Wow, I forgot how cheesy ESPN was back in 1984. Virtually no highlights and just scores. Its amazing anyone watched back then. But then again, having any sports on 24 hours a day was quite the novelty.

They were the sports internet when there was no internet.

4:20 mark of the video, kind of funny. We were playing Chaminade?

They are the Host school in that Tournament and have a basketball rich history. If you recall they beat then number 1 or 2# ranked Ralph Sampson led Virginia squad back in the 80's.

..our guys liked to blow a couple of numbers before each games back in those days, or so they say...

Chaminade proceeded to make the finals of the tournament where they lost to Providence by 2. That Silverswords team was GOOD.

Berman's most impressive revelation there is his reference to SMU's JOE Koncak.
