And 2 state championship HS coaches. An NCAA championship coach. An NAIA champ. This game was insane. Add to that 6 of the 13 USA WNT in the next Olympics.
Fun fact. This was the year BEFORE the NCAA adopted a smaller sized basketball for women's basketball, so this game is being played with the male (29.5) sized basketball.
What a game Cherl Miller the greatest female baller ever the McGee twinz and Cynthia Cooper Tech had players as well Laurence Rodman White and Coach Mulkey who was throwing some really ill passes.
i just told a young guy from here, LA Techsters were a powerhouse back in the day. Pam Thomas from my old neighborhood. i remember the last second buzzer to North Carolina till this day in 1994
One of the most classic games in basketball history. Cynthia Cooper won the first three WNBA MVP awards, and is in the Hall of Fame. Kim Mulkey won the National title with Angel Reese. Cheryl Miller scored 100 points in a game, and Dennis Rodman's sister is a legend in her own right. Pamela McGee is the mother of Javale....
When the defender is still moving and when the defender undercuts the shooter that is not a charge. The officials were terrible in this game. Excellent way to fight back Lady Trojans 👏🏼 for the win!
Listen to the words Ann Meyers used to describe the white player versus the black player... ''Kim Mulkey is a very INTELLIGENT player, an academic All American.'' ''That was a UNINTELLIGENT play by Cynthia Cooper.': One thing that has been consistent over the years is how announcers were always quick to label the white athlete intelligent and the black player as athletic or has God given abilities.
Very true ….. this is the case in a lot of sports. The Williams sisters in tennis were known for their athleticism, speed and strength. Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb and others in football were known for their athleticism, not their intelligence. I and many others have noticed this over the years with sports announcers.
Miller just played so hard it was OBVIOUS she had more intensity than anybody else playing that day!! Great game though..and Cynthia Cooper came a long way because she was shaky back then...lol
If you do the lineage tree here, this might be the inception of the next 3 decades of BOTH men's and women's basketball. Mulkey is a coaching GOAT. Miller, Cooper, Rodman and McGhee all are HoFers. 2 have younger brothers in the HoF. Multiple futre HS and NCAA coaches of distinction in this game. This was an important moment.
1:09:16: "Paula McGee is engaged to be married to Darryl Strawberry..." His first of 3 wives. Great athletic genes passed on, but that can't have been a picnic.
Extra credit to those sistas hoopin in jheri curls. Cheryl Miller looks like a modern player 40 years ago...still has a very credible argument as the women's GOAT.
I wonder if that's just how they called the game back then? At least they called it consistently for both teams. Part of me thinks the NBA's desire to emphasize scoring (and entertainment) is what influenced how block/charges are called currently vs. how it's called in this game.
Couple of things regarding the officiating. First this is a 2 person crew. Today all professional, college and high school varsity games have 3 person crews. There is a reason 3 person officiating became the norm at these levels to the extent possible. Simply put 3 sets of eyes are better than 2. Second, you do not have to stay set to take a charge. This is a common misunderstanding of the rules that people have. If the defender establishes legal guarding position they may move to keep it, as long as the movement isn’t forward into the offensive player.
I'm 7 minutes in and I'm calling cap on Sheryl miller being about to hang with guys in the NBA.. I've heard her story so many times. I came to watch her play in this video and was utterly disappointed.
Collars and/or sleeves were worn by many women's teams up through the early to mid '90's. Evansville's men were famous for wearing sleeves into the 90's as well.
Crazy! Never knew Rodman had a sister, that played, and played against Cheryl Miller! LJ interview brought me here.
Yep! 😁
And Kim Mulkey is in the game.... (Lsu coach and former Baylor coach)
Cynthia Cooper, too, with Javel Mcgee's mom and aunt WOW
@@MichaelJones-ke1xt wow! Thanks for info
Same bro! LJ said it and I had to come see for myself
All the big names in women's basketball were in this game. Miller, Cooper, Rodman, McGee, Mulkey. This is amazing!!!
Bunch of plumbers
@@dadillonfulNope..Cheryl the 🐐
They would have whooped you one on one though, let's be serious.
@@tristarea08 You must be a TS cause you have two different names. FOH!!!
You must be a T cause you have two different names. FOH, bish!!!
USC was truly legendary back in the day... My aunt is #15 😍😍💪🏽💪🏽💛❤️💛❤️
Actually la tech was legendary... beat them year before for a title and I think the year after...
From La Tech?? #15 White
That moment when you came here for Cheryl Miller, but you realize that JaVale McGee's mother and aunt are both in this game... #11 #30
i remember the mcgee twins back in the day. for whatever reason i couldn't make the connection to javale. thank you for that.
Also Cynthia Cooper the first and 2x WNBA MVP, 4x Finals MVP, Kim Mulkey for La Tech, HOF coach.
