Richie Adams was so athletic. So smooth. Sad story about a troubled man. As a 12 year old I lived UNLV basketball. This game about killed me. Stressed me out.
I wonder if anyone will see this comment. Anyway, I remember a USU - UNLV game in the Spectrum in the winter of 1982/1983 that went into three overtimes and ended 148-146. At least that is how I remember it. We moved to Cache Valley in August 1982. It was that winter I believe, that I attended this game with my father. As for the 1985 game, I was out of the country the entire calendar year in 1985, so it could not have been that one that I remember. But I was there and saw it personally. I've searched the internet but have not been able to find individual game data from that far back. I do see the '83/84 season, but the game that particular year is not the one I remember.
This is the game you are referencing; it goes to three overtime periods and was the highest scoring college basketball game in history, at the time. The 1982 and 1983 games were nowhere near this high scoring.
