Big East Lottery Look Back: 1985
As we approach the 2016 NBA Draft, we're taking you back through every lottery pick in Big East history.
1985.
The year that spawned "We Are The World", New Coke, and Bowling for Soup's best song.
1985 also saw three Big East teams reach the Final Four, and gave the Villanova Wildcats their first National Championship in school history. The two other Big East Final Four representatives, Georgetown and St. John's, also made history. Hoyas center Patrick Ewing and Red Storm guard/forward Chris Mullin became the first two NBA Draft Lottery picks in conference history. They also both played for the Dream Team in 1992, in case the above image didn't make that clear.
