You Tube Gold: Duke-Kentucky 1978

Here’s a treat - Duke’s 1978 trip to the title game against Kentucky.

The ‘78 team was a special group that came together unbelievably well and went on a joy ride at the end of the season.

The ride through the ACC tournament was a blast then Duke, after a tough game with Rhode Island to open the tournament, got on a roll. The win over Villanova in the regional finals was brilliant and after a tough win over Notre Dame, Duke found itself in the national championship...and ran into Goose Givens who got incredibly hot and hit for 41.
