1988–89 Football League, First Division, Summary
A fiercely-contested title race went right to the wire, with the title-deciding game featuring both contenders not being played until 26 May — six days after the FA Cup final — as the league season was extended following the Hillsborough disaster on 15 April, in which 96 Liverpool fans died. Liverpool went on to lift the trophy in the second all-Merseyside FA Cup final in four seasons, and a strong second half of the season had taken them to the top of the league; they needed only a draw at home to second-placed Arsenal to clinch the title.


1988–89 Football League, First Division, Summary
The Gunners, on the other hand, needed to win by at least two clear goals to beat the Merseysiders to the title, and that was exactly what they did. A late goal from Michael Thomas ended Arsenal's 18-year wait to be champions of England again, the only time the English league has been decided by goals for.

Third placed Nottingham Forest, who won the League Cup and the Full Members Cup (their first pieces of silverware since winning the European Cup in 1980) had a mediocre first half of the season before finding their form after Christmas, although they never looked like serious title contenders. Their East Midlands rivals Derby County were on the fringes of the title race for much of the season, and their fifth place finish was their highest for well over a decade.


1988–89 Football League, First Division, Summary
Three teams who were among the pre-season title favourites failed to make an impact in the title race. Everton could only manage an eighth place finish, their lowest final position since 1982, although they did well in the cup competitions, finishing runners-up in the FA Cup and Full Members Cup. Tottenham, who had spent millions in the transfer market since Terry Venables became manager, were bottom of the table in late October but enjoyed an upturn in form during the second half of the season to secure sixth place in the final table.


1988–89 Football League, First Division, Summary
Manchester United continued to rebuild under Alex Ferguson, but a failure to convert draws into victories during the first half of the season and a run of bad results during the season's final stages dragged them down to 11th place in the final table; a good run of form after Christmas had projected them into the fringes of the title race, but their season ultimately collapsed after an FA Cup quarter-final exit.

1988–89 Football League, Second Division
Steve Coppell's rejuvenation of Crystal Palace finally paid off and five seasons and two near misses with promotion when they triumphed over Blackburn Rovers in the two-legged playoff final and overturned a two-goal deficit in the first leg which had looked to have ended the Lancashire side's 23-year absence from the First Division. Defeat in the semi-finals prevented an instant return to the First Division for Watford, while the other beaten semi-finalists Swindon narrowly missed out on matching the four-season rise from the Fourth Division to the First achieved earlier in the decade by Swansea and Wimbledon.

1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Player summaries
Since Patrick Ewing's graduation in May 1985, Georgetown had struggled to find a suitable replacement at center; sophomore Grady Mateen had been ineffective at the position in the 1985–86 season and had transferred to Ohio State after that year, while his successor Ben Gillery, who played in 1986–87 and 1987–88, had lacked offensive skill and seen only limited playing time. However, two talented centers joined the team this season. Freshman Alonzo Mourning, viewed nationally as "the next Patrick Ewing," arrived, and great things were expected of him and, because of him, for Georgetown men's basketball as a whole.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Player summaries
Unheralded sophomore Dikembe Mutombo, a native of Zaire, in contrast, had spent his freshman year playing only intramural basketball – probably the greatest intramural basketball player in Georgetown history, on what was with John Turner also on the team, probably the best intramural basketball team in school history – in order to settle into life in the United States and focus on his academic studies and English language skills.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Player summaries
Without any press attention, he was a virtual unknown outside of the Georgetown campus during his freshman year, and arrived on the varsity team for his sophomore season as a surprise to sportswriters and opposing teams. Mourning and Mutombo were among five future National Basketball Association (NBA) players on the 1988–89 squad.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Player summaries
Unaccustomed to American collegiate basketball, Mutombo appeared in 33 of the team's 34 games but started none of them and saw only limited playing time, averaging 11 minutes per game while he became acclimated to the college game in the United States. Although he averaged only 3.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game for the season, these figures belied the scoring and defensive prowess he displayed on the court.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Player summaries
Opponents found his close-range shots virtually impossible to stop, and he broke a 22-year-old school record with a 70.7% shooting average from the field; he scored in 23 games, and shot 100% from the field in ten of them. On defense, he showed himself to be a skilled shot blocker; never taught in Zaire to jump in anticipation of an opponent's shot, he simply stood his ground and waited for the opponent to commit to a shot before rising to swat it away.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Player summaries
He blocked 75 shots during the season, and set a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) record with 12 shots blocked in a single game against St. John's. Despite his prowess, Mutumbo served solely as Mourning's backup; it would take an additional year before Thompson realized that Mourning and Mutumbo should be playing in the starting lineup at the same time.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Player summaries
Mourning, meanwhile, started all 34 games, averaging 29 minutes per game, and became a consistent scoring threat. Although he averaged only eight shots per game and led the team in scoring only six times, he averaged 13.2 points (along with 7.3 rebounds) per game. In his third game, playing against Saint Leo, he unofficially had the first triple double in Georgetown history. In his first ten games, he averaged 5.7 blocked shots per game, and in his eleventh, against Miami on January 7, 1989, he had 26 points, 17 rebounds, and six blocks. By the end of the season, he had blocked an NCAA-record 169 shots.

