| 1979 NCAA Finals - Larry Bird vs. Magic Johnson [Ending] |
 |
Michigan State, coached by Jud Heathcote, won
the national title with a 75-64 victory in
the final game over Indiana State, coached by
Bill Hodges. Magic Johnson of Michigan State
was named the tournament's Most Outstanding
Player.
The final game marked the beginning of the
rivalry between future Hall of Famers Johnson
and Larry Bird. To this day, it remains the
highest-rated game in the history of
televised college basketball. Both Magic and
Bird would enter the NBA in the fall of 1979,
and the rivalry between them and their teams
(respectively, the Los Angeles Lakers and
Boston Celtics) was a major factor in the
league's renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s.
The game also led to the "modern era" of
college basketball, as it introduced a
nationwide audience to a sport that was once
relegated to second-class status in the
sports world.
This was the first tournament in which all
teams were seeded by the NCAA Division I
Men's Basketball Committee. The top six seeds
in each regional received byes to the second
round, while seeds 7-10 played in the first
round.

This year my bracket was whack
I thought duke was better than that
Who would pick a sweet sixten with a seven
and a ten and two twelve seeds
Quit my whining in a hurry
Saw davidson, stefhon, curry
That boy weighs ninety pounds but he kept on
knockin them clutch 3s down
MARCH MADNESS do the big dance
The buzzer beaters made me wet my pants
These boys take more big big shots than bonds
and clemens combined, and that's a lot
I thought the big upsets wouldn't stop then
Four number one seeds rose to the top
First time ever in the history all
Cause these final four teams all can ball
This first matchup has more talent than
Hannah Montana...
We've got Memphis coming from the home of the
blues
Against UCLA, from the home of tom cruise
And both teams rode all the way here on the
backs of kids in their freshman year
But their games are manly bro
Even though their last names are LOVE and
ROSE
Both play for pride instead of messing with
hoes
Cause THAT kinda ballin' is for playas in the
pros
Two teams with two bigtime stars
Who can't afford their own cars
But don't you shed them a tear
They'll be hella rich next year
Because we already know
Out of dough
Goin pro for the dough
YEAH
The second matchup is bound to be a bloody
grudge match.
REDEMPTION
The word starts with R
Just like Roy Williams, do you know who he
are?
The tarheels head coach and he's preppin the
plays
KANSAS
The team he straight dicthed, okay
They got brandon rush who rocks a flattop G
But UNC has Psycho "T"
KU has revenge on the mind
Out to show Roy, he left the wrong school
behind
It's like mud wrestling your ex girlfriend
Rough and dirty until the bitter end
These boys will go blow for blow
Just like your ex girlfriend, she was a ho!
Both teams with missiles to deploy
But this game is all about Roy
San Antone' is about to explode!
This is what you get on the road
To the final four four
Get on the dancefloor
It once had room for 64
But no more
We're to the final 4
Only three games more
YEAH
