Our first CBS game ever?

Postby LA_Mustang » Fri Feb 27, 2015 12:14 am

Sunday - 1pm. Keep building our national brand. We are the best team in our conference. Let's finish that way in front of our biggest tv audience ever.

Yeah I'm pretty pumped about being on non cable national tv. Would be great to earn a home telecast on CBS next year. Beat UCONN!

Not the first time ever. In addition to tournament games, we were the game of the week at least a couple of times in the 80s. I specifically remember a Saturday afternoon game at Moody against NC State. The crowd reactions were choreographed for the cut in for the national telecast.

Wasn't the game at UCONN last year on a Sunday on CBS?

Seems like our game versus Wake Forest several years back might have been on National TV. Q versus Josh Howard.

We beat Louisville at Moody in 1985 in front of 9,007 - it was on National TV and the place was nuts.

FYI- trying to find the year we played Louisville I found this youth of our game against Kentucky to end Kentucky's 23 game home win streak at Rupp Areana. We were #8 at the time and spoiler alert, Butch Moore hits a jumper with 3 seconds left to win the game.

We had quite a few on CBS in the 80s.

The North Carolina and Kentucky games for sure.

Also, all of our 80s/90s NCAA tournament games were on CBS. :)

I was there as a student and it is my favorite Moody memory. As great as the fans have been since Moody reopened, nothing matches how loud it was for that game.
