Stevie Thompson, one of the best players to put on a uniform at Syracuse that doesn't get talked about enough!

Man I'm a die hard Georgetown fan, but this still brings a smile to my face!! Big East Basketball forever!!

out of all the great PGs Syracuse had... and i love them all.. Sherm was The General.. THE MAN!!! thats my dude right there!

Stevie Thompson- still my all time favorite 'Cuse player.

Derrick Coleman was my all time fav. player in college basketball, AKA the Motown Masher, I wish his pro career would have been as good as his college career. Syracuse in the late 80's was my all time fav team to watch all the way out here on the west coast.

Watching this video takes me back to being a happy 10-year-old kid. I miss this kind of Syracuse basketball.

Love this video! Back in the days when Syracuse had some of the most talented teams ever assembled. Its a shame they didn't win any National championships with these teams. Syracuse was always loaded during this era. GO CUSE!!!

Back in those days, Syracuse didn't just dunk. They went for style points.

Sherm, Roe, Thompson, Owens, DC......... wow great team!!

I forgot how loaded those Syracuse teams were in the mid 80's/ early 90's. A nice trip down memory lane. Life IN GENERAL was truly good back then.

This team should have won the national title. Horrific. Too much talent.

That 1987 team was a monster....greatest SU team ever in my opinion.

That Sherman Douglas reverse in the championship game vs Georgetown was killer! Play that whole segment its nuts !

Dude thank you for this, seeing this brings back so many great memories. This is why I am a Syracuse fan to this day, Go Orangemen!!

Derrick Coleman and Billy Owens were once a the best power/small forward combination to be reckon with in college basketball.

Such a special team!! Sherman Douglas probably the greatest alley oop thrower of all times and a bunch of freakin amazing athletes.

Loved those '80s and '90s SU teams. So much fun to watch.

I was 14 when family moved to Syracuse area in 1987. I had never watched basketball but Sherman Douglas shortly became a god to me. His passing skills and creativity were mythical and they still shine in this video. It was such an exciting time and Cuse had their most athletic teams with a true PG and amazing frontcourt as well. They were exceptional talent wise. I thought those teams with Douglas, Coleman, Owens, Thompson and Seikaly were unstoppable forces that would win every game. It is still amazes me that they never achieved Final Four in 88, 89,90. Reality is that they were undisciplined and could not fit FTs. Sherm was under 70% for career. They also lacked a good three point shooter. It really hurt them against good shooting teams like URI and UMinn who ended their tourneys early those years. There was also fact that Georgetown was a better program at time. While I love 'The General', it was Charles Smith who was better PG. He was better defender and better shooter. Jaren Jackson was great 3pt shooter as well. G-town recruited best centers in America. Who could forget Mourning/Mutumbo on same team? Unreal talent but post 1987, the ACC/Duke really started to dominate landscape in late 80s. I think they sent Gtown packing in regional final one year. After that, the Big East really struggled for years to get team to final four. I think Seton Hall was last in 1989 until 1996 Cinderalla SU team.

The greatest program ever...

This is ten minutes and forty six seconds of heaven! Thanks!

I know that I'm late but watching this video reaffirms my opinion that the mid and late 80's were an exciting time to watch college basketball.

So awesome - thanks for sharing this - I loved watching Syracuse back then - such a cohesive, fun, and unselfish team with serious flair!

Everyone always talk about the Doctors Of Dunk, Phi Slamma Jamma, The Flying Illini...Syracuse should be in that same conversation

Thanks. I can't believe today is the last official Cuse / G'town Big East game.

Carrier dome is rocking in that Georgetown game!

Syracuse fans..the 2 most underrated players in 'Cuse history: Stevie Thompson and Dave Johnson!!! All time great players.

No problem. Just the best era for the "Cuse".

Memories! Shem was one of the best lob passers ever and Stevie Thompson was a finisher.

Thank you for posting this awesome video. It's a shame this great SU team couldn't cut down the nets. But DC the windex man was the one player that made me bleed Orange 4 ever. Stevie Thompson could flat out jump out of the gym. Billy Owen's was so smooth. Sherman Douglas the General leading the way. I remember as a kid a group of friends & I would get together to watch the Cuse especially the Hoya games afterwards it was on to the asphalt. This team was so exciting. This was the team before the Fab 5 that had that wow to it unbelievable great memories thanks again.

I really enjoyed watching this Syracuse team play, one of my all-time fave college teams.

Oh man this brought it back...miss these days! Go Orange!

The greatest video on youtube

I remember that Duke/Cuse game when I was a kid! I believe it was late 80's early 90's! College ball was great back then!

This is my childhood. Thanks for posting 🙏🏼

now this is good quarantine VIDS...

