In 1983, me wifey and I attended the last regular season game in Reynolds Coliseum, which they lost to Maryland. Then we and a group of family and friends watched every single game on TV, culminating with the National Championship game against Phi Slamma Jamma. Houston, with Olajuwan (only one dunk) and Clyde Drexler (1 of 5 FGs, 4 points), lost despite being heavy favorites.
It's funny to listen to the announcers trying hard not to recycle the quips and nick names from '83. It's great to see the heavy favorites fall!
Where PR is, there used to be a restaurant that served alcohol, even at breakfast.
I love Reynolds. One of the best basketball venues, ever.
Houston in 83 was absolutely loaded with talent. I think 4 of the starting five went on to be NBA all-stars.
