It has already been 40 years since North Carolina State and Head Coach Jim Valvano pulled off one of the most memorable upsets in sports history as his team defeated the University of Houston, known as Phi Slama Jama, for the National Championship. Host Dana Auguster talks to fellow Sports History Network podcaster Rick Loayza about that incredible 1983 NCAA tournament that reached its climax in Albuquerque and the Final Four that featured Houston, North Carolina State, Louisville and Georgia. Later in the show, Dana and Rick will reminisce about their time as college students where their schools, Southern University and Santa Clara respectively each pulled off first round upsets in 1993.
