A Look Back at 1985 - The Villanova Wildcats upset the heavily-favored Georgetown Hoyas to win the NCAA basketball title. What was the key to their victory?
The correct answer is 'They made 79% of their field goal attempts'
The defending champion Hoyas were considered to be even better in 1985 than they'd been the year before. They had only two regular-season losses, both narrow ones, to Big East opponents Syracuse and St. John's. When Georgetown defeated both of those teams to win the Big East tournament, then beat St. John's again in the semifinals, they looked like they could sleepwalk to another title. But Villanova shot 78.5% for the game, including nine of ten in the second half, and won the game 64-62. Georgetown itself shot 29 of 53 for the game (54.7%), but there was nothing they could do to stop a team that just couldn't miss that night.
