Member of the 1983 Sweet 16 team, right?

Yep. Came out of nowhere at the end of the season. Played unreal against Illinois and UCLA.

Two Utes reveals his ancientness. That was the team that upset UCLA in the Round of 32 and lost in the Sweet 16 to Jim Valvano's NC State, the eventual champions.

I remember a little about the 1983 team.

First, that was the final year without a conference tournament. So the regular season champ got the outright bid, and Utah forced a three-way tie with UTEP and BYU for first by winning in triple overtime at the Marriott Center in what might have been the greatest regular season game ever in the state of Utah.

Another interesting sidenote about that '83 team. It played in a tournament in Japan, losing to Houston's Phi Slamma Jamma team and Ralph Sampson's No. 1 Virginia team. All Virginia did after beating Utah like a drum was to fly to Hawaii for another tournament, where it lost to Chaminade in what is universally accepted as the greatest upset of all-time in college basketball

I think that was in the day there were only 32 teams in the tournament. If so, the win over Illinois would have been the round of 32 with the UCLA game being the Sweet 16.

Those games were so much fun. Manny Hendrix hitting the running bank shot just before the buzzer to give the Utes the lead; Angelo Robinson shutting down his high school teammate Rod Foster of UCLA; Peter Williams with the breakaway dunk that was the dagger in the heart of the Bruins; dang, that was fun.

That year the field was 48. It was that size starting in 1977 or 1978. First year of 64 was 1985, I believe.

And yes, my brain is a bottomless well of utterly useless facts and trivia

We beat Illinois, then UCLA, then lost to NC State. We were Cinderella that year.

Peter Williams was awesome. This was one of my favorite Utah teams of all time. Manny Pace and Peter Williams.

Okay, thanks for the correction. I should have trusted LA Ute to know what he was saying.

Or at least until N.C. State stole the crown from us. The Wolfpack had to win the ACC Tournament just to get into the field. It was no regular season powerhouse.