1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Player summaries
At Louisiana State ten days later before the largest crowd in NCAA history and with a possible No. 1 ranking on the line for the second-ranked Hoyas after Arizona's loss earlier in the week, he scored 32 points as the Hoyas came back from 10 points behind to take a four-point lead with 2:08 left in the game; unfortunately for the Hoyas, the Tigers tied the game and, after they put up a shot with five seconds left that missed, LSU forward Ricky Blanton tipped the ball in to give the Tigers an 82–80 victory. Fifteen days after that, Smith scored 22 at Pittsburgh. He would finish the year averaging 18.7 points per game.

The Hoyas were the No. 1 seed in the East Region of the 1989 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament – the 11th of 14 consecutive Georgetown NCAA Tournament appearances. In their first round game against Ivy League champion Princeton, Smith shot only 2-for-12 from the field and the Hoyas barely escaped an upset.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Team season recap
Princeton employed a 1950s-era offense and scored 14 of their 21 field goals off of layups off back-door screens, and, after Mourning blocked a last-second Princeton shot that some observers believed should have been called a personal foul against him, Georgetown barely eked out a 50–49 victory. In the second round, Smith scored 34 points to lead Georgetown to a win over Notre Dame, but he twisted his ankle, and the injury made him ineffective in the East Region semifinal against North Carolina State, in which he scored only a single point. Bryant scored a team-high 24 points and Jackson scored 17, however, and the Hoyas again emerged with a victory.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Team season recap
In the East Region final, Georgetown faced the region's No. 2 seed, Duke. Smith scored 21 points and Tillmon 16, but Jackson managed only 1-for-10 shooting from the field. The Blue Devils, led by Danny Ferry and freshman Christian Laettner built an early lead that they never relinquished, and they knocked the Hoyas out of the tournament, bringing Georgetown's season to an end, with the 77–85 loss. The Hoyas were ranked No. 2 in the season's final Associated Press Poll and Coaches' Poll behind only Arizona.


1988–89 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Team season recap
Although it was not apparent at the time, Duke's defeat of Georgetown signaled a change in the balance of power in men's college basketball. While Duke was on the rise entering the 1990s, the Hoyas' era of dominance was beginning to come to a close. Georgetown would not win the Big East Tournament again until the 2007–08 team won in 2008, and before the 2007–08 team's Final Four appearance in the 2008 NCAA Tournament, the Hoyas would make an Elite Eight appearance only once, when the 1995–96 team advanced to the East Region final of the 1996 NCAA Tournament.

