning it also a compelling story especially if you include this.

[u/Smellmyhand]

Mike Jordan became Michael Jordan

[u/KING_CH1M4IRA]

No 3-point line, no ever-present score/stat graphic, the early full court pressure. For some reason, I keep looking for a defensive three second violation.

In many ways, which I don't fully understand and can't elaborate, a very different game than how it is played today.

[u/AL3XD]

Watching this (full game, not just highlights) for the first time... wow. The game was so boring back then

[u/SantosPhillipCarlo]

There are two national championship games where it seriously jumps out to me looking back on how much NBA-caliber talent was playing – Duke-Arizona in 2001 with Shane Battier, Richard Jefferson, Jay Williams, Gilbert Arenas, Carlos Boozer and Mike Dunleavy Jr. is the other one, but this one with MJ, Patrick Ewing, James Worthy, Sleepy Floyd and Sam Perkins always takes the cake.

[u/drowse]

I know this is about the 1982 game, but this now reminds me a lot of the 2020 year now. CBS re-played this game and the Virginia-Texas Tech game on what would have been the first weekend of the tournament in 2020. Depressing to think about now.
