In a thread on Packpride, one of their posters mentioned that he thought the 1981 WF bball team could have won the NCAA Championship. Another poster pretty much laughed at the idea.
It was the first WFU basketball team that I remember getting really excited about. I was too young to really remember Brown, Shellenberg, Griffin. And it was a complete team. Johnson and Helms at guard, Rogers and Morgan at forward, Johnstone at center.
I think that the '81 team was one of WF's best ever. It was definitely a Final Four quality team. We split 4 games with UNC and 2 games with UVa, both of who made the Final 4 that year.
