ESPN Classic

[Nevadaref]

For anyone who gets this channel, they are showing some of the best NCAA basketball games ever.

I watched a couple of the games that were shown Monday and I noticed that the officials wore collars! Also there were no tenths of a second on the game clock. 1987 and 1989 Finals.

From 7AM to 7PM EST there is a different classic game on every two hours. Set your recorder! This a great opportunity to get a copy of some of these great games. For some of these are from before I started officiating, so I didn't pay much attention to the officials. It is cool to be able to see these contests with a different view now.
