Mike DeCourcy On The Laettner Game

Over at The Sporting News, Mike DeCourcy has a column up on the legendary 1992 game between Duke and Kentucky.

You know, the one where Christian Laettner hit a shot that’s been talked about ever since to clinch the game.

This article delves heavily into that legend.

DeCourcy spoke to Mike Krzyzewski, Bobby Hurley, Jay Bilas, Mike Brey and Len Elmore. Bilas and Brey were on the Duke staff while Elmore covered the game for CBS.

Hurley says that without this win, Duke would not have become elite in the way that it did.
