GarysWorld 'Appalachia' - Villanova beats Georgetown in 1985 NCAA - Rupp Arena

noreply@blogger.com (Gary Holbrook) — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:29:00 +0000

My dad, Bert Holbrook attended this game at Rupp Arena in Lexington Ky. He actually was shown sitting in the stands on tv which i saw at home. I was so proud that day. I got to say also that was one of the greatest games i ever watched. Gary Holbrook

One of the greatest upsets in college basketball history, the Villanova Wildcats beat the Georgetown Hoyas, 66-64, to win the NCAA Men’s Division I tournament. The victory was Villanova’s first-ever national championship.Over 23,000 college basketball fans gathered at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, for the match-up between the Hoyas, who took home the NCAA championship in 1984, and the Wildcats, who finished the ’85 regular season tied for third place in the Big East conference. On their way to meeting the Hoyas, who were coached by John Thompson, the underdog Wildcats, coached by Rollie Massimino, beat No. 2-ranked Michigan, No. 5-ranked Memphis State and No. 7-ranked North Carolina in tournament play. During the championship game on April 1, the Wildcats shot 79 percent from the field and nailed 22 of 28 shots, plus 22 of 27 free throws. Wildcats forward Dwayne McCain, the leading scorer, had 17 points and 3 assists. The Wildcats’ 6’ 9 ½” center Ed Pinckney outscored 7’ Hoyas’ center Patrick Ewing, 16 points to 14 and six rebounds to five and was named MVP of the Final Four. 1985 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament - Wikipedia
