If you had to draw up a list of the greatest Duke games, most of us would put the Laettner game (Kentucky ‘92), the Gone In 54 Seconds game, the Austin Rivers game, the Tre Jones game, and everyone would have a few personal favorites.
In our opinion, the greatest game though has to be Duke’s win over UNLV in 1991.
Why?
Well several reasons really.
First, UNLV was undefeated and had beat Duke senseless the year before. Second, that team was widely seen as unbeatable. Third, it was the game, as much as any, that put Duke in a different orbit.
