| Transcript | during the decade. Look at the top 15 season rebound totals. Not one from the 1980s. Our mega-stars were made by the way they fit into the team, by the titles he collected, perhaps by being on television so much. They were not made by sheer statistics. You want upsets? It had upsets. First, there was North Carolina State stunning Houston, 54-52, in the 1983 title game in Albuquerque, with Lorenzo Charles' dunk at the buzzer, and Jim Valvano's immortal postgame declaration: "We're going to have a baby — my wife doesn't know this yet — and we're going to name him Al. B. Querque." Mourned Houston coach Guy Lewis, "It was fast versus slow. And slow won." What could match that? Two years later in Lexington, Villanova did. The eighth- seeded Wildcats missed one shot the entire second half and shot 78.6 percent for the game to stun a Georgetown team many thought nearly unbeatable, 66-64. "I'm not sure I'll be able to understand this five years from now," Villanova guard Harold Jensen said that night. "No one in America knows how hard we worked for this," teammate Gary McLain added. In 1988, a Kansas team that lost 11 games Georgetown's John Thompson made Hoya basketball a force in the 1980s. during the season was the only one lef standing at the end of the championship driving past Oklahoma, 83-79, by the pla\ of Manning and the coaching force o Brown, whose last words to his team before the game were, "Don't be afraid to win."

Four times that decade, the nationa champion had nine or more season defeat — Indiana in 1981, N.C. State, Villanov; and Kansas. And much of the nation watched mesmer ized in last year's championship as bottom seed Princeton pushed mighty Georgetown to the brink before losing, 50-49. In the springtime of the 1980s, no one was safe. You want great moments? It had grea: moments. There was Indiana's Keith Smart burying a baseline jumper in the final seconds to break Syracuse's heart in the 1987 titl; game. There was a freshman named Jordan calmly canning a 16-footer in 1982 to pu: North Carolina over Georgetown, 63-62 followed by the Hoyas' Fred Brown mistak (conitnued on page 721 Dominant Teams Ruled The Eighties Of the 167 NCAA Division I schools which participated in the basketball championship during the 1980s, only 19 universities (11.4 percent) captured 10-or-more tournament victories during the past decade.
