The Greatest College Basketball Game Ever Played. You can't overstate the importance and impact of this epic win. First, most people probably don't know that Notre Dame was the last team to beat UCLA back in 1971 before they started the 88 game streak. Second, ND and UCLA were by 1974 arch rivals. ND played UCLA home and away every year under Digger, as he knew that the best way to gain recruiting attention and establish a great program was to play the best teams, so as an Independent they had a brutal schedule. Third, college basketball back then had no national TV contract. There was no ESPN and Dickie V, there was no weekly national Game of the Week, but for a few select games. Most of college bball was regional TV broadcasts like this one. This monumental upset got so much attention and was so epic because of the 88 game streak being broken, it led DIRECTLY to NBC deciding to do a weekly Game of the Week on Saturdays, which led eventually to the famous Enberg, Packer, Al McGuire broadcast team. THIS game from a TV standpoint put college bball on the map. Fourth, Notre Dame was no slouch in college basketball by 1974. Digger had built ND into a national power, they recruited nationally not just regionally, and had beaten UCLA in 1971. In this game, ND was also undefeated and ranked #2. So it was a monumental college bball clash. It was no fluke that ND won, it was just a huge upset because UCLA hadn't lost in 3 years. Fifth, remember as you watch this, that ND came back down 11 with 3 minutes left when there was NO shot clock and NO 3 point shot to make comebacks easier. UCLA could have slowed the pace down but the only way ND could have won is to make those 3 quick steals. Plus they didn't miss a shot the last 3 minutes. Sixth, NDs student body became famous for this game, and all during the 70s and 80s ND was the hardest place to play in the country many years. NDs student body made the small ACC a madhouse, and they affected the game so much that the student body was named MVP of this game. This also made ND #1 in both College Football (they had just beaten Alabama to win the Nat Champ in football) and College Basketball. A truly legendary epic game. Bill Walton, to this day, still says this was his toughest and most crushing loss he ever suffered. It was also his FIRST LOSS EVER in HS or college. He literally had not tasted defeat since grade school in a basketball game.

Just got to your post. Nailed it. Phelps was a master motivater. Him a Al McGuire were they best working the refs with talking un their ear. Not screaming.

great game? absolutely. greatest ever? ehhhhhh. greatest upset? maybe, but only because of how legendary ucla was at the time. you claim ucla-nd were arch rivals by '74. imho that's completely false. prior to this game the irish were 2-9 all time vs the bruins, w/just the '71 win since they won game 1 of the series in 1952. and the 9 ucla wins were by 31, 29, 51, 13, 31, 58, 25, 26 and 19 points. that's an average of 31+ points per game. no, they weren't rivals. as for national broadcasts, no network covered regular season games back then, but the tvs network was syndicated to every region in the country. i watched this game as a teenager in ohio which had no alliance to either school. nbc already had a contract at this time to broadcast the ncaa tournament, and it was 2 seasons later that nbc joined forces w/tvs to start airing games nationally on the weekends. as for nd being a 'national power' by then? lmao. no. austin carr had put the irish on the map a few years earlier, but in digger phelps' 1st 2 seasons after carr graduated he went 6-20 and 18-12... not exactly national power records. to phelps' credit, the '73-'74 team was really good, would go 26-3 but lost to michigan in a 2nd round ncaa tournament game. the irish would go on to make 8 straight appearance in march madness including '74, but no season would be like this one, and nd woefully underperformed in march, only twice advancing past the 2nd round in those 8 tournaments. nationally prominent, maybe, but not national power. the acc was an intimate arena (saw one game there driving back to columbus from chicago 20+ years ago), and obviously was electric in those final minutes as nd staged that miraculously comeback where the shots and their luck all fell their way.

and I remember thinking of Enberg as a game show host at the time (which he sometimes was.) I hadn't known he was a sports announcer too.

He hosted Sports Challange in early 70s. 3 players from famous sports teams answering sports trivia. Look up on tube great stuff. Also Endberg was ucla ay by play guy. Digger Phelps insisted he call game. He knew it was great for ratings for ncaa. And for his recruiting. Worked well for both.

The refs completely swallowed their whistles in the last three minutes. The traveling call on Curtis was a joke. The very next week they played again and UCLa ran them by 29.
