    You got it.

    Loved it when Duke went 4 corners on them late in the first half.

    Duke led 7-0 at the half vs. UNC.

    If I recall correctly, the Tarheels even failed to hit the rim the entire first half.

    With one missed shot (by Chicky Yonakor) leading to the (first ever?) chant of Airball!

    In 1907 Trinity defeated Trinity Park 24-1, Littleton High School 62-1 and Guilford 20-1. And that was in a six-game season.

    Trinity defeated Trinity Park by that same 24-1 score the following season.

    My math could be off but I'm fairly certain that a scoreless half is implied by a one-point game.

    Technically, it was Dean Smith that prevented his team from scoring that half.

    The Cam held about 8,000 back then? I am proud to be one of the 80,000 or so who claim to have been there to see history.

    I was also lucky enough to be one of the 500,000 to have seen Franco Harris' "immaculate reception" in Three Rivers Stadium that held 50,000.

    I actually was there that day. It was Jim Spanarkel's senior day and I was a third year law student at UNC. I don't think I missed a Duke home game while I was at UNC. It was an easy drive back to Durham to go to the game with my dad. That was the day I lost all respect for Dean Smith.

    Small hint: they attended the same Midwestern high school, but one went West and one went East for college.

    Sorry for no direct Duke ties to this question, though one of the players played in the ACC and Duke did play in one of the Final Fours involving the other player.

    Thanks for trying!

    Further hints: the FF appearances for these two players were 14 years apart.

    That's true. The original post did say regular season.

    Wallace Wade played in the Rose Bowl (Brown University). Coached both Alabama and Duke in the Rose Bowl. I think he was the first to accomplish this. Tommy Prothro accomplished this later.

    One of my regrets as a Duke student is not taking one of his classes as an elective. In my defense, I only managed to take a single elective class in my whole Duke career. But it would have been cool to have had one of the same professors as my father.

    One of them is Kenny Lofton. He played in the Final Four for Arizona in 1988 and the World Series for the Cleveland Indians in 1995 and the San Francisco Giants in 2002.

    Lofton narrowly missed playing in three more World Series. He was with the Chicago Cubs in 2003 when they were five outs away from clinching the pennant in Game Six of the NLCS, then imploded (the infamous Steve Bartman game) and eventually lost in seven games to the Marlins. He was with the New York Yankees in 2004 when they blew a 3-0 series lead and lost the ALCS to the Boston Red Sox. And he was with the Indians in 2007 (his last season in the majors) when they blew a 3-1 series lead and lost the ALCS to the Red Sox.

    Not sure of the other.

    Back to the original premise of the thread. My favorite Duke trivia, which I've posted about here before, are Christian Laettner's career FG and FT percentages in NCAA Regional Final games (he played in four of them).

    FG%: 91.18% (31-for-34)
    FT%: 91.89% (34-for-37)
