YouTube Gold: The 2001 Duke-Arizona Title Game
Photo by Craig Jones N366226 07: Duke University forward Shane Battier, right, drives into the lane against Landon Rowe of the Lamar Cardinals during Duke’s 82-55 first-round victory in an NCAA East Regional game in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, March 17, 2000.After Duke’s brilliant comeback vs. Maryland in the 2001 Final Four, the Blue Devils still had to defeat Lute Olson’s Arizona team to win.
Shane Battier put on a brilliant performance, one for the ages. Look for his fingernail block (think about it for a second)and (we can’t remember if it was the same play) a block where he caught the ball falling out of bounds and passed it back to a teammate.
