Wow! 38 years ago today. I was a freshman living at Morrison. My roomie and I were putting on our coats to leave cause it looked like game over. We had seats high up at the end of the court opposite the Carolina goal. Went from being bummed about the upset to absolute exhilaration in about two minutes. Wish I still had the ticket stub for that one.

now that there is a 3 point line, that final shot would have won it... i think

I was at that game! It is one of the greatest memories of my life. I was sitting about 6 rows up behind the Carolina bench. We almost left because it looked as though the game was a goner and we wanted to beat the traffic to a local bar. The first throw in was right in front of me. I was also at two games at Duke which went into triple overtime. The games just aren't the same nowadays.

What is this footage from?
Stunning combination of resiliancy by UNC, choking by Duke, strategy by Dean Smith to have so many timeouts left, and luck by banking in the last shot. 8 points down, 17 seconds left, no three-pointer. If this isn't the greatest comeback in sports history, I don't know what is.

"Dook was a little bit of an afterthought."
LOL, they still are. While UNC is celebrating its 5th NCAA title, Dook is sitting at home wondering if it will ever be relevant again.
