SportsCentury: Villanova vs. Georgetown celebrates March Madness at its best, by taking us back to 1985, when underdog Villanova knocked off the big, bad Georgetown Hoyas in one of the biggest college basketball upsets of all-time. Most assumed the 35-2 Hoyas would have little problem with their Big East rivals, but those doubters had no idea Villanova would shoot 9-for-10 from the floor in the second half.

Ed Pinckney, Dwayne McClain, Gary McLain, Reggie Williams, Bill Martin and Patrick Ewing are among the players who reflect on that legendary April 1 evening. Was it Villanova coach Rollie Massimino's brilliant game plan? Was it Georgetown taking for granted a win over a team it had beaten twice that season? Or was it just a mystical night where all the stars were aligned for a tiny, Catholic school from Philadelphia?

The half-hour presentation, which debuts on ESPN Classic on March 22 at 8 p.m. ET, also takes a look back at the path each team took to get to the NCAA final.

Georgetown was Black America's team. The defending champs were intimidating and aggressive, from their coach John Thompson, to their pressure defense that left opponents shaking. They brushed aside racism directed their way, cruising to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Villanova also took great pride in their defense, but never scared anyone along the way. The "friendly" team from the suburbs was led by Massimino, their short, round coach, and three seniors viewed as perfect student-athletes. After underachieving much of the season, the Wildcats were fortunate to even make the tournament.

The show concludes with an examination of the aftermath for both teams. Georgetown never regained its status as the team to beat. Like Georgetown, Villanova has not returned to the Final Four, and it had its "nation's sweetheart" image take a hit when point guard Gary McLain made a splash by disclosing his cocaine addiction to Sports Illustrated.
