1977 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament Highlights "The Road To The Championship" 

That was a tournament of 32 teams... Every team was either conference champions or ranked in the top 20

I am not an advocate for taking out the shot clock (although I wish it had stayed at :35, which allowed for a variety of styles), but it was sometimes interesting watching how teams probed the other's defenses. But there were so many things I loved about eras such as this when players stayed 4 years. As a Midwest kid, I used to get to know entire lineups for the Big Ten schools. Now you have the "one & done" guys or the ones onto their 3rd school.

Tark's forgotten Final Four run.

2:33 Bill Fleming says, “Vegas literally exploded…” People who say literally when they mean figuratively make me want to barf - figuratively.

McGuire would have a successful post coaching career as an analyst for NCAA on NBC just a couple years later.

Think about it. In 1977, there was no 3 point shot or shot clock in college basketball. Also, the NCAA just recently reinstated the dunk.

Just think if there was a 3 point line and a shot clock back in that era!
