The story goes that legendary Villanova coach Rollie Massimino told his team they had to play a perfect game in order to beat Georgetown in the 1985 National Championship. In the first year ever for a 64-team NCAA tournament field, the 8-seed Wildcats completed their Cinderella run to the title by shooting a record 78.6% as a team for the game (22 for 28, including 9 for 10 in the second half) against the heavily favored 1-seed Georgetown Hoyas. Ed Pinckney led Villanova to a 66-64 victory in what has been called the greatest upset in college basketball history and one of the biggest upsets ever in sports history.
