Duke vs. UNC Basketball 1979

No three point line! Western Carolina University was the first! GO WESTERN!

1960s Duke coaching legend Vic Bubas went to the same HS that my mom went to in Indiana, 2 years ahead of her.

hey dukeheat!

spoken like a true dook fan... Just watch what Coach K does at the end of games to run the clock out. Looks a lot like Coach Smith's 4 corners. If u think he is an idiot for creating that strategy than you have no knowledge or respect for the game. Hate him or not, Coach Smith is one of the best of all time. Just about every coach in the game uses a lot of his strategies so make sure your comments make sense before they exit your brain.

This would also be the game where the Cameron Crazies coined the phrase "air ball" when unc totally missed one of their rare first half shots.

I hate it when teams stall! I've been around that situation twice in my basketball career.

If it wasn't for Dean Smith suggesting the NCAA should go to the shot clock, the shot clock would have been postponed a couple of more years.

The week before Clemson used the same strategy early in the game against dook to get them to come out of their zone defense. It worked and Clemson won. Dean was trying the same thing only this time dook wouldn't come out of the zone. Both teams refused to budge or the whole first half.

That was rediculous how he could even think of doing the 4 corners. It was effective in some games but it was cheap and was a desperate attempt to win ball games. It was a good thing they put in the shot clock though. Go Duke!!!

@dukeheat who won the week after that ?