1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season
The 1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey team represented the Harvard University in college ice hockey. In its 18th year under head coach Bill Cleary the team compiled a 31–3–0 record and reached the NCAA tournament for the fourteenth time. The Crimson defeated Minnesota 4–3 in overtime to win the championship game at the St. Paul Civic Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
After spending the previous year playing for the US National Team at the 1988 Winter Olympics, Lane MacDonald and Allen Bourbeau returned to Harvard and led a very experienced team that was looking to being the Crimson its first national championship. MacDonald was named team captain and placed on the top line along with Bourbeau and C. J. Young. Over the course of the season Harvard was led by its upper-classmen, with nearly two thirds of the game-to-game roster coming from the veterans. However, the Crimson got major contributions from underclassmen as well. Sophomores Peter Ciavaglia and Ted Donato earned their place on the second line with the former leading the team in scoring. In net Bill Cleary decided to go with a goaltending tandem with the two freshmen Allain Roy and Chuckie Hughes alternating starts.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, Fast Start
The Crimson began the year with five wins against different conference opponents, though none were particularly strong squads. The first real test for Harvard came against Hockey East powerhouse Boston College where the two Boston-area rivals battled into overtime where the ivy-leaguers took the game. In the three succeeding games Harvard absolutely pounded their ECAC opponents, scoring 27 goals and routing the competition. Harvard ended 1988 with a pair of games against New Hampshire teams. After an overtime win over UNH the Crimson smashed long-time rival Dartmouth 10–0, Harvard's only shutout of the season.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, Number One
Harvard began the second half of its season in early January and looked to have lost a bit of a step during their three-week break; they continued to win games but their massive goal differentials had vanished. Just when it looked like they were vulnerable, however, the Crimson soundly beat previously-undefeated St. Lawrence and claimed the #1 ranking. The 15–0 Crimson were off to their best start since the depression but couldn't build on their lead for another two weeks.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, Number One
When they finally returned to the ice at the end of the month their offense was nowhere to be found against their arch-rival Yale and Harvard suffered its first loss of the season. The Crimson recovered for the next two games, winning easily against two of the conference's worst teams, before heading to the Boston Garden for the start of the Beanpot.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, Beanpot champion
Despite Harvard's success throughout the 1980s the program hadn't won a Beanpot semifinal since 1981 and they wouldn't have an easy task in the first game as they faced Boston College who were looking for revenge after the earlier loss. Once more the squads fought a close game but Harvard was able to come out as the victor once more, setting up a championship showdown against Boston University a week later. In the meantime Harvard played a pair of road games and suffered their second loss of the season, losing in overtime to 3rd-place Colgate. The Beanpot championship came two days after the loss and Harvard's forwards ran roughshod over the Terriers, scoring nine times to win the match and give the program its ninth Beanpot title.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, Beanpot champion
Harvard faced a bit of a gauntlet in the final two weeks of the regular season, going up against two of the top teams in the conference, but Harvard was able to sweep both weekends and cement its 4th-consecutive ECAC title.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, ECAC Tournament
Harvard began the conference tournament by hosting Rensselaer in the best-of-three quarterfinals and won two games handily. The Crimson headed back to Boston Garden for the championship rounds and found themselves in a touch match against the upstart Vermont Catamounts. They fought to a 2–2 draw after regulation and when the sixth-seed team were the ones to find the back of the net Harvard headed to its third consolation game of in four years. While they won the match against Cornell, Harvard's loss in the semifinal gave the top eastern seed to Maine despite the Crimson's 27–3 record.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, NCAA Tournament
The slightly lowering of their ranking still gave Harvard a first-round bye in the national tournament, allowing the Crimson to wait at home for their opponent. In late March Harvard played their final home games of the season against defending national champion Lake Superior State and the difference between the two could not have been greater. While Harvard was a fast-skating finesse team, the Lakers were a hard-nosed checking group that relied on their All-American goalie Bruce Hoffort to bail them out on the penalty kill. Harvard's goaltending tandem were able to keep LSSU from scoring much in the two games, allowing the Crimson to win both games and advance to their fourth Frozen Four of the decade.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, NCAA Tournament
In the semifinal Harvard faced the team that had stopped them from winning the 1986 championship in Michigan State. The senior class for MSU remembered the win over Harvard and leading-scorer Bobby Reynolds remarked:


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, NCAA Tournament
The relief over facing the Ivy-leaguers was soon erased when Harvard scored twice in the first while Allain Roy stood on his head to make a spectacular save on Reynolds' wrap-around chance. In the end it was the boys from the east who skated away with the victory in front of a mostly-MSU cheering 15,000.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, NCAA Tournament, Title Game
The championship game pitted two teams who had been desperately trying to win the title over the previous decade but came up empty each year. While Harvard wore their home whites it was Minnesota who had a sellout crowd cheering for them in their backyard of Saint Paul. Just prior to the game Lane MacDonald received the Hobey Baker Award, giving both teams a national player of the year (Robb Stauber had won the award in 1988). Both teams were anxious to win the championship and came out flying at the start of the game.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, NCAA Tournament, Title Game
Minnesota got on the board first with a fairly soft goal from the stick of Jon Anderson. In Harvard's zeal to tie up the game they took three consecutive penalties in the first period but the penalty kill, which had been good all season, stood strong and prevented Minnesota from extending its lead.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, NCAA Tournament, Title Game
In the second in was Minnesota's turn in the box and the Gophers received three straight minors to start the middle frame. In the second power play for Harvard, Ted Donato fired a shot from the point and the puck sailed past Stauber's glove to tie the score. Four minutes later, just after the Gophers killed off the third penalty, Lane MacDonald managed to get behind Minnesota's defensemen and cut across the front of the net before beating a sprawled Stauber to give Harvard its first lead. Three and a half minutes later Minnesota finally broke through on the power play and the two teams skated into intermission tied at 2.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, NCAA Tournament, Title Game
Minnesota had the balance of power in the third but it was Donato who found the back of the net first, giving Harvard the lead with just over 7 minutes to play. The Gophers fought furiously to tie the score and managed to do just that on their third power play of the period. In overtime Minnesota nearly won the game when a shot from Randy Skarda beat Chuckie Hughes' blocker but it hit the post square and bounced straight back.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, NCAA Tournament, Title Game
A few minutes later Harvard won a faceoff in Minnesota's end and Brian McCormack shot a puck from the point. It rebounded off of Stauber and, while Peter Ciavaglia was being tackled by Skarda, Ed Krayer picked up the puck, skated a few feet towards the corner and backhanded a puck that eluded Stauber. The overtime goal silenced the partisan crowd while the cheers from the Harvard squad echoed throughout the building.


1988–89 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season, Awards and Honors
Ted Donato's two goals in the final games helped him win tournament MOP honors, and he was joined on the All-Tournament team by Kevin Sneddon, Lane MacDonald and Allain Roy. MacDonald's Hobey Baker award was the third for Harvard in a seven-year span and he was the only member of the team to make the AHCA All-American East First Team though linemate C. J. Young made the Second Team. MacDonald was also ECAC Player of the Year and an All-ECAC First Team member. Young, Allen Bourbeau and Peter Ciavaglia made second-team all-conference. As they had been equally critical to the team's success all season, it was fitting that Allain Roy and Chuckie Hughes shared the goaltending spot on the All-ECAC Rookie Team.

1988–89 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
Following the disastrous campaign orchestrated by Steve Smith and Malcolm Macdonald the previous season, it was up to former Ireland manager Eoin Hand and assistant Peter Withe to try to recover Town's perilous position in the 3rd tier of English football. At the start of the season, Town seemed to register a loss and a win every alternate week. Although new signing Craig Maskell (bought using the money funded by the sale of Duncan Shearer during the close-season.) started to score the goals that would try to bring Town up to the play-off spots.