Hands down the best Syracuse starting 5 ever!

Derrick Coleman and Chris Webber best power forwards out of Detroit Michigan

The only forces powerful enough stand up to Mourning, Ewing, and Mutombo, in the Big East were Coleman, Owens and Seikaly. God I miss good basketball.

Ha! Man, growing up, Syracuse basketball was life! Fun times

Love seeing this.. back when "we" were fun to watch. Owens. Coleman. Douglas.. and it all started with the Pearl!! RIP 31

Hard to not love this team.

This squad must have been fun as hell to watch.

I played with David Johnson at Maine Central Institute and man was he fun to play with!! With the late Carlton Hines too

That is exactly what they did. Why they were so fun to watch.

This is seriously the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

Unbelievable awesome incredible

This was one of the best teams Syracuse has ever had

As I would say, this is one of the dunkingest teams ever.

AWESOME VIDEO MAN!!! If you have more dunk videos, put em up. Especially with Conrad Mcrae.. And his blocks as well.

Very fun teams in this era.

DC WAS A BEAST! Even playing point guard.

Great piece!

It was such a GREAT year!!!

AWESOME!!!!

Loved Seikaly and Billy “The Kid” Owens!

I think I watched all of these games at your house, Matt. 1. This team was sick. 2. Stevie Thompson could jump out of the gym. 3. Derrick Coleman, what can you say? 4. The Big East was the best bball conference back then. 5. Georgetown vs. Syracuse was the biggest game of them all at the time. 6. Don't forget about David Johnson or Herman Hareid!!!! 7. Matt Roe is the man. 8. Jim Boehiem still looks like your dad,

DC from my hometown DETROIT!!

amazing video, someone should try and put together of all the big dunks from this period of time in the video to now.

My favorite NCAA College game ever was the game at the 3:34 mark through the 10:45 mark. The were all in the same game. The only thing missing was see John Thompson getting ejected that led to 3 of those dunks. S.S. scored 11 points on one posession.

Stevie Thompson had no jump shot and could not shoot free throws at 6 " 4' all he could do was play defense and dunk.

It seemed like athleticism of college athletes was improving during and soon after the MIchael Jordan era. The college basketball 3 point goal began in 1986 and opened up the game.

Made my day

Plus, ya gotta understand...Stevie Thompson was doing that at 6'2" at best!

The 'Cuse is in da house! Oh my God, oh my God!

1:27 Avery Johnson did an almost similar “Aw, no he didn’t!” play against Kentucky in the 88 NCAA tourney

Billy Owens, one of the most unrequited talents ever. I remember when he came to Oakland as the reason for breaking up Run TMC. Richmond made the HOF from Sacramento; Hardaway went on to a legendary career with the Heat. Owens? One promising season and he disappeared like a fist when you open your hand, never to be heard from again. Pity.

That team was awesome with a capitol A....

cuse 4 ever!!!!!!!

My team and still my team til this day

Matt, do you have the old games on tape from 87-89? i'm specifically looking for the g'town game @ the dome (Sherman's last home game. 82-76 W), the NC game in the 87 dance, and the blowout W over Michigan/Glen Rice/Rumeal @ the dome. i used to have all these on tape and the only ones i still have are the florida and providence games in 87. i'm guessing you have a great collection to put this together. great work!

The 5 dislikes must be Hoya fans

"But they don't have Derrick Coleman!"

Word!!

Amen!!

ayo, Sherman Douglas was Chris Paul before Chris Paul...pure PG, coach on the floor...The General made all this happen!

They should make a more current state of dunks from say 2000 to the current day

do you have the game they played against East Tn State in '88-'89???

are you going to post college basketball games too?

Matt Roe use to stroke them three's. His trey ball use to be daggers!!!

Can imagine Kevin Garnett playin with their.

Billy Owens was a very special talent, though I'm beginning to think one of the reasons he didn't go play for Dean Smith at UNC was because of Kenny Williams.

That is what Syracuse should have done against Indiana in the '87 championship game. Alley oop and dunk all over 'em, they would have been a HOOPS dynasty!!

What did they win?

bring back the cursive syracuse already

No Pearl?

Crazy how they never took it all. Reid and Seikaly coming off the bench???

skinny DC

Derrick Coleman > Blake Griffin???

the 5 thumbs down must be georgetown fans lol

It's Olawalliee Reynolds I hear my son saying that man raped me where's the police..

The game is changing and not in ways that I like lol

I remember Stephen Thompson..lol..He couldn't throw a beach ball in the ocean

Those white boys cant dunk from Indiana

music makes it unbearable to watch.

Owens, Siekaly, and Coleman all look like Giannis or some shit, it's ridiculous.
