From the NCAA website, “The 1990 tournament gave us seven genuine buzzer beaters, five overtime games, seven one-point finishes, and 23 games decided by a single possession. It gave us 10 major upsets – if the measure is the winner being seeded at least five spots lower than the loser.

It gave us a No. 16 seed taking a No. 1 into overtime. A clock mistake that might have cost a renowned coach his last trip to the Final Four. A player shooting free throws with the wrong hand, to honor a teammate he had just helped bury. A team scoring 115 points – and losing by 34.

It gave us a tour de force of offense, in an age of scoring. The average winning score from the Elite Eight on was 97.3. Georgia Tech, destined for the Final Four, averaged 88.5 points a game that season. In 2015, those Yellow Jackets would be No. 1 in the nation by more than four points. In 1990, they were 18th.

And in the end, it gave us an historic rout, by a mighty champion whose title transcended the game, and spread into the differences of our society at large. UNLV 103, Duke 73. A quarter-century later, the score still astounds.”

This was one of the most historic National Championship Games in the last 50 years. Jerry Tarkanian at the height of his coaching powers.

Offered is a gorgeous ticket stub from the game graded by PSA 8 NM-MT.

To date, PSA has graded 8 of these (with no full tickets in the Pop report). Only 2 of these have achieved this grade.  Generally speaking, PSA is ultra conservative on their ticket grading. Receiving an 8 on a ticket is quite similar to a 10 on a card. None have been graded higher than an 8.

This is a must for any high-end ticket collection!
