Rollie Massimino’s Villanova Wildcats were considered long shots as the 1985 tournament kicked off. Things got interesting in the Sweet 16, when Villanova upset the heavily favored North Carolina Tar Heels.
The Wildcats then beat juggernauts Kentucky and Memphis before squaring off with Patrick Ewing’s Georgetown Hoyas in the final. Against all odds, Villanova beat Georgetown in one of the biggest upsets that had ever been seen at that point.
