YouTube Gold: Duke Denies Lefty Driesell A Milestone

In 1985, Lefty Driesell was a year away from the implosion at Maryland that followed the death of Len Bias.

He had a really good team that year, with Bias of course the focus. Aside from the soon-to-be tragic star, the Terps also started Derrick Lewis, Terry Long, Adrian Branch and Keith Gatlin.

Duke was on the rise in 1985, but Mike Krzyzewski was not yet iconic: his first Final Four trip was one year away. Lefty doesn't give him much respect in the post-game handshake.

The Blue Devils had Johnny Dawkins, David Henderson, Mark Alarie and Jay Bilas, all juniors, and Tommy Amaker, a sophomore.
