So Paolo Banchero Enjoyed Duke’s Win Over UNC Saturday...
Mar 4, 2023; Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA; Duke Blue Devils center Dereck Lively II (1) and guard Jeremy Roach (3) react after winning the game at Dean E. Smith Center.There wasn’t a lot about losing to UNLV in 1990 that was funny but their slogan, in a way, was: the unofficial Rebel slogan was “it ain’t the winning...it’s the collecting.”
Borrowed from some rough tuff creampuffs from the Strip, it perfectly encapsulated the 1990 Runnin’ Rebels.
In 1991, Duke got to put it to use after shutting up UNLV and particularly Stacey Augmon, who fantasized publicly about how easy it would be to beat Duke again.
So..it ain’t the winning...it’s the collecting.
Paolo Banchero collected a bit himself.
