Delightful.
I respectfully submit that this should be a pinned thread.
Greatest come from behind victory in Duke history!

Done.Or maybe change the thread title to "Look What I Found! The 82-50 Game" so that it comes up in DBR search queries.
I don't remember much about this game...just remember it being a pretty good game.

You 3rd party voters are stone cold man.Took the starters out too early.
In this case, I am decidedly partisan.You 3rd party voters are stone cold man.
Small nugget that I have always looked back fondly on - during the pre-game show, current coach of the Hated Heels Hubert Davis, after noting that the team was on a two-game winning streak, picked the Heels to win. At halftime he was shown ripping up his notes and tossing them aside. Wonderful stuff.what a great game. But what do you expect when one team is 35-5, 13-3 T-1st in a conference, National Champions and had 7 future NBA players on the roster (would have been 8 if Scheyer hadn't gotten that eye injury) and the other is 20-17 (after starting 11-3) 5-10, 10th in conference, NIT runner-ups and led by Larry Drew II? Well, maybe not a 32 point margin--but Duke should have beaten them handily. And this game they did what they should have done. Very satisfying.
Ha! Didn't realize that Duke finished the game with an 82-49 run over the final 39:45.Greatest come from behind victory in Duke history!
I bought three games on iTunes: this one, 1998 uNC at Duke, and 2012 Duke at uNC.There was a brief period of time where the iTunes store allowed you to purchase recordings of sporting events for download. This game was the first and only purchase I ever made, and it still exists on my apple account and my very outdated PC version of the iTunes application. Best $2.99 I ever spent.
