You Tube Gold: Duke vs. Purdue, 1994

In 1994, Glenn Robinson was widely seen as the best player in the NCAA and a major problem for Duke in the 1994 NCAA Tournament.

That was until Grant Hill volunteered to defend him.

It had a major effect on Duke’s offense - Hill shot just 4-12 and scored just 11 points but he held Robinson to 6-22 and just 14 points.

It was a superb defensive effort on Hill’s part but Duke outscored the Boilermakers from the line 26-5 and won 69-60.

Robinson was still preferred though when it came to draft time, the Milwaukee Bucks picked him first and Hill went to Detroit with the #3 pick.
