Well said at the end. Anyone who’s ever done anything meaningful knows there’s a difference between winning and success.

As memorable as the shot was, it would have never happened without that incredible pass from Grant Hill. I got to tell Mr. Hill that at this year's regional in my hometown in Greenville, SC

Anyone heard Chris L’s stats that night? 10 for 10 field 10 for 10 free throw. Every coaches dream player.

The presence of mind to take a time out after the shot of Sean woods went in, and the pass of grant hill to laetner and the composure to take the shot for the game winning basket...it really was worth watching...

The 1992 and 1998 regional final games between Duke and UK are easily two of the best games in NCAAT history. 1992 had the defending champions Duke #1 v the Kentucky Mountain boys who stuck out probation. Game goes to OT, Woods hits bank shot over Lattener with but 2 tics left. Then the shot and Duke goes on to win it all back to back. Cawood Ledfords last radio called game for UK as well. 1998 Featured two great teams with Duke opening up huge leads over UK in the 1st half and the 2nd leading the Cats by 17 with under 10 minutes left. Then the epic UK rally with big three pointer after hig three pointer. UK goes on to win by 2 and then goes on to win the National Title with native Kentuckians Adgett and Mills leading the way.

As the Maryland fan, that great Duke team, our rival, their greatness got my team a national championship 2002.* Praise "enemy" Coach K. (LEGEND FOREVER!) *They almost stopped us in those years because they were dynamite just as well. 2001 champs they were

10 for 10 from the field and 10 for 10 from the line. Wow

Greatest college basketball game of all time. Everyone remembers where they were when Laettner hit that shot.

Great interview!! The boss!!

That happened on my birthday, completely ruining it. And then a decade later, I moved from Kentucky to Durham, NC for my husband's job. I STILL LOATHE DUKE, even though my house is just off the west campus. :-P

I've posted this a few times. I wasn't a basketball fan; I never knew about "the shot"! I lived in Great Falls, Virginia, a few doors from Laettner. He had a lovely wife and two daughters and would take walks up our 50-yard street. We had five long-haired, adorable wiener dogs. He would come over often, the nicest guy I ever met. I just found out he was famous for these videos. Some people aren't into basketball, but after seeing this, holy shit! What a great feeling.

I was a kid watching the game in the living room with my family. Shot goes in everybody’s screaming. I run out the back door in my room up the hill to the Duke Dorms on Broad Street. Help the college kids celebrate by throwing toilet paper into the trees. Been a Duke fan every since 💙

On that 1992 day, I was working as a sportswriter covering the Indiana high school state title game in the Hoosierdome. The other staffer I was working with was two minutes late getting courtside, telling me he had to stay late in press room because the Kentucky-Duke regional title game had the most profound ending. I didn't believe him -- until the next day when I saw the replays of the ending. I forgave him.

That game broke my ❤.. Go Big Blue!!

What I remember most about that game was the announcers before the game not giving Kentucky a snowball's chance in Hell against Duke. Duke was defending national champion Kentucky was coming off probation started a bunch of scrubs basically. Had one future star Jamal Mashburn but he was just a freshman I believe. The heart those Kentucky kids showed was simply unbelievable. The heart both teams showed for that matter. Truly the greatest college basketball game I've ever witnessed. It was like a heavyweight fight neither team would give an inch. U just knew the team that had the ball last was going to win. I'll never forget Thomas Hill of Duke sobbing after Laettner hit that shot he could not believe what he had just witnessed. The emotion of that game was off the charts. People still talk about that game where were u when Laettner hit that shot against Kentucky. I also remember Coach K being very gracious even wanting to go on Kentucky radio to help console UK fans after such a heartbreaking loss a classy move by a classy guy.

CL one of the greatest careers in college basketball history

The moment Laettner hit that shot, I was a college senior watching the game with my girlfriend (who I married the next year, and still married) at her parents' house. Being a Duke fan, this whole game was filled with the tension befitting an all-time classic contest. As the ball went through the basket, I jumped up and repeatedly yelled "HE MADE THE SHOT! HE MADE THE SHOT!". This woke up my almost 2-year-old neice who started crying, oops! I then turned to my girlfriend and said, "They will be talking about this game for the next 20 YEARS!" She didn't believe that at all, but I was right!

Coach k looks like he ages gracefully this guy never gets old

For some unknown reason last night I was laying in bed (couldn't sleep) and I randomly started thinking of that last-second play by Duke to beat Kentucky and as I always do I thought to myself, "that is STILL after all these years the best college basketball game I've ever seen" (I'm in my late 50's now). Then I come onto KZfaq today and out of the blue, the KZfaq algorithm feeds me clips of that play!

Laettner going twenty for twenty that is clutch on a crazy scale. Wow.

I was only 11 when this happened, and yes, i was balling my eyes out along with my stepdad bouncing off of walls in my living room so hard two of them had to be replaced the following day, by me. Of course😂😂😂

The shot!

I remember very well Christian Laettner shouldn't have even been in the game, after stomping the UK PLAYER Intentionally in the chest while laying on the court. Right is right and wrong is wrong and anyone who would do something like that should have been thrown out of the game. I don't care who you are or who you play for. I am a long time fan of Kentucky wildcats going all the way back to Dan Isle days. I still bleed blue after all these years 🏀

The GOAT 🐐🐐🐐 HE'S A BADDDDDDDDD MAN

I met cristion latner

Found those I Still Hate Laettner and those I Still Love Laettner Shirts on Amazon if anyone was looking for them

Barbie's boyfriend Ken bringing out some insightful takes from coach K here

goat

Why isn't coach K in the NBA ?? Does anyone know ?

1998...the real national championship....in St Pete...the lights went out for a few minutes, which was an omen...Duke couldn't hold the lead...Wojos last game...sickening still.

Still can't believe we lost to Kentucky in the 1998 title game,also the 1999 title game. Should of been back to back Natty's

Okay I have no idea what he was talking about the second half of this video bc I was paying attention to how many times he blinked

Coach K

hold on with the make up bro

Man i hate Duke and especially Laettner but that's one of the greatest shots ever.

According to Grant Hill they practiced this play everyday in practice. They’d tried it earlier in the season and missed. It was the first time he’d made the pass perfectly. And of course it worked

Anyone heard Chris L’s stats that night? 10 for 10 field 10 for 10 free throw. Every coaches dream player.
