FUCK DUKE!

[DaPhils]

Run down the floor and run up the score. There was something so special about this UNLV team, its something we'll never see again in college basketball.

Watching Duke lose is Better than watching the Nazis lose world war 2

I loved the fuck out of the runnin rebels!! But it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that the 91 final four matchup between duke and unlv was fixed by "The Fixer" How do you play a team a year before in the championship, then play them again the next year in the final four? Anything to make the pussy-ass white "Duke" boys look good!! Damn shame.

I remember watching the 1991 quarter finals, and thinking to myself, "this is not the same team from last year". They beat the brakes off the very same team(Duke), and just seemed not to be in the building then. I hoped that it wasn't fixed, but I know in my heart it was. Damn shame, could have been way above any other team, EVER!

Duke was the team all the white rich kids I knew rooted for.

@cbaldwinjr Well said. If you're black and aggressive, not a choir boy that constantly tows the line like the Dookies, you get called a "thug", or the like. Same with G-town and Michigan back then. Rose was exactly right. The Dookies got squashed cuz they played guys who played like men; tough, ferocious, highly athletic men. Coach K. is a tremendous coach at the college level, but he'd never succeed as well at the pro level, cuz he has to have these candy-ass choir boys who will be submissive.

This was the best college basketball team of my lifetime. I say that because it was basically the same team in 1991, which for my money was unbeatable. My late father insisted that Richard Perry had those guys fix that Duke semifinal game. I dunno...as much as I hate Duke, they had a great team. But no one played like UNLV did. It's too bad those guys were labeled as 'thugs' and crap because they were black and had fun. Greg Anthony is a freakin' Republican! SMH

@ragzy02

I've never heard them say they invented them. I have heard attribution to their POPULARITY given to the Fab Five...which is true. The black socks was another fashion style. But you're reaching saying any of them claimed to create the idea.
