Epic Comeback

From GoDuke the Magazine, Issue 10.7

The most prolific basketball comeback in the Duke record books has certainly stood the test of time. Way back in December of 1950, the Blue Devils trailed Tulane by 32 points in the first half of a Dixie Classic contest in Raleigh before staging a monumental rally that led to a 74-72 victory. That stood as the biggest comeback in NCAA history for 67 years, until Drexel rallied from 34 points down to beat Delaware last season.

On Feb. 12 of this season, the Blue Devils posted the largest comeback of the Coach K era when they overcame a 23-point deficit at Louisville.