And Dennis Rodman All American sister is in this game too for Louisiana Tech, Debra Rodman #44 and Lawrence Roberts mom is in this game too
Twin towers
Kim Mulkey is who she said she is 😮 hight has nothing on her, very passionate, always controlling
1:00 Dennis Rodman older sister blocking Reggie millers older sister. Who would’ve thought these are big sisters of legendary nba guys
Wow a lot of degrees of separation here... Cheryl Miller, Cynthia Cooper, Kim Mulkey, Deborah Rodman, Pam McGee.
Who?
One of the greatest games in college basketball history, men or women. At least 6 HoFers on one court!
And 2 state championship HS coaches. An NCAA championship coach. An NAIA champ. This game was insane. Add to that 6 of the 13 USA WNT in the next Olympics.
Cheryl Miller Knuckleheads interview bought me her lol!!
Same
Me 2
Me TOO!!!! I didn't know Mulkey played against her and the officiating was horrible....
@reginaldrodges9358 lol, yes the officiating was getting on my last nerve.
Me too 😂
I dont think people understand the legends that are in this game.
wow mulkey got hosed on that charge at the end of the game, what a horrible call
@@evolutionofcando379 yup
💯
Dennis Rodmans big sister Debra Rodman is in this game. It's crazy all the connections to people and these female basketball careers later.
Thanks. I was gonna look her up to see if they’re related.
Also javael McGee mom / aunt are on Cheryl's millers team
@@dmailaddress25 Just watch the ESPN documentary of Dennis. You'll see her there.
Cheryl Miller looks like Reggie Miller.
she the one made Rodman tougher she was his teacher they hoping in they warm up jersey LA tech raw for that
I believe this is the best all around basketball game I've ever seen from a woman. Congrats Cheryl. You are the GWOAT.
Man I used to love Cheryl Miller as a basketball player it was just something about her she stood out from rest
I remember watching this broadcast. Thrilling game. Cheryl Miller triumphantly kicking the ball at end is a lasting memory!!!
So Dennis Rodman & Reggie Miller we’re inspired by their big sisters to play ball, this is amazing
Reggie miller used to get beat by Cheryl all the time
Reggie couldn't BEAT Cheryl back in their Riverside days. She was the legend of the family. He was Cheryl's kid brother for years.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot2 He probably could beat her now, now that she’s a lot older & a little slower 😆😆😆
I mean, they're only 2 years apart.@jleron22
@@Aaris15 oh word, who Cheryl & Reggie?
Fun fact. This was the year BEFORE the NCAA adopted a smaller sized basketball for women's basketball, so this game is being played with the male (29.5) sized basketball.
This game is goated idc a lot of legends on the court
What a game Cherl Miller the greatest female baller ever the McGee twinz and Cynthia Cooper Tech had players as well Laurence Rodman White and Coach Mulkey who was throwing some really ill passes.
Cynthia Cooper BEEN PLAYING BALLING SINCE '83???? #nice
Absolutely yes.
March Madness can you make a highlight filim of Cheryl Millers final 4?

First 20 min of the game I'm just like "i know who that short white girl is for Tech." Looks up her name "OHHHHHH THAT IS HER!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!"
Ms. Miller is a Bucket and a Gamer. Its Crazy! Respect! XUP!
Look at Kim Mulkey 😭🔥🔥🔥 Man Cheryl Miller was tuff she had Aura to✨ Cheryl and Cynthia on the same team is insane
"Her town is so small, that it wasn't saluted on Hee Haw"...LOL
Thank God I was looking all over the Internet for this game
Dennis Rodman’s sister and Karl Malone were there at Tech around the same time
Larry Johnson interview on all the smoke brought me here 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Me, too.
When the defender is still moving and when the defender undercuts the shooter that is not a charge. The officials were terrible in this game. Excellent way to fight back Lady Trojans 👏🏼 for the win!
I can't believe how many dodgy calls there were, especially down the stretch.
Blocking all the way. No way that was a charge
Boy Kim Mulkey could really play and she's tiny.
Kinda cute, too. It's weird to see her now.
I had never heard of Jennifer White before today, but she was balling out.
40 years later that USC women's college basketball team is still great
Cheryl Miller looks like Reggie Miller.
@@reggaefan2700 Cheryl Miller is the greatest women's basketball player of all time
@@80srocknroller So they say....
@@reggaefan2700No, she really is. Reggie: You couldn’t win…YOU COULDN’T WIN!
@@80srocknroller actually its juju
sounds like wnba roster of players and coached- lowkey legends
The defense by Miller at the end was smart to make sure Kim Mulkey didn't score, great game by all time legends in this one.
That Kim Girl is going to be a Great Coach!!!
Listen to the words Ann Meyers used to describe the white player versus the black player...

@@123slasher.16@1:26:23 “Are you kidding me”? The hate was real from Ann Meyers! Smfh.