1988–89 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
The season did not bring much joy to the Town fans probably still reeling from relegation the previous season, although Town did bring some joy with some good results during January and February, as well as a narrow defeat by soon-to-be promoted Sheffield United in the FA Cup restored some pride to the beleaguered fans.


1988–89 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
Also during the season Town recorded their biggest ever away league victory – a 6–0 thrashing of Bury at Gigg Lane. Bizarrely, Town would lose 6–0 at Bury the following season. In the last 7 games, Town lost 5 of them and drew the other 2. But, on a positive note, Craig Maskell broke a post-war goalscoring record of 32 goals set by Jimmy Glazzard in the 1954–55 season, by scoring his 33rd goal of the season in the last game of the season at home to Wigan Athletic.

The 1988–89 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team represented the University of Illinois.


1988–89 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team, Regular season
The 1988-89 team may have been the most talented team ever assembled at the University of Illinois. The team was so athletic that they could "run and alley-oop" baskets using even the non-starting players, and a record number of 100+ game scores reflected this fact. The players known as the“Flying Illini,” included all the important pieces from the 1987-88 squad (Kenny Battle, Kendall Gill, Steve Bardo, Lowell Hamilton, Nick Anderson and Larry Smith) as well as junior college All-American P.J. Bowman and former high school All-American Marcus Liberty.


1988–89 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team, Regular season
The Fighting Illini won their first 16 games and were ranked No. 2 in the nation going into a nationally televised game against Georgia Tech, whom Illinois had already beaten, 80-75, at the Rainbow Classic in December. The Yellow Jackets led, 47-31, but Illinois managed to surge back to force overtime, eventually needing two extra periods to win the game. Along with the No. 1 ranking the next day came some bad news. Illinois’ catalyst, Gill, had broken a bone in his foot and would miss the next 12 games.


1988–89 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team, Regular season
Hurt by the loss of Gill, Illinois lost three of the next four games and its No. 1 ranking. The Illini rallied to finish second in the Big Ten with a 14-4 record and with Gill back in the lineup, the Illini were awarded a No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament. After rolling to victories over McNeese State and Ball State at the Hoosier Dome, a powerpacked regional in Minneapolis with Missouri, Louisville and Syracuse, stood in the way of Illinois’ trip to the Final Four.


1988–89 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team, Regular season
Louisville fell victim to Illinois, losing 83-69, which set up a regional final matchup with Syracuse. The Fighting Illini held off Syracuse to advance to the Final Four in Seattle where Illinois faced Michigan, a team ithad beaten twice already in conference play, in the national semifinals. Michigan was inspired by the firing of their coach prior to the tournament, and won a game that contained 33 lead changes. Despite Battle’s 29-point, 11-rebound effort, Illinois fell to eventual national-champion Michigan, 83-81.

1988–89 Indiana Pacers season
The 1988–89 NBA season was Indiana's 13th season in the NBA and 22nd season as a franchise.

1988–89 Inter Milan season, Season
After another disappointing season, Inter retained Giovanni Trapattoni and acquired German footballers: Brehme, a fullback, and Lothar Matthäus, a box-to-box midfielder, signed for the club. For the role of centre-forward, the first choice was Rabah Madjer: when he met physical issues, however, he was replaced by Ramón Díaz. The attacking couple, completed by Aldo Serena, proved to be very regular in scoring. The departure of Alessandro Altobelli was not critical, despite an early elimination from the Coppa Italia.


1988–89 Inter Milan season, Season
The domestic league had an easier path, with Inter able to stay unbeaten for almost half of the season; but were knocked out of Europe, caused by Bayern Munich. Fiorentina were the first to beat Inter, on matchday 17. The following positive streak made the gap over rivals so large that Inter could celebrate the Scudetto on 28 May, after beating Napoli 2–1. During the last month, with five games to spare, the side had collected 26 wins, six draws and two losses: the final amount was 58 points, a still-unbeaten record for Serie A with 18 teams and two points for a win.
