Now it’s time for Houston, in Houston…
NC State ("cinderella team" of the '83 Tournament) played Houston Cougars in the Championship game .. & WON!!
I was a PhD student (U of Illinois ELectrical Engineering/Signal Processing/Computer Vision), & gave a paper at the
'83 ACM (Assn of Computing Machinery) SIGGRAPH/SIGART Special conferenece on Motion, Graphics, & Control
http://caltechscience.dreamhosters.com/turk/toronto83.htmlI ALMOST asked for an evening event to be "shifted in time", to allow viewing of the CHampionship game.. I NEVER saw it LIVE..
NC State Jim Valvano gave a GREAT interview after the game:
"We've been working on the principle ALL YEAR -- If you put yourself in a position to Win, YOU HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING"
"None of our shots were going in [ 1st half ]. We put them on the foul-line at the end of the game. You have to do GOOD THINGS [ make your free throws ], in order to beat us"
-- CBS interview with Brent Musberger
see end of video for interview -- NC State STOLE the (championshp) WIN, over a HEAVILY FAVORED Houston team:
Phi Slamma Jamma
featuring Clyde "The Glide" Drexler & Akeem "The Dream" Olajuwon
Haven't watched Illini this season (until today's game), but Brad Underwood needs to figure out a PLAN:
"Plan your WOrk [ watch videotape of Houston, figure out their WEAKNESSES & ATTACK IT ], WORK YOUR PLAN"
I'm hearing Brad Underwood STILL has this glaring weakness:
FAILURE to make adjustments at half-time
^^^ Is this REALLY TRUE??