Tom Heinsome (sp) used to say Larry Bird was an intelligent player, Magic and nem were athletic.

Lol 😂😆
Thanks LJ
This is beyond great. 💯
Young Cynthia Cooper!
Miller just played so hard it was OBVIOUS she had more intensity than anybody else playing that day!! Great game though..and Cynthia Cooper came a long way because she was shaky back then...lol
Wow. That was an awesome game.
Who all is here because of the Larry Johnson interview 😂
Larry Johnson brought me here
Jehri curls in effect
😂😂😂
Cheryl tha Pearl was a pro as a freshman. Icon for sure
Kim Mulkey walked around and controlled the game really well.
I like her speed 😏
These ladies could seriously ball.
If you do the lineage tree here, this might be the inception of the next 3 decades of BOTH men's and women's basketball.
Mulkey is a coaching GOAT. Miller, Cooper, Rodman and McGhee all are HoFers. 2 have younger brothers in the HoF.
Multiple futre HS and NCAA coaches of distinction in this game. This was an important moment.
Reggie Miller runs just like his big sister!!
Tough loss… but I love Reggie’s Sister … Kim Mulkey brought me here … go Lady Tigers vs Gamecocks tomorrow!
That LA Tech C was skying. The tip-off, followed by the immediate entry pass. 😮
March Madness can your team put a highlight video together of Cheryl Miller?
The wnba should watch this game these women have good fundamentals and team work
I loved watching the foul war between Miller and Mulkey. #Smarts
I'm here because of grandma ma Larry Johnson for you young folks he said Denis Rodman have a sisbetter than him😅 had to see
Cynthia cooper and cheryl miller on the same team is unfair. 😂
I remember Louisiana Tech always had a squad in the 80’s
Those tech uniforms are kinda fly
Man if they had wnba back then she would of been the greatest wnba player
Absolutely yes she would have ruled!
Mulkey should have pulled up for a short jumper. That charge ended the game
1:09:16: "Paula McGee is engaged to be married to Darryl Strawberry..." His first of 3 wives. Great athletic genes passed on, but that can't have been a picnic.
better than today WNBA
I wonder if that charge that LA Tech committed inspired the scene in Love and Basketball where Monica took the charge against LA Tech.
Here because LJ said Rodman had a sister who beat USC in the championship game.I never knew Rodman had a sister who played basketball!👍🏾
Extra credit to those sistas hoopin in jheri curls. Cheryl Miller looks like a modern player 40 years ago...still has a very credible argument as the women's GOAT.
Meanwhile, LSU’s current women’s coach Kim Mulkey running the point
She really could play.
You do not have to be a statue to draw a charge. When the defender beats the offensive player to the spot, it is a charge.
Cheryl Miller being Cheryl Miller.
Coach Mulvey from lsu angel resse playing wow
Funny I thgt I saw Reggie’s form whn she shot
some head coaches in here
Dennis Rodman's sister and USC with Cheryl Miller, Cynthia Cooper and Pam Mcgee ( Javale's mom)
And Paula McGee, JaVale's aunt.
why have coaches they have no plays and dont set pics
BRING BACK COLLARED BASKETBALL UNIFORMS!!!!
The refs were terrible at calls during this game. They were blowing the whistle at the right time sometimes but calling the wrong offenses.
They were trying to fix it
Legends everywhere
I wonder if that's just how they called the game back then? At least they called it consistently for both teams.
Part of me thinks the NBA's desire to emphasize scoring (and entertainment) is what influenced how block/charges are called currently vs. how it's called in this game.
What is a Lady Techster?
Watching the action I think the ladies move the ball pretty well…
Jennifer white was a dawg, her defense looked funny lol but she was locked in
Is it me or does this look more sophisticated than modern bball (both NBA & WNBA)? 🤔
JUJU on da beat is trying to bring a Championship back to So Cal let’s go!!
That shot chart😂😂
That was not a charge they called on Mulkey.
Kim mulkey was nice!!!
How did Lady Techsters fare versus my Northwestern State Demons in those years?
5 players in this game is HOF no doubt
Was that Phil Jackson coaching for USC? Looks like him.
I have heard of this game through women of Troy!
This was a good game.

This is just one game not her entire career.😊
Lets Gooo Ms. Wittman from The Bronx just like myself! XUP!
Yeah, that was a blocking foul if I ever saw one...she's still moving sideways.
lady tech uniforms are so beautiful. love the collar shirt... all unis should be like this
no. maybe as warmups but not as jerseys. sleeves and collars need to be a thing of the past lol
Yea La Tech uniforms where ahead of everyone by far.
Collars and/or sleeves were worn by many women's teams up through the early to mid '90's.
Evansville's men were famous for wearing sleeves into the 90's as well.
bad charging call by the ref at the end of the game. Defender was still moving
Those collared short sleeve jerseys look fire
