1986 NCAA Championship Game - Louisville vs Duke - Full Game

Publicado 2013-07-17
1985-1986 season.
The 2nd seeded Cardinals go against the top seeded Blue Devils for all the marbles.
This is the game that officially thrust Pervis Ellison into "legend" status as the freshman scores 25 pts and grabs 11 rebounds to lead the Cards to their second National Championship. Birth statistics would indicate a 78% upswing in the frequency of newborn males in the Louisville area being named "Pervis" during the twelve month period following this game. Ok not really, but there should have been.
Final score:
Cards 72
Blue Devils 69
Marv Albert and Billy Packer bring us the action.

I remember Jeff Hall. My mum worked at UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE in the 1980's! We were on edge this night. 🔥 Hot, Intince Action!!! Don't forget about Milt Wagner! They Duke University guys look their going to cry. I definitely understand that!

Thanks for posting. I was in basic trainng and missed the entire tournament. The only one i missed since 1978.

This U of L team had mad chemistry. 2 sharp shooters and excellent forwards. Billy Thompson had matured into one of the better all around players in Basketball.

This was the beginning of Duke basketball’s excellence under K. They would go on to make 6 of the next 7 FFs from 1988-1994, including 2 titles. By then Duke was a household name and love or hate um, most know the rest. Fun trivia: In 1985, the year prior to this tournament, Duke had a highly seeded team upset by Boston College in the 2nd round. They were coached by Gary Williams, who would go onto be a thorn in his side at Maryland. K got the better of it in the long run but quite the history between long tenured coaches. After that ‘85 upset Duke had really become Duke.

If you look closely at the very end, after Jeff Hall steals the final inbounds pass, inexplicably drives to basket and gets partially clotheslined by Danny Ferry, Hall chucks the ball at Ferry's legs. LMAO

I was there ! Best time ever!

At 4th Grade this was the first March Madness that captured my imagination. No one talks about this game as a huge upset in NCAA history. Believe this was the 1st Personalized Basketball designed for the Final Four, the First Championship Game with 45 second shot clock and the last college basketball game without the 3 point line. Thank you for posting this.

I had a brutal childhood ( like a lot of kids did ) but the 80s louisville teams were the most important things to me by far.

Thanks for your uploading! I'm looking for this game!

Outstanding quality! Thanks for posting!
-
Please bring back the classic Louisville jerseys!
-
A lot of great future coaches, announcers, and gms on that Duke team. Amaker, Bilas, Snyder, Ferry, and Dawkins.
-
Nobody is messing with duke and that's my good word 💯
-
So weird it being 86 and NCAA not having the line.
-
When I see this and then watch our current team lose to Furman at home, it makes me wonder if we are ever going to get back to the top of the mountain.
-
This was pre- "hated" Duke... talented, but much more of a blue collar reputation with the likes of Henderson, Bilas, & Alarie. Dawkins& Amaker one of the best backcourt duos ever.
-
Goo cards!

Once Coach Crum made it Jeff hall's mission to shut down Dawkins it was game over
