Duke vs. UNC Basketball 1961

[loblg88]

This look like some old fashion racist shit. I was expecting the KKK to jump up out the audience at any moment.

Art Heyman is the fucking man! played some card with him in Ocala FL today . . . . nicest guy you will ever meet, great stories . . great player, could go on for days. . . . . not the strongest card player tho lol

Excuse me for being a basketball critic, but it wasn't that hard of a foul.!!!

The fight guaranteed all UNC-Duke games would be on TV from then on, which they hadn't been up to that point. TV had a lot to do with building up the rivalry, the ratings were huge for that time and the network affiliates in NC pre-empted national programming to show Duke-UNC (which they still do 50 years later).

The football game was a much bigger event until the mid 60s when both basketball teams were national powers at the same time, and have pretty much stayed that way ever since.

[dukeheat]

Is that what started the rivalry? I think the Heyman and Brown conflict started the rivalry.

It didn't seem that hard of a foul. Especially by today's standards!!
