YouTube Gold: Bobby Hurley Goes For Broke Against UNLV

Remember how, after Duke beat Wisconsin for the 2015 title, how Mike Krzyzewksi called Grayson Allen’s diving for the ball “the most important play” in Duke history?

He would know better than us, but you could also argue that prior to that play, Bobby Hurley had it.

We’re referring to his huge shot against UNLV in the 1991 NCAA semifinals.

Fearsome UNLV had gradually tightened up during the tournament and by the time Duke played them, the undefeated Rebels were beatable - but barely.

Duke had fallen behind 76-71 with less than 2:30 left, when the ball swung right and then back left to Hurley, who was almost unguarded out past the three point line.
