UNC Crushes Duke In Chapel Hill, 91-73

One of the, if not the foundational moments in the history of Mike Krzyzewski’s Duke Basketball program was after Ralph Sampson’s Virginia team beat Duke by 43 in the ACC Tournament.

The staff and several people around the program were out for a meal when Johnny Moore offered “here’s to forgetting tonight.”

Coach’s K’s famous response: “here’s to never forgetting tonight.”

We hope his current team gets that lesson reiterated after the regular season finale in Chapel Hill because UNC just took it to Duke in every way possible and although Duke played UNC basically even in the second half, it wasn't enough to overcome a 16 point halftime deficit, much less the overall poor play that characterized Duke’s effort.
